I have crafted 3 full berserker sets of ascended armor for each armor class (light, medium, and heavy). I have 2 mains and 11 alts and always adding more. I am not sure of how to best utilize them, so I thought I’d get some input. This is for mostly PvE and some WvW obviously since everything is available for PvP. I also have raids in the back of my mind, but that’s not a major factor – yet.

My first thought is to take advantage of the account bound status and switch sets between alts. The problem are which runes to equip. So I’ve been researching which runes will be the best for the 3 classes of that armor type. So, any ideas which runes will fit the heavy, med, and light armor sets so that they best fit all 3 classes for that armor type?

I understand that things are in a state of flux right now and that balances are coming. I also understand that builds are changing especially due to the raids. So this might not be a completely desirable solution.

I usually stick to my mains, but occasionally I like to try out the alts escpecially after class balances or new stories drop (like HoT). Since HoT arrived, I’ve been switching more frequently to alts so that I can max elite specializations.

However, my 2nd idea is just to pick 3 mains (Guard, Thief, and Mes or Necro – I can’t decided which light class) and gear them with ascended that way they are the best suited for use.

So what’s the best method for picking runes sets for my 3 sets of ascended gear (light, med, and heavy) between all my alts?
