Guild Wars 2

Specifically, I’m talking about the Superior Rune of the Ogre

(1): +25 Power
(2): +35 Ferocity
(3): +50 Power
(4): 25% chance when struck to summon a rock dog. (Cooldown: 90s)
(5): +100 Power
(6): +4% damage

vs Superior Rune of the Privateer.

(1): +25 Power
(2): +10% Might Might Duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 25% chance when struck to shout “Yarr” and grant 3 stacks of Might to nearby allies for 10 seconds. (Cooldown: 20s)
(5): +100 Power
(6): 50% chance to summon a parrot. Cooldown: 60s

I want say, I’m only talking about general PVE roaming…….no dungeons.

I’ve done some experimenting and I think I prefer the Privateer, yet the Ogre sells for a gold or so while the Privateer sells for a few silver.

I’m curious as to what others think and why.

Maybe it’s a holdover from before the magic find change? Back then the parrot’s deploying was a sure sign the player had runed out with magic find rather than combat boost stats, plus the parrot aggroed everything around it. It was the honey badger of summoned AI’s. So a real stigma got attached to anyone using it.

The damage, as far as warrior, is better with Ogre if they are a power build.

haha honey badger >.< god thats as apt description for it as any. Id LOVE to see a badger pet get added to this game for rangers. (F2 Frenzy: kitten up everything in line of sight. Friend or foe…even the ranger itself…Honey Badger doesn’t give a kitten)
