Guild Wars 2

The 6th attribute on Rune of the Dolyak, regenerate health every second, is still way too weak. It’s weaker than really cheap regenerating food. Considering how strong the 6 attribute is on most runes, this rune needs a decent step up in power.

constant health regen is a very tricky thing to balance, if it was ever made useful then everyone would use it (speaking in a pvp scenario)

at one point i was using dolyak runes on a regen banner warrior with healing signet and adrenal health, in a 1v1 i could literally just stand there and not die…
i had to ditch that build in favour of shouts and soldier runes because condi builds with spammable poison became too popular.

regen is a very tricky thing to balance and very easily becomes OP.

They are meant to give a small regen, not a constant regen. It was balanced that way by A.Net as a bit extra in survival, not to replace HP or your own healing skill.

^ Yeah, what they said. But it DOES seem a tad too weak for a 6th rune bonus though. Maybe it needs a bit more added onto it like an additional +50 Vitality.

It has to be too weak, if it stacks with food.

Yeah, that’s why I suggested adding an additional small bonus apart from the health gain. It wouldn’t be the first rune to have two bonuses for level 6; Superior Rune of Hoelbrak is one example.

It’s a dolyak rune, they should make it give you a permanent (while equipped) food regen boon so it can’t stack with other food. Why would it give you a food buff? Think of it as the rune giving you the abilities of a cow (or dolyak): every now and then you spontaneously regurgitate food to chew on, then swallow it again.

This is not a serious suggestion.

The ability of a cow… From my experience, it should place a poop mine then.
