Guild Wars 2

so i have loaded all my characters with divinity runes, and with the new stat ferocity coming in i believe they wont be used much at all. should i just sell them and get my money back before the feature patch? or will they still be worth using?

The ferocity will affect the divinity runes for sure, what we aren’t 100% sure is how much.
If you are using them purely for the crit damage I’m sure there will be better options besides divinity after the patch.

Since A-Net is boosting the stats on Celestial gear… I am HOPING they boost the stats of Divinity runes as well

If divinity runes gets a boost just like celestial set, have it for the crit damage/ferocity won’t be a good idea.

I use celestial set in my engineer for many reasons but crit damage, so I’m happy with the change, otherwise I would start to look for other sets/runes.

I use mine for my Ele, and same i dont use them for the Crit Dmg either but u never know what they’ll do

I just saw a pic of traveler runes-to-come: http://dulfy.net/2014/03/28/gw2-ready-up-episode-9-livestream-notes/
before: +10 all, 2% crit / +15% boon / +10 all, 2% crit / +10% cond / +10 all, 2% crit / +25% ms
after: +8 all / +5% boon / +12 all / +10% boon, +10% cond / +16 all / +25% ms
in the end, that’s 6 extra all stats but 6% less crit dmg. I believe 36 ferocity will be around 3% crit dmg, so less crit overall, but more other stuff

Based on this, I expect Rune of Divinity to look like this after the change:
8 all / +10 all / +12 all / +14 all / +16 all / +18 all (78 total)
which would reduce crit dmg from 12% to around 6%, but add 18 stats everwhere else. I actually expect the new divinity runes to only have 12 more stats than the old ones, I just couldn’t make it work with the amounts (6/8/10/14/16/18 ? except then it’s more higher-bonus-weighted than traveler… I doubt they’ll do 7/9/11/13/15/17)

I wouldn’t mind that at all ( the 1st one not the 2nd).

Depends if you view the high critical damage as the icing or the cake.

“Superior Rune of Divinity
+8 to all stats
+10 to all stats
+12 to all stats
+14 to all stats
+16 to all stats
+18 to all stats”
