Guild Wars 2

I recently made my own mesmer build that has been surprisingly effective, using the ogre rune because of that extra power damage anda free summon. However, some people Ive heard SWEAR that the bird is better and does more damage. Idk if thats true so Im asking now.

I have no boon duration with this build, so should I keep the ogre rune or go for the pirate rune?

Me and some friends have made a rock dog and a bird fight, bird wins mostly. The bird also follows people longer and is harder to see in a fight. It also attacks faster than the dog. Ogre gives better stats for dps though. Either works

Decide by the other bonuses. If you use might, go for pirate; if not, go for ogre.
