Can you recommend some runes (PvE)
I’m tempted by Rune of the Fighter. What do you think?
Ruby gems.
You should probably say what you want to do in pve / dungeons.
I don’t recommend Ruby Orbs because while they’re good for attributes, most Runes’ have effects that compensate for it.
Rune of the Pack: 165 Power + 100 Precision + Swiftness Duration and group boons when hit.
Rune of Strength: 165 Power + 5% extra damage while you have Might.
Rune of Divinity: 60 to All Attributes, 12% Critical Damage, good because of the Ele’s versatility, but not really that awesome in my opinion.
2x Monk 2x Water 2x Major Water/Sanctuary: 40% Boon Duration, and some Healing Power/Vitality. It’s great for group support.
Rune of the Eagle: 165 Precision, 8% Critical Damage, 5% extra damage to enemies below 50% health.
I generally favor ones that gives flat % increases in damage, as most of the time it’s better than raw Power, or ones that have extra boon durations for something such as Might (especially if you play S/D), or other great effects.
Check http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Runes to see the list sorted by attributes they give.
Boon duration runes are quite nice in PVE as well, it’s not just a PVP thing.
Increasing the duration of your might may end up raising your damage more than picking more offensive minded runes in fact.
keep two monk for boon duration, then get 4 superior runes of the ogre.
Rock daawwwg!!
