Guild Wars 2

Any runes that have boon, might, or protection duration (if you have that 10 earth or use armor of earth). I’m using Water, Hoelbrak, and the other might duration one, can’t think of the name atm. Another good combo is Monk, Water, and 2 runes to get what suits you best, such as might duration or protection duration bein either hoelbrak or runes of earth. I think boon duration of those sorts help an Ele better than Divinity.

What are the best runes for a D/D ele?
I have PTV gear, basically.
I have heard a series of different combos but one D/D ele i talked to said Divinity is the bets but costly.
What are some good rune combos for armor?

If you are using a aura build, which I assume you are, most D/D Eles do so, (including me) you can go with 2 Major Water, 2 Superior Water and 2 Superior Monk, that will give you 40% extra boon duration.

The two posters above already named the most valid alternative (Monk + Water for boon durations, which I am using too). Just wanted to squeeze in, which one you end up with is really a matter of preference tho.

Full Divinity gives a truckload of stats and that +crit damage really is nothing to be scoffed at with fury (which a D/D Ele should be able to maintain for at least most of a battle). They are more of an offensive approach I’d say. And yea, they’re costly .

So if you’re sitting on a lot of gold and want those bigger damage numbers, I’d say go with Divinity. If you want a more defensive approach or have a limited budget, 2 Sup Water, 2 Sup Monk, 2 Major Water/Monk is the way to go imo.
