Guild Wars 2

Is radiance rune still viable for auramancer or are there better options?

I think ist´s good but did´t bother using it due to durability rune…. and i think it´s not cumulative with one with fire. If both would add up it would be intresting for a fun fire aura build. When i go condi i often use scavening rune. I hate it that one rune is so dominant in WvW but durability for a boon ele is just great.
Of course soldiers is also a top rune for a shout build. I like surging on power builds and classic strength, hoelbrak or pack are all good for power builds. (PVE power also has scolar rune)

IMHO in PvP playing as support its not a bad option, but it IS absolutely sub-par compared to soldiers.

1 sec more of shocking/frost aura is not worth all of that lost condi cleanse. (focus has a ton of ranged hate for 1 sec of magnetic to be worth and fire aura is just fire aura). Heck I’m not sure that even 2 secs would do it.

Its mainly for PvE not PvP. Sorry that i havent clarified.
I dont main ele, so if i would pvp i would die in seconds ^^’

I think in wvw it could be pretty good since retal hits pretty hard.

for pve, eh I think going for dps would be your best bet since mobs don’t really hit all that often.

I play solo PvE, this also counts for soloing champs. So pure dps isnt my best bet.
