Guild Wars 2

Hi Everyone! I was just wondering if I could get your opinions on which armor should I apply my Superior Rune of Divinity Set. I’m still working on my build but I’m more of a staff user. I’ve been contemplating on whether to apply it on a Knight or Berserker armor set. Any thoughts?

PS: Your advice is greatly appreciated!

…you don’t even mention what for. PvE/WvW?

If you want full glass you’d be better off with Eagle or Scholar than Divinity.
And honestly I still think Boon Duration far outweighs any amount of Crit Damage on any ele build, especially with how easily we accumulate Might. You can get enough CD from gear, jewelery and food that losing it in runes won’t weigh you down at all.

My PVT gear has dolyak runes, and my Knights has ruby orbs. I don’t really want to switch to boon duration on either of those. I use knights in staff mostly as I don’t have a zerker set.

People need to test the runes out in spvp as it is free to do so. The last time I tried divinity it felt like a waste of better options. In spvp you can get away with full zerkers a lot of the time. In wvw you cannot. The culling is one of the main reasons. And increased targets and siege fire are the others. Plus, your hp is like 13k in zerkers. Divinity runes are 8g each right now and so not worth it. At least not for an ele. Just my opinion. I don’t do spreadsheets like some of these guys on the forum.

Dolyak Runes are horrendous, but feel free to continue living in denial.

Most likely for PvE. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input but I was planning a more balance/all around build. I’ve actually decided to utilize my divinity runes because I already have them. What I’m uncertain of is which armor to apply them to.

Thanks for the input. I’ve actually purchased the runes already and I’m more interested in finding out your opinion on which armor set I should apply them to.

I put my divinity on 2 berserk + 4 PVT gear, but I believe my other armor set for boon duration is better… Runes for boon for whole 6 armor is cheaper than 1 divinity >_<

Do you mind sharing with me your armor set for boon duration?

2 x monk + 2 x major water + 2 x sup. water or 4 x altruism + 2 x monk ( or water)

You’re just going to be all rude about it without explaining why?

Having a ton of hp, toughness, and regen lets me run into a zerg first, aoe everyone, and get back out again most times. If I get downed, I get rallied from all the people I just aoe’d. You can solo a camp and defenders in it with this gear. If there’s better runes, so be it, but dolyak isn’t “horrendous”.

I expected a better attitude from someone in a decent guild that put out entertaining videos.

2 divinity runes replacing the major water runes in a full boon duration rune setup is a consideration.

2 sup water, 2 sup monk, 2 sup divinity.

I personally go 2 sup water, 2 sup monk, 2 sup earth for PVT ele.
Divinity is pretty good all round, but for a specific builds there’s always a rune set or two that’s better. So I’d only suggest using divinity runes if you switch you’re builds often in pve.

the health regen from dolyak is only 30 hp per second and if you have signet of healing on you; with some healing power you can get 280 health back per skill use.
