Guild Wars 2

Instead of the bonuses being condition damage and toughness, can it be power and precision/ferocity? Would match the 7% damage increase with kits better, or make kits give a condition damage increase and keep its current stats.

I’d love a rune with Power / Ferocity and 7% damage while using a kit. Probably even better than Scholar

Absolutely not. It would make it an “inaccessible” bonus. That’s too good. Especially since it’s not a specialization rune.

“inaccessible”? Explain yourself! :o

Who except for Engineer constantly carries a bundle? The gimmick of Rune of the Ranger needs to be kept in line too, who else has a pet constantly at their side? Etc. These are distinct elements that are majorly inaccessible to other classes.

Alot of runes are already inaccessable for us since we dont have any skill types that interact with runes (shouts, wells, traps etc).
One fun thing to mention: I tried running Vipers in Pvp with an engi yesterday with this rune. Works extremely well, except for survivability ofcourse

Still wouldnt mind this change

I agree that there are many runes that aren’t universally accessible. None are particularly powerful for that reason.

Rune of the Chronomancer is pretty solid, and people are even using it on Necro for some stuff.

As for who carries a bundle, old Scepter+LH comes to mind, it’s not our fault that’s been phased out! (I don’t really care either way just playing devils advocate)

I’m referring to the old class runes not the elite specialization ones.

You assume that.

Of the series ( Elementalist, Engineer, Ranger, Mesmer, Guardian, Warrior, Necromancer & Thief ) tell me which is particularly powerful.

I’ve tried to use Guardian in multiples builds, and in my opinion it’s almost good. It would just need a tiny bit more duration on the burn.

Which is my point. They’re okay. And they need to stay that way. Just okay. As runes get added you have your quiet vertical progression so the New runes for specialities have to get stronger and stronger. If basic runes get too good then there’s no point to new ones.
