Guild Wars 2

What runes go well with a Zerker geared Guardian? Im using the runes that come with the CoF gear so far. And I use a greatsword with bloodlust rune.

Ruby orbs will give you the best and most affordable set of zerker stats if you are after all out damage. If you are after some group play, some like to use soldiers for shouts removing conditions and adding a little survivability.

If your looking to go full zerker ruby orbs are the way to go

Thank you for the responses!

Out of curiosity, what do you think about the runes of strength? I’m wondering whether the 20 % might duration are useful or just negligible when using Empowering Might.

well 20% of 10 seconds is 2 extra seconds of might while the 2 runes of strength cuold be substituted for 2 ruby orbs which would be 40 power, 28 prec, 4% crit damage would imo would be much more useful than 2 more seconds of might

EM unfortunately only gives 5s might, so the bonus would be 1s. Furthermore, I thought of 6/6, 2/6 does not make any sense imo. The question is just whether the (small) might bonus for the group would outweigh the minor loss of my own damage compared to the rubies.

Assuming you can stay 30% of the time above 90% of your hp , best dps runes are scholar runes. Ruby orbs are cheaper and safer alternative though.

Runes of strength last bonus doesn’t work.

Doesn’t work? Thanks a lot, I would never have expected that. In that case, the choice really becomes a no-choice.
