Guild Wars 2

Superior Rune of Evasion:
+25 Ferocity
When executing a dodge roll, you gain 3 seconds of swiftness.
+50 Ferocity
When executing a dodge roll, you gain 3 seconds of fury.
+100 Ferocity
When executing a dodge roll, deal a crippling strike to nearby enemies.

One of the new runesets introduced this patch which took my particular interest
Awesome synergy with DE and Sigil of Energy.
Provides some extra mobility both ooc and in-combat. Might be better than Traveler runes as the stats bonus is more useful.
The fury on demand is gonna be particularly useful for Shatters and Mantra of Pain.
And the cripple is interesting as well, both offensively and defensively.

Although this makes Bountiful Dissillusionment much less appealing as a grandmaster trait (not that it was any useful to begin with).

What are your thoughts?

Evasion isn’t useful due to the internal cooldown and the short range of the cripple proc. I was also told by my friend that they don’t proc boon duration bonuses so they may also be bugged. Typically I see people debating between Traveler/strength but my good ol’ fashion fallback has been Lyssa runes. If you can’t make a decision join our Goddess Lyssa, for she has always smiled upon us. Hoebrak also has it’s uses but I prefer Lyss.

A few queries:

Do the boons proc out of combat?
Are there any internal cooldowns?
Whats the AoE on the dodge roll?

If I get favourable answers to those, I will absolutely love this runeset

ICD is 10s, just short of CD for mind wrack in shatter build. Combine with fury and cripple could potentially be alternative source of soft cc (not as reliable but less predictable than iLeap) to set up close range shatter. Anyone want to test the range? Recipe is about 6g atm but I can’t spare much gold right now.

It does proc out of combat (it procs after the dodge, not immediately when u dodge).
Cooldowns 10s for the boon proc, 9s for cripple proc.

I dont know about the aoe radius of cripple yet.

I’m pretty interested in this rune too, but I have rune of strength equipped. I wonder how it fares on a shatter mesmer?

I have tested it, the best you can get is 33% swiftness up time due to the ICD. When I first read about this I had high hopes too, but it looks like its Travler’s, Pack, Air and Centaur depending on weapons and build.

The boons procced from the runes are not getting the boon duration bonus at the moment. I suppose its a bug? Hope Anet fix it soon.
