Glass Cannon Mesmer - Runes?
I am building armor + weapon set for highlevel fractal and other dungeons for my Mesmer. Which combination would give me the biggest damage output?
Berserker Armor, Weapon and Accessoirs are obvious but which runes and sigils?Rune of the Scholar or Rune of the Eagle
And Sigils? I’m using Greatsword – Sword/Focus
I’m thinking about Sigil of Force(5%dmg), Sigil of Accuracy (5% crit. chance), Sigil of Bloodlust (10power/kill) or Sigil of Perception (10precision)+10%dmg when >90% hp from scholar is pretty good for mesmer because I’m most of the time >90%hp. Or Rune of the Eagle + Sigil of Perception for more crits?
After some serious maths discussion for GS if your crit is over say 15%, you should definitely be going for power or +damage % and not crit. I personally use +5 damage, and i also use the food that is 200 power for 30s any time you kill something
I also use scholar, the power bonus and crit damage bonus are also very useful
I run ruby orbs on my glass build. I could get any rune set I want, but I really like the consistency of ruby orbs. 120 power, 84 precision, and 12% crit dmg is really nice (scholar is 165 power, 8% crit dmg). Scholar is greater dps but only if you’re above 90% (which is what, like one tap from a mob?). I use fire sigil on my GS, after testing on the mist dummies put it just ahead of force sigil (5% dmg) in single target dps, and it has the added bonus of being an AOE.
