Power Chrono Rune? (Vamp mist form gone)
Vamp runes will still be viable, especially since most chronomancer builds will use stealth very sparingly if it at all, since the shield is pretty much better than torch for most conquest scenarios and it balanced vamp runes will give you a bit more sustain.
Pack runes will be what most people would probably run, since thats the most common power rune behind vamp right now on non-might stacking builds.
Why did you even mention traveler?
Anyway, for ideas that you didn’t mention, I think lyssa runes are still relevant for condition cleansing. Scholar is also an amazing choice if you want to live your life dangerously, that 10% damage modifier puts some extra butter in your burst for sure.

You said solo roaming, do you mean in WvW? If so go hoelbrak for the -20% condition duration, with food and the GM minor cc conditions will be irrelevant.
Scholar might be another good choice, rune of the Mesmer if using dazes, Privateer if you wanna have a parrot around lol. Lots of choices but for me it’s hoelbrak that looks the best.
The devs said we’ll be getting a bunch of new sigils and runes with HoT… so I’m not even sure this is worth talking about yet. I’d hold off on making any investments.
Maybe rune of chronomancers?
Hoelbrak/Melandru for me.
Or any of the new unknown runes that will be coming which may have more uses.
Who cares what we’ll be running. I’ll just be glad not to have to wait 4 extra seconds to knock that last lick of life off an already done and dusted target -_-u
Honestly, I just wasted you. What makes you think you deserve to continue breathing?
Godkitten vampires.
@Ross Biddle:
Lol. My thoughts exactly^^

Chronomancy works, I am proof of it. Now stop asking me questions. Time must be preserved!

So if it just lets player breath for 4 more seconds, it wouldn’t be nerf’ed in the first place.
It actually literally saves players lives!

The point is they don’t deserve lives.
Vampire runes only really shines when players have the comp and skill to match it. Sometimes that mist duration is just enough for players’ recovery skill to finish CD, like mesmer/thief’s stealth; guard’s blocked heal; fresh air ele to swap back to water etc. The only class that never really benefit from it is necro and warrior tbh. And if players don’t use their skills properly……then you get the situation Ross mentioned.
Anyway I might try melandru for -50 or -90% CC condi duration or pack for raw stats. If you want % boost when out of might then I suggest runes of rage, work really well with dueling master fencer and you’re not restricted to 90% health threshold in scholar.
I think strength will be the choice. You will get might from mirrorblade, eles ect. Pack I do not see place for as the swiftness you already have and you also have perm. fury from traits, but hey, there are also new runes coming out so we may end up using some of them.

While I’m glad they ended up basically using my suggestion of the AoE lifesteal for the replacement proc, I wish they went with your idea instead and allowed the runes to forcibly turn the user into a vampire that instadies in daytime maps.

This is really good news, Players get carried by that rune. (wow, I sounded elitist there!)
Just go with Pack, or Hoelbrak.

Rofl, so few Mesmer rune choices :p
BTW, I was running pack with my standard mesmer setup, and went to Strength for Chrono, but really I just wanted any +% damage mod, so I liked the Rage suggestion someone made. But with the current options who the hell knows.

One of those stickler things:
Boon duration does NOT affect boons allies give you.
Boon duration does affect boons you give to allies.
So ele should not be on that list.
With MB, CI, SS, I still think hoelbrak or strength are good choices. As others mentioned, hoelbrak with WvW food would be an especially good combo for ignoring soft cc conditions (-93%).
Although not directly power related, runes of defender
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Defender
looks to be extremely potent with shield 4 x2. No ICD on regen on block. Bonus aegis on heal. 4k heal on a 30 sec CD when you block. If this is a new rune added, bunker chrono got a whole lot easier.
Pack is my go to for most power builds unless a new one shows promise.
