Guild Wars 2

My mesmer is my favourite character, and I’m just about done buying the armor (visually) that I want for her. However, I’m still not sure what runes would be good to buy.

I mainly use a glamour build – 20 power, 20 vitality, 30 illusions. I mainly use the staff with a GS for my second weapon. A lot of my damage comes from conditions, but idk if condition damage is really a ‘viable’ thing when it comes to runes. I was thinking of maybe Runes of the Undead, or even Runes of the Thief… clearly, I don’t know a lot about runes.

I also have a question about armor stats; what stats should I be going for? Right now I mostly have power, vitality and con. damage. Just wondering if that’s for the best.

Thanks!

Rune choices have a lot to do with play style and what you’re doing. Perhaps you could elaborate more.. are you looking for more pve damage do you want to provide more support for your team, do you want to have more mobility?.. do you WvW more than you pve or spvp? etc..

At the moment I’m mostly using my Mesmer for dungeons/PvE, though I’d like to start trying out WvW sometime soon. I also tend to play more ‘support-like’ I suppose, but PvE damage is great too!

Well if u want more survivability cant go wrong with 6x dolyak runes plus it gives a small little regen bonus when u have all 6 i pretty much use it for every one of my characters for pve but meh thats just me :P
