Guild Wars 2

While screwing around testing on my Ele, I ran across these runes of badazzery

(1): +25 Ferocity Ferocity
(2): +10% Fury Duration
(3): +50 Ferocity
(4): 25% chance to gain Fury for 15 seconds when hit. (Cooldown: 30s)
(5): +100 Ferocity
(6): +20% Fury Duration; while under the effects of Fury, gain +5% damage.

I’m guessing Runes of Strength have been outshining them, so people don’t notice how awesome (and cheap) these runes are. Has anyone been doing and testing with them?

While we’re on the subject of testing stuff, how about the new and improved Sigil of Intelligence (Next 3 attacks are crits)? After checking out WindWalker’s New Build it’s got me curious of the possibilities and potential of this sigil. It certainly does make MoPain seem more interesting, I was curious about if any others were finding some interesting stuff?

I agree you don’t really want to be hit but it’s just going to happen in pvp. These could be cool since Memsers don’t have any reliable source of fury, and shatter with fury is delicious!

for shatter in pvp, i find pack runes pretty nice, they give precision, power, might, fury, swiftness,

Talking with my guild mate Potato plant that some might know we came to the conclusion that Pack is better then rune of rage because the raw power stat makes pack better to go along with 6% crit chance then add a stack of might+fury.

The downtime on Rage is 15 seconds the down time on Pack is 10 seconds this is with no boon duration consideration.

Pack is actually better then rune of strength if all you can build is 3-4 stacks of might. If you proc the fury that rune gives you 525 precision for 10 seconds that is more then 7% extra damage.

Ah man, I just tried out runes of the pack and it’s opening up a lot of new ideas. Good stuff there!

It actually inspired me to dig back into a PvP variant of my boonshare build, yesterday I was testing 2/4/6/2/0 with Sword/Focus – Staff. Runes of the Pack work really nicely with Temporal Curtain(Focus), Chaos Storm(Staff) Bountiful Interruption and Vigorous Revelation

Comment about Intelligence Sigil: if u pair it up with Air or Fire sigil the air/fire proc will consume 1 charge as Lightning Strike/Fire Blast is treated as a separate attack.
Silly me using those sigils with my Mantra of Pain 3-charge combo.
