Guild Wars 2

After rolling – and re-rolling EVERY class several times (couldn’t decide) I’ve been focusing on my Mesmer, and hit lvl 60 (currently lvl 64). Up until now runes haven’t been that big of a concern to me, just buying whatever I felt like using, but Superior runes is a whole other story…

At BLTP the superior runes I want for my Mesmer are like 1 – 3 gold (pr piece), and because i only play for the fun (soft core all the way) – I dont have enough gold to try out every rune before making my decision! I know there are alot of threads concerning this matter, but after several attempts of browsing the forums/wiki/reddit im still nowhere close to making my decision.

Therefor I would deeply appreciate feedback from you guys helping me to choose runes!

I really like seeing high crit-numbers pop up on the screen (don´t we all?) so I have been considering:

(Opt 1)
Superior Rune of the Ranger

+25 Precision +3% Critical damage +50 Precision +5% Critical damage +90 Precision

The last runeslot i´ll put on a:

Superior Rune of Divinity

+10 to all stats and 2% increased critical damage.

(Opt 2)
Superior Rune of the Eagle

+25 Precision +3% Critical damage +50 Precision +5% Critical damage +90 Precision

+5% vs targets with less than 50% health.

Is this viable? If not what type of superior runes are?

Thank you in advance – and have fun playing!

Try them out in the heart of the mists first. I really like Runes of Lyssa, but just run orbs in pve b/c they’re so cheap.

What do you mean run orbs in pve? Is there some other way to get some of these ridiculously priced runes?

Tier 6 gemstones. They just have stats, no special effects like runes. But it’s a good amount of stats and they are only a few silver each.

use ruby orbs, best option for glass cannon builds.

I wouldn’t get superior runes till lvl 80.

Ruby, Beryl, and Divinity are the best if you’re simply going for critical damage. (Ruby and Beryl are Orbs.)

Scholar and Air are also quite nice, but most people tend to run Centaur for the swiftness.

So rune of the eagle is not worth the 4.75 GOLD!!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAAAT!?!? Gonna check out Ruby and Beryl for now anyways though! Thanks for the help my fellow mesmers.

Eagle is better then ranger, the #6 piece bonus on ranger rune doesn’t effect mesmers.
