Guild Wars 2

Hello,
What runes are people using for roaming in wvw. My build switches from shatter to pu using all weapons. Want a basic idea of what the forum thinks is viable. Thanks

I use of Centaur, i’m a cheap guy.
But Travelers are a good any build friendly runes.

I’m also addicted to centaur. But also works best with mantra heal. Permanent swiftness is awesome.

I have been using travelers for a long time, getting bored with them wondering if the loss of speed Is worth the stats gained.

I can’t get myself to swap from Traveler’s, I feel so slow without them. If only we could get a Movement Speed signet to swap in and out from too..

Traveler if we have a small roaming group, Hoelbrak if someone is providing swiftness.

Even when I run Traveler’s, I give myself Swiftness and feel slow without Swifties. Might go back to Centaur soon, but that would mean getting another armorset for my Mesmer… Set#… 10? I also wanted to get an ascended condition set… Almost there with Ascended Chests!

Well that’s for you to decide.

Last weekend I tried a condition build/torment set (well, budget torment set since the runes are more expensive than travelers) and the loss of run speed was… painful. Seriously, I havent felt so crippled and bored since before speed runes was broken and travelers didnt exist. Roaming was out of the question, it took aaaaaaaaageeeees to get anywhere.
In the end I swapped back to my traveler set and ran around with hybrid condition gear, lol.

Basicly for me, not having traveler make the Mesmer unplayable. Speed runes offer mediocre set bonuses, but of course that would work as well.

If you run with mantra heal, centaur runes are decent. But it gets repetetive to always have to pop your heal even when you dont want to. If you manage to fail a rotation in combat or the enemy boon strip you on mantra cooldown, it will feel as if you where just immobilized. Mantra is also a poor roaming heal as its too easy to interrupt the channeling, especially in 1vX combat. Its too bad there are no condition aimed centaur set. Might end up using that (or speed) on my rabid gear anyway, at least the condition build synergize slightly better with mantras than my normal power PU build (which doesnt have purity).

I run focus, so Pack. Waaaaaay better than Centaur.

Real Mesmers don’t run speed though. Ask Anet, we’re meant to be super slow because we’re so hardcore.

Pfft why do we need speed signet when we have a portal that can teleport us 5000 front and back in 10s. I mean a lot of mesmers chose that over condition removals so clearly it’s the most OP skill in this game. *cough *cough

Going forwards is for hipsters anyways. We like going backwards, e.g., Portal, Phase Retreat, nerfs to our profession.
