Guild Wars 2

http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgQFbALkBrg~ Since the Ice and Grenth builds got already theorycrafted, my friend got me thinking, could it with ele runes and sinister/carrion/rabid/rampager work for pvp?

Stats will be hard to figure out until we can actually play the spec, but Ele runes will definitely be in the running for people who aren’t going LC.

Why would you take extra burning and chill duration when you already have +100%? In the current version of the game condition duration caps at 100%. And they stated that when you go into Reaper Shroud while wielding your scepter, Lingering Curses remains its effect in Reaper Shroud. Or do you think the 100% condition cap will be removed too?

You won’t necessarily be going LC just because you have burning. Terror, hybrid, there could be a number of builds that won’t have it but want burning duration.

I think it’s more likely that Lingering Curse will not actually go live with this rediculous duration increase.

Is it really worth having 20% increase and the stats ele runes give over a rune that increases total condi by 15%?

Probably not, especially when said runes have a 3 second Chill attached to them when you’re struck. And a free interrupt.

Wait what rune has a chill and condi duration?

NM I got it now. The new trait.

Ain’t it funny how these things change how you look at runes and sigils? Sigil of Mischief looks like a decent choice for Condi Reapers, for example.

For Condi Reapers….

Even with Lingering Curses, scepter is going to be a lousy weapon for Reapers, due to it’s poor life force generation.

Staff is looking far more practical, and it will allow you to pick up parasitic contagion, for more survivability.

….and depending on the viability of the Vampiric Aura, blood magic is also an option when using a staff.

Either one of those builds might make good use of the Ele Runes
