Guild Wars 2

I am currently interested again in power builds after using a tank build and later a condition build. My question is, what runes do you use and which ones would you use on a crit power build?

Thanks in advance

Strength (30% chance on crit to apply might), Frailty (30% chance on crit to apply vulnerability), Purity (60% chance on crit to remove a condition). Usually run axe/focus/staff or axe/dagger/staff – this is mainly for running with buddies in WvW or hitting dungeons, I can stack so much vulnerability and might in my build, it’s nuts.

Divinity would be my first choice. +10 to all stats + Crit damage.

Scholar maybe after that, as it gives Power and Crit damage.

i would go for scholar, 8% crit damage and 165 power

I’m specced more for crit first and power second, but I use 5 runes of the eagle one 1 rune of rage for max precision and crit damage. With DS frenzy (up almost constantly) I’m at ~84% crit and ~111% crit damage.

that looks pretty interesting.what sigils you use?

Thanks for your input. Especially Deistik’s setup sounds nice. I haven’t thought of that yet

I’m rocking a pure powerbuild atm. I’m using dagger/dagger and axe/warhorn. I got on both sets a sigil of air and a sigil of force. On my armor I’m using 4x runes of Divinity and 2x scholar. For my amulet I’m using berserker with a berserker jewel. My axe 2 hits for about 6k and my lifeblast hits for 3-4k above 50%.

Or you could be an engi and stack 25 stacks of aoe vuln in about 5 seconds and lots of aoe might as well.

Or I could play a necro.

Crit build myself, but my armour is crit/power while enchants are favoring crit/crit damage.

Since im 59, for now, i run 4 eagle, two ranger.
Double dagger: Major Perception, Major Strength
Staff: Major Fire
All acc is crit/crit damage oriented, minoring in strength and vit (former more so than the latter, i plan on going 30 blood line so i have hp to spare.)

Stats so far:
1500 attack
48% crit
38% crit damage.

Although i expect a major jump come 60. Deciding between full eagle, full rage or Full divinity.

Although Lyssa looks interesting i dont know if Vampiric traits count as heals, even the regen. If it does than Lyssa will probably jump to the top of the list of possibilities.

I thought % to crit was wasted after it reached 50%? I must of misunderstood.
