Guild Wars 2

Im a full soldier MM necro and IM wondering what runes would be good with this.
I figured I should ask the forums because there are some people who love the minion master build and will know more then me.

You know who you are.

Runes of the lich or bust. You’d be surprised how much the jagged horror pops in PvE. (not so much PvP)

runes of traveler/speed if you want use all minions and moving faster then turtle. (not in spvp ofc)

I would go with runes of speed as altho they are expensive they aren’t as expensive as the traveler set. It’s around 15-16g for full set of runes of speed, well thats what I got mine for and prices don’t look to have changed much.

This not only allows you to have decent speed whilst running around, it also means you can have the full army out and not sacrifice a minion or trait for the extra speed.

yea i run 6x traveler runes on my MM necro for like everything i can makes it that much more bearable but if u dont need or want the speed ogre runes are great for MM necros aswell ^^

I’m working on my celestial set and I’m among on braving travelers. For full solders I think speed is better.

Are you in PvE, PvP, or WvW?

I’m assuming PvE, just based on “full soldiers”, in which case it is up to how you play, but the above suggestions are solid enough (I only recently started playing around with minions seriously in PvE, so I don’t have a gear set yet).

Lol I misunderstood what you said and was wondering if there were actually Runes of The Bust.

No No No, thats the 4th slot bonus, THIS (from image 1 to image 2) is the 6th slot bonus!

why not lyssa for the boons and condition clear coupled with the short cooldown of flesh golem?

I run 20/0/30/20/0 for damage mm, power with dagger. if you do that, then use ogre. Its funny to get a rock dog on top of everything else :P

I use runes of the lich. I like having an extra minion pop up.

Lyssa. Being able to use the Golem’s charge as a condi clear or as a full set of boons for a burn is a godsend, and the Blood Fiend giving boons when you pop it doesn’t hurt either.

Ranger runes, if you use the full set, make you hit like a truck. I made a build, 30/0/20/20/0 and my minions took the worst of the damage while I wasted things and healed them while I went. There was another version I made using these runes but i never fully tweaked it running 20/0/20/0/30 utilizing the 50% crit while in DS – and since I wasn’t running siphons they weren’t wasted by me being in DS so much and the minions did my dirty work for me. If I ever fully polish these builds I’ll post them, but in both I ran those ranger runes, and yes the minions do count as a “companion” for the 6th bonus.
