Guild Wars 2

Can somebody point out why monkrune is being used over druid?

it is manly because of Mender + +10% Outgoing heal effectiveness to allies than in addition to the 10% outgoing on the sigil too makes up for more than the extra healing power 6th slot druid runes give and the boon duration scales the regen durations when a druid is usally using NM too if they are support spec.

so it just Scales much much better when useing Monk runes as the druid heals are lots for Average amounts and benift % outgoings better than the 500 healing power even when you use 3x glyphs you’d have to blow all the cooldowns for 1500 but you’d have to save Asteral form for that combo .

instead of Sustained hp increases the druid runes provide extra Burst healing while in CA form if using more than 2x glyphs + Verdant Etching + Cultivated Synergy makes for a bigger burst , but the after effect is having 10% weaker healing and no spare glyphs for that burst making the druid very Vunrable during it down time.

Monk=Better sustain healing for flexible builds which have 1-2 glyph
druid = better burst healing with more than 2x glyphs

when i did raids i was only a condi-support druid and had one glyph so i used rune of thorns instead but if i did go into a full support role my build Utilities consisted of Protect me , Glyph of Alignment and vipers nest so even then the Druid runes would only Benifit me while using Staff + CA each time off cooldown.

i guess druid runes would be good if every skill is a glyph then you can rotate the glyphs for a perma 1000 healing power in addition to 1050 base healing power set up , that way It would Benift Zealot set ups.

over all its a build choice are you the Main Tank+healer or the Support+damage/condi druid and how often you are healing.

generaly Monk has that extra 10% at all times where as Druid runes is only a Tempory boost .

Simply said?
It scales better and provides better numbers overall.
Rune of the druid has (extremely) low uptime and provides vitality which is a useless stat for PvE.

^ What everyone else said. % modifiers are much better than the healing power bonus after using Glyphs. That and Monk has 15% boon duration instead of Vitality. Helps a lot with spirit boons when traited for Nature’s Vengeance, especially when Herald’s provide their F2 buff.

Hm yes I see now.
