Upgraded Remorseless refreshes Opening Strike when you gain fury

Now, the Rune of Evasion has EXCELLENT potential synergy; You gain Swift and Fury on dodge, which would refresh Opening Strike, the only problem though is that the 6th rune bonus deals direct damage so my suggestion to Arena.net is

Could it be possible to proc the crippling attack from 6th bonus JUST BEFORE the Fury proc? alternatively, remove the direct damage component entirely?

That way, Opening Strike would’nt be wasted on the direct damage from the 6th bonus cripple effect. I understand a quick workaround would be to limit the runes to 5 but cripple on dodge is a pretty solid effect still.

um…why would they change the rune just for your class…this is a rune for general classes…

Optimise Class-specific Synergy

They kinda did that indirectly with thief traps, they removed the direct damage component so it doesnt break stealth; Rune of the Trapper has even better synergy

Yeah, I think it would be a good synergy, assuming you don’t proc the crippling attack on it. I was actually talking about this rune when the last trait review came out. I think even with the crippling attack taking the proc, it is still a decent rune for a remorseless build, because you won’t necessarily hit with the cripple. But, I think I am liking the synergy between Sup rune of Altruism, Resounding Timbre and “HaO” better. Evasion would be a good one for a more offensive build imo.

Oh I absolutely love Of Altruism for shoutrangers. Between that one for more support and Of the Pack for perma team swift, shoutbow rangers are getting really interesting. I still hoped for some additionnal effects from Ranger Shouts but I guess it’s alright.

“Protect Me!” over Signet of Stone for the stun break and lower CD sounds interesting, and with the vit and tough buffs for pets, it could be viable without instantly killing the pet
