Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if rage rune’s would be good to replace Strength runes as those are too expensive at the moment, what do you guys think?

Depends, Rage increases fury uptime, if you already have a high fury uptime their effect is limited and probably not so useful. Strength runes get stronger the more might you generate, at about 8-10 stacks without the runes, their effect starts to surpass Rage runes – as a rough estimate.

I think rage runes are great. I’m leaning towards using them on my S/D build but still haven’t decided. +35% fury uptime, plus a chance to proc it for 15! seconds every 30 give you in total a lot more time spent with +20% crit chance. My cirt chance with S/d is only in the 30s so that’s why I might use these.

I wouldn’t recommend rage if you already have around 50% crit chance (diminishing return on additional crit relative to power the higher you go) bu if you’re under 40% and using bountiful theft, I think they’re a great set
