Guild Wars 2

Looks like i wasted 20 gold. So should I replace my last scholar on my boots with a ruby orb?

Whats wrong with extra damage?

I run full scholars in wvw and spvp. I love the 10% increased damage. I am usually above 90% before every stealth attack and with d/p blind field it’s easy to stay up there.

Replacing it with a Divinity rune will give you maximum damage in sPvP, but I’m not sure if that’s better than a Ruby Orb in WvW… tbh, I’ve never really understood why people don’t just go for Ruby Orbs x6…

I’m barely at 50% health when solo roaming in WvW. Guess i’m just not that good. Does it make sense to go 5 scholar/one ruby?

At that price tag, buy new boots and disassemble the old ones.

Stick with 6 scholar. You’re only going to get better at this game the more you play so wearing scholar gear is just added incentive to get better.

I went with 6 divinity, but thanks for the help.

Use this as your food and scholars will be there when you are at full health.

It is better than the passive on the Assassin Signet when it activates below 50% health.

I think I worked out it is about 5.7 stacks of might when below 50%.

If I wasn’t a total cheapo I’d get scholar runes – but I would only want them because of the 6th bonus
