Guild Wars 2

So like most Thieves I play a Dagger/Pistol in WvW, occasionally switching to D/D whenever I get annoyed at Heartseeking into some random mob while stealthing.

I used to run with runes of the Scholar for obvious reasons but eventually acknowledged that I spent fairly little time above 90% HP and thus the bonus probably wasn’t paying off.

So I switched to Runes of the Ogre. And while the Pet does a decent amount of damage and spawns frequently enough, it also reveals my location when I stealth and is itself a viable target for Cloak and Dagger which really hurts in duels. It also isn’t all that effective in PvP situations with all the mobility and AoE going on.

So I am looking for alternatives. I’d much prefer Power-Runes because I run a Valkyrie build with high HP and Crit-Damage, but low Crit-Chance. That’s also what makes the Runes of Divinity less appealing.

The same question is extended to buff food. I’ve generally been a fan of Omnomberry Pies/Ghosts because they really do heal for quite a bit, especially during Daggerstorm. Getting healed for roughly 350 every few seconds is good in combat.

But maybe there are better choices I haven’t considered.

Title is wrong.

For me I run Runes of the Traveler for the free utility slot, Plate of Truffle Steak for more power & precision, and Sup Sharp Stones for more power as well. My main weapon set is d/d + sb, but i carry an extra d/p with me to swap out the sb with if needed.

I am a big fan of runes of the traveler otherwise i just run orbs.

high vitality doesen’t work very well with omnombery pies, i’l sugest to trade some hp with armor
for runes –
traveler – low raw stats , good utility
beryl orbs – good raw stats
Lyssa – if you use basilik vennom
