Guild Wars 2

I realize rune sets are getting swapped around here soon. However iv been running travlers for a few months now and am gonna revamp my character, as I like to switch it up every so often.

The set would be used for wvw roaming, currently I’m all zerk with travelers and will be moving to a more balanced build modeled off some the “building a better d/d” math. It uses divinity but say after the 15th they get hit to hard, what else are you d/d and d/p power thief running when you roam and why?

With a 0/30/30/10/0 build zerk weapons/trinkets, full soldiers armor, and ruby orbs. This will get you 2100 power, 15.5k health, 2500 armor, 52% crit chance, and 96% crit dmg

Really? I was gonna play with a calculator after work tonight that would be a good base to work from ty. I really want a more balanced build six months full glass was fun but sucks taking half your health a hit.

Just wait until the patch. We’ve only seen 5 of…what?….30 different Rune sets?

With burst damage going down you might actually find yourself “durable enough” even with your current Berserker gear.

And the nice thing about Traveler Runes is that they free up a trait or ability slot. And that’s something you have to consider. Without any sort of run-speed increase positioning is too difficult.

Runes of Strength with 0/30/30/10/0 works really well. Only downside (obviously) is running slow.

I just couldn’t change my Travelers Runes. Thief strength are stealth and mobility. You need movement speed to get behind these players for a good backstab. A lot of possibility of gear distribution for that kind of build. Just min-max you own stuff depending on what you want to reach and how much you want to pay.

Here’s my thoughts on the speed boost, I accidentally traited assassin’s retreat a day or so ago. I didn’t notice till I ran for the first camp with 2+ min swiftness (from stacking bloodlust) get to the camp cap it and repeat. I decided to run it just to test how often I can keep it up as a test. 2 hrs in I still nearly always have a it up think it dropped once or twice briefly. So I figure if I can do that I can get a rune set more specific to my needs.

I love trav runes but I was also solo roaming at the time of purchase and it was just for the 25% perk. Now that I run in 3 to 5 man groups, assassin’s retreat shines. If it’s not what I thought then ill just switch back no biggy. So is it utility you look for in runes like speed boosts and such or raw stat #s I guess is what I’m asking more specifically.
