Guild Wars 2

I’ve been pretty much only playing on a set of Knight’s gear with Soldier Runes in it, and I finally got around to picking up a set of Power/Vit/Toughness.

The question I’ve been trying to work though is if I should be keeping Soldier’s runes in the Knights, to compensate for the lack of vitality(the shouts removing conditions is pretty clutch too), or if I should be adding into the strengths of the set and using a more offensive rune setup and running Soldier’s in my PVT gear for a more defense oriented set on that one.

In general pve/WvW I usually just run triple Shouts, dungeons I’ve been running 2 banners and SiO usually, although I’m not sure it’s any better than triple shouts.

I don’t really know what direction I should be heading in here, and am open to any and all opinions on the matter!

If you want a pure tank for dungeons, warriors aren’t the place to look. I’ve found that when I go from full soldier’s runes to power/prec/crit dmg gems(berserker if you like), the difference isn’t all that much.At least I myself don’t notice it as much.
But then again, I can’t say for sure.The best thing to do is to go with a good group(because going with other than that is just self torture) and a semi-glass cannon build.From then on, decide if your tankiness is enough or lacking.Care that this advice may cost you quite the silver from repairs though.
