Are Divinity runes a good alternative to Scholars on a Berserker armor set? Right now I’m using a full set of Scholar on my Ascended Berserker set and I’d like to give it a bit more viability to use in WvW/PvP as well. I know it won’t be as specialized as true defensive/utility rune sets like Melandru/Lyssa/Soldier’s, but at the same time it won’t cut into my dps as badly for PvE. I’m just wondering how exactly it will change with the Ferocity update because right now Divinity offers an extra +4% crit dmg > Scholars.

divinity is bad, it’s literally less DPS than ruby orbs.

prepatch if you aren’t using scholar the 2nd best DPS is ranger because the 6 bonus is bugged and always is up; post-patch strength runes will also be a good choice (maybe others too)

Nope, unfortunately they’re horrible. Anything that you’d actually gain from it is so negligible that there is absolutely no way it could come close to offsetting how much you reduce your own potential by using them in the first place.
