Guild Wars 2

To tired to read it all.. But running similar build.. But imo dont use those runes.. I was looking at runes aswell but those are not worth it since you need to rely so much on luck for protection with them, and you dont have any way of getting protection when you want it, fif you get what im saying.. Rather stack the toughness through some emerald orbs imo, that way you get nice power+precision aswell as high toughness..

I c what you are saying and it makes sense (we can’t apply our own protection), I’ve already invested in these runes so I’m going to run with it for now, I figured even though its a 25% chance on getting protection, it’s 25% on ANY hit (not just crits or whatever) so it is still a pretty good chance. The magnetic aura is nice too for the reduction in damage while getting away from sticky situations.

I think lyssa runes would be your best bet for guaranteed protection and removes all conditions. Allows you to spec a bit more differently if you think you got enough condition removal. Only down side to lyssa runes imo, is that its use is that your signet of rage will be not activated until you feel you want to. So swiftness/might/fury wont be up prior to battle, or you could activate early if u feel you will kill during the 5+ seconds you get the boons for. Or save it for when you need a mass removal of conditions.

Yeah, true that the 25% chance sounds good.. But if you look at it from another perspective its very low up Time on the Boon since its internal CD is 30 sec.. Im still trying to decide on runes myself but having a Hard Time finding anything better then the power precision toughness offered by emerald orbs..
