Guild Wars 2

Any ideas on this? I’m running soldiers currently and it works fine, but it seems like the reduced condition duration coupled with soup would make it almost OP.

I started with Melandru, tried others, now i’m back to Melandru. I haven’t tried soldiers specifically though. Unless you have a lot of condition control elsewhere in your build, these are about all you’ll need.

edit: Solely a WvW perspective. Not sure what game mode you’re looking for.

Soldiers is more of a group support, you are clearing conditions for others as well as yourself. Melandru/Hoelbrak is more of a “selfish” rune cause it only helps you. What you use is entirely up to your gorup comp, but I think Guards are better shout cleansers.

Soldier is old meta, melandru is current. As soon as you clear condi with your shout it gets reapplied…useless.

My first set was with soldier rune. I stayed with it for awhile then tried melandru. I liked melandru, but eventually I returned to soldiers. Now I’m contemplating having two armors with these different runes because it seems from time to time that I’d change these runes to break the grind.
