Goal:
Open world PVE
Occasional dungeons

Ruby orbs:
120 power
12% crit damage
84 precision

Boon duration:
Full uptime of 175 might + fury + permaswiftness on signet of rage
Can go axe / mace + GS for max DPS without warhorn swap

Scholars:
Don’t think I can keep health above 90% consistently

So far boon duration looks like its the best option by far. Thoughts anyone?

I think you lose too much personal DPS by choosing boon duration runes, but for solo PVE that’s a choice you can make. Ogre runes are another solid choice.

Looking back on this topic it is pretty obvious that +45% boon duration > ruby orbs for sustained dps (perma might with higher stacks + fury) and mobility…

It’s too bad rune mixing is getting nerfed

But running with orbs you get higher power, precision, crit damage, you don’t need the higher might/fury up time for your DPS. I’d have to sit down and do the math but I think ruby orbs might be the better choice.

I disagree. Warriors already have perma fury. warriors already have plenty of mobility. So that leaves us with might stacking as your basis of conclusion. Might doesn’t give 12% crit power, 12% is actually very significant. I will assume you are pairing this with a traited greatsword to get might stacks? Each might stack is 5 seconds 45% of 5 seconds is 2 seconds. You would be giving up a lot for 2 extra seconds of might. Warrior already has signet of rage and for great justice. That give almost perma fury and 8 stacks of might. If you want more boon duration throw down compassionate banner.
