Hey, iv done alot in the game and know doing alot of PvP but suprisingly havent equiped any runes to my armour yet. I have random ones in my storage and red guild wars wiki. I dont think spenind 75 health for 3 more swordsmanship is worth it and i dont know what runes to buy that would be good for a warrior?

Thanks

Runes:
-Minor swordsmanship
-Minor strength
-Superior vigor
-Clarity
-Vitae

Insignias:
-Survivor
-One stonefist (if you have a knockdown skill, which you should)

For PvP, having more health is important.

So is the -35 health for the +2 swordsmanship worth it?
My helm is swordsmanship btw

You can equip one igsignia and one rune to each part of armour?

Thanks

You could also get shield that prevents blind on you.

The day PvE monsters start getting on vent and coordinating spikes is the day I'll start using minors only. Untill then, I'll stick with using 1 major (or the occasional dual majors....armor swapping is ftw in pve).

If the blind lasted it's full duration, there's something wrong with your team.

You can easily use a superior in PvE, frankly. Keep a headpiece with a minor if DP ever becomes an issue.

Crom The Pale · May 03, 2008, 11:57 AM // 11:57

Major Weapon runes(1 on helm) allow the optimal builds in PvE, though you can use Superior it all depends on how much you trust your monks(ie live/hero/hench).

Optimal point spread: 14 Weapon mastery (11+1helm+2major rune)
11 for shield(10 +1minor rune)
10 for secondary attribute(fire/water/air for conjures ect...)

As for PvP, stick with minor runes.

MasterSasori · May 03, 2008, 05:28 PM // 17:28

Survivor ftw.

Using a superior att rune is fine in PvE but not PvP. You can get away with alot of crap in PvE.

This is for PvP to the OP best ot ask questions like this in Gladiator forum.

Can survivor runes stack?
So i should get 1 major rune for weapon, 1 minor for shield
And ALOT Of Health Ones?
Each piece of armour can contain 1 igsignia and a rune rite

Survivor INSIGNIA stack, vigor runes do not.

The thing with PvE is that nothing really matters. You should run it like Savio posted for optimal efficiency, but I ran a superior for over a year because I couldn't be bothered to go to the rune trader and I was fine. Minors are best.

Health what? 4 Survivor insignia and 1 Vigor rune (the best you can afford, only get one because they don't stack)

Yes.

Read Me.

i use.. sup absorbtion sup vigor minor weapon for each type on its corresponding helm and minor tactic and sctrnth ( each on its helm)

then i have 2 sets one is sentinels heald to toe and the other is knights head to toe and equip the appropriat weapns sets that provide the extra armour i will need for each area i will be in.
i dont crank health i personaly like running wtih 120+ armour and not over extend too far from my monk unless i can survive on my own

Well, that's basically good advice, but a couple of comments:

1. If you're going to have a For Great Justice/Dragonslash build, you'll need 14 swordsmanship. You can certainly do that with a +1 helm and a minor rune of swordsmanship, but if you want more than 13 strength too, you'll have to sneak a major rune in there somewhere.

2. No one is mentioning the Brawler's Insignias? Those are pretty handy for a warrior. Of course Stonefist is great for knockdowns, and of course Survivor is helpful, especially on the chest. But I'm not so sure about FOUR Survivor Insignias. There's diminishing returns there.

3. Vitae is good, but I kinda like the absorption runes better. Doesn't make a big difference.
