2 Sup Runes? HECK NO.

People have problems when the monk says they have ONE sup rune, 2 is just suicide in HA because of Spikes..

The monk, especially the Infuser, and especially with only 6 men now, need all the health they can get.

really, you shoud only take one sup for the magic you are using most so really a sup heal in your case, however if your running infuse, don't take any sups because you want your health to be as high as possible. and also kitting is nesscary in PvP.

BirdMan33 · Oct 09, 2006, 06:08 AM // 06:08

so i should do 1 sup healing minor devine and sup vigor

and then buy the +60 hp staff?

Former Ruling · Oct 09, 2006, 06:10 AM // 06:10

You are Infusing or just WoH?

If you carry Infuse, no Sups.

Zui · Oct 09, 2006, 06:16 AM // 06:16

LOL.

Ok, no dual superiors. Please, just NO! Run only one superior, at maximum. This does not include Superior Vigor, obviously.

Second, Warriors are not Tanks in PvP. They are damage dealers.

Third, I'd reccomend not using full tats... From your avatar that's what you seem to have. Judge's or Shepard's FTW. Both if you're on a PvE, and based on your avatar you are...

you base a lot dont you?

Usually the only sup I use is in DF when I'm booning, and most of the time I don't use that in HA due to spikes. Most of the time though I find that the tradeoff on the attribute points isn't worth the health on a monk.

I wouldn't listen to these kids. Running dual sups is just something that experienced players like to do. The more accustomed you get to playing Tombs the more health you can live without. Currently I run Sup Divine Favor and Healing or Prot and a Major of whatever I didn't have a sup for.

In summary, if you want to get better, you should consider playing like the vets. Stack those superiors!

...That has to be the dumbest post I've seen in weeks. Good job.

I'd suggest that the OP go to the Gladiator's Arena fourm here. Where every single half descent PvP player will tell him never to run dual superiors, because it's a very bad idea 99.999999999999999999% of the time.

when playing PvP, no matter what (HA, GvG, TA, RA,...) i NEVER use sup runes exept vigor and absorption. Other sups take down HP and u need every bit u can get. I also use health armors and when playing a caster or healer often a dual fortitude mod on my staff.

Read your own words and try again. There is a thing called sarcasm in case you forgot.

Sarcasam, for the most part is lost over the internet, incase you forgot. Considering I do not know the poster who you claim was being sarcastic, and had never seen any of his previous posts here, there's no way I could determine if it was, or was not sarcasam.

Quickly skimming through some of his other posts, though, makes me think that he was not being sarcastic with his post, and he was indeed genuine.

ok i did my monk i did a pvp monk he has 600 and more health.
i just healed alone a dual smite group for about 20 round
we got to hoh few times
thx a lot for the help that monk barely dies!

I dont play PVP, but i think runes work the same in PVP as it works in PVE... using more than 1 sup rune of the same kind doesnt help at all. The 2nd rune doesnt raise your attribute points but it does lower your health (-75)... the only reason to do this is when you want low health, like for a 55hp monk.

Not in one single post in this thread does it mention using two of the same rune. He was talking about using two different superior runes...please actually read the thread before posting.

Mmm, ya, superiors + pvp = bad.

Sorry, i seem to have a bad day when it comes to reading :S

I never run sup runes on any character with a few exceptions depending on the build im playing but on a monk i consider any sup a big NO also consider using the +health armor or +vs physical they are much better than tats in PvP. Welcome to PvP monking Birdman, as you can see.. its completely different from PvE monking
