Superior Strength Rune, worth it? - Guild Wars Forums

Norbix · May 15, 2005, 02:43 AM // 02:43

I bought a Superior Strength Rune today, and I'm thinking of using it when I get my best armor. But it has a penatly of -75hp. Is this worth it? Maybe it's worth it if I get vigor runes? All help is appreciated, thanks.

If you are going to be tanking then I feel it isnt worth it. Seventy five hps can go a long way. On the other hand, if you are going to be a dmg dealing warrior primarly then it might be worth it so that it allows you to boost some other attributes a few points higher.

The thinking of most people is that the ONLY time you should use a surperior rune (and you should NEVER use more than one) is when using a surperior Vigor rune as well (or even a major vigor rune is kind of ok).

With surperior runes of vigor and XXX, you will only be losing 25 health, which to MANY, if not all builds, losing 25 health for 3 more skill points is WELL worth it. (35 pt loss with major vigor... still not too bad)

Though I will say that SUperior Vigor runes are NOT easy to find and I think I heard one go on auction and sell for like 15k at least.

I was shocked when I saw those negatives on them, I found a nice major rune of fire magic, but -50hp is a lot for an elementlist. Maybe the negatives are a little too steep?
