Curse

I'm just curious how people like to set various rune on their armor on their various characters. The headpiece is (usually) obvious...but what are you wearing? (As runes on your armor, that is).

Are you mostly a radiant insignia person? mostly a vitae / survivor insignia? Windwalker on your cute lil dervie? Are you carrying three different sets of armor, set up with three different insignias?

Personally, I'm a fan of the radiant: My ranger's set with four radiants (I think) to bring her energy to 33, so I can freely spam the 5-energy interrupts and burning arrow and so on. A +5e bow is usually good for two more shots, too.
I couldn't resist the irony of putting a superior marksmanship rune on my Asuran Spectacles.

My rit is actually wearing a survivor insignia on the chest and radiant everywhere else. Energy's never been a problem with all the item spells that the rit has.

My paragon and mesmer were both (failed) survivor attempts, and I did rune them heavily with Survivor insignias and vitae runes where I could fit them.

And my necro....well, he's just a mess. First ever character, first ever max armor, and I had NO idea what I was doing, so he's got weird stuff all over.

So, share away. I'm curious (and always looking to borrow ideas).

My Stonefist Ironfist Gauntlets make me chuckle.

I always use Radiant for casters, superior/minor rune on the helm (depending on attribute of the helm), vigor on chest, and minor attribute on gloves (e-storage, soul reaping, etc.)

Havent bothered changing the hydromancer insignias off my 15k hydromancers armour that I got 2 years ago ^^

A hoody and some pants..oh wait.

Nearly everyone of my characters uses Radiant cause I don't need anything better in PvE.

Radiant on chest, survivor on rest.

Survivor on all my characters, one bloodstained on my necro and one stonefist on my warrior.

Energy management > More energy.

Vigor, major or minor main attribute, and more minors for whatever other attributes I'm running, and the rest are survivor/armor combos. I have one set of radiant on my warrior, two radiant sets on my sin [of five sets D:], my ele has armor of whatever element she's playing with survivor, and my necro has one set of MM armor.

Only my monk, MM armor, and certain sin headpieces I have carry superior. Because of reading certain posts on Guru, it now really bothers me to have health below 500 on my casters or 550 on my physical damagers.

My heroes get attunement because they lack the ability to have management.

Trochaic Pentameter, I think.

My monk usually wears all Survivor. Sometimes though I'll wear Radiant on just the chest piece as someone noted above. Usually the +energy isnt necessary, or at least isnt as helpful as simply being smart about energy management and having the extra hp. I then have superior vigor, minors on what I'm running and vitae. Occasionally a major or superior rune, but its not that often. I dont encounter problems this way.

I have several weapon set swaps available as well though to cover an emergency energy need and an emergency health need, in addition to an optional slot (bow to pull if I am H/H, energy denial defense if PvP) and the standard set.
