The reason I ask is because I am curretly only have 1x sup rune, but thinking to get a Major rune which will further reduce 50HP.

Wondering if any of you have gone for this set up and how comfortable it is.

I use a sup marks rune with a major expertise rune on my ranger. My health is generally 396, but it comes to 426 when I use one of my bows with a fortitude mod.

I have 2 sup on my ranger: Vigor and Marksmanship. So I have a HPP (HP penality) with. But I dont really care.

Total HP: 455 or 485 if I use my bow with fortitude +30

I often use a Superior/Major rune combo. This works especially well in PvE where the ranger has great armor but is in the back lines remaining untouched.

When I do it, I tend to have the Major rune match my head gear and the Superior on its own, so that I get two +3's out of my gear, but that's just a personal preference.

I like to have Beast/Expertise or Beast/Marks for my duo rune set-up, but then I've always seemed to use more Beastmastery than most.

Oh yea, I use a major vigor rune for health since I'm too cheap to spend the money on get the 9 extra health.

In PvP, 485 or 455 is the standard health-that's one Superior Rune(discounting Sup Vigor) and a weapon with or without a Fortitude upgrade.

Valerius · Feb 19, 2006, 04:02 PM // 16:02

i'm PvP... i usually never use more then one superior... i have 455 HP since i prefer Armor +5 grips

romeo_longsword · Feb 19, 2006, 10:03 PM // 22:03

How does it work out that, having +5 in armour is better then having 30 HP?

Damage Prevented > Addtional Health

I'll find the post about it later (it's buryed somewhere) where they crunched the numbers...but it came down to the +30 health lasting only the intial attack(s) where +5 defense continued to be a benefit past the initial attacks. But as it was pointed out +5 armor does nothing for Degen.

I started out with an armor +5 grip, but found that since I evade most physical attacks and since most non-physical attacks used are either degen or armor negating attacks, the fortitude mod comes in handy. I say this of course only for my build and style of play.

-Major Expertise (-50hp)
-Major Vigor (why pay 30k more for 9hp?)(+41hp)
-30+hp Grip on most of my bows (+30hp)

So I got 501hp : )

Yakumo · Feb 20, 2006, 01:32 PM // 13:32

471... Major rune of WS and Major Vigor.

I don't use fortitude mods as I much prefer the armor bow grips. To counter degen, I just use Troll Urgent (fingers crossed that it doesn't get interrupted).

[email protected] · Feb 23, 2006, 06:06 AM // 06:06

i have a minor rune of vigor and then i use elswyths longbow so i have 540 health while useing the bow other wise normal 510 which helps alot

Eldin · Feb 24, 2006, 02:07 AM // 02:07

385. Minor vigor, sup marksmanship, major wildy survival, minor expertise (or were expertise and wildy the other way around)...yeah I'm one of those well-rounded rangers, trapper or marksman/interrupt. I keep telling myself to go buy that major vig until I have enough money for sup, but I continue to forget.

koneko · Feb 24, 2006, 02:14 AM // 02:14

485 here.

I'm debating whether or not my ranger can survive with 410 so I can use a Superior Expertise rune to boost that attribute up to 13.

lord_shar · Feb 24, 2006, 03:06 AM // 03:06

521 hit points at the moment...

Cherno · Feb 24, 2006, 07:01 PM // 19:01

Not sure of the exact number, but I have one headpiece for Marks, WS and BM and the appropriate superior on each on. Then I have a Superior Vigor on the chest of my two sets of armor and Superior Expertiese on each set also.

This is the pretty standard setup I use for all my charcters except monk and sometimes warrior (switch armor to only have Superior Tactics or Strength on the helms)
