Rune of the Eagle or Ranger

[Zoid.2568]

I looked at both runes and the eagle rune with 125 Ferocity does 8.3% crit damage. Ranger does 7% while I have a companion. Eagle also does 10% more dmg while enemy is below 50% HP.Keep in mind that I am a core ranger and I have 100% crit chance.

Rune of the Eagle125 ferocity = 8.3% crit damage10% damage while enemy is below 50% hP.

Rune of the Ranger7% damage while active companion.

So for the first 50% of the fight I do 1.3% more damage and after 50% of the fight I do 11.3% more damage. With Eagle rune.

Rune of the Eagle wins, right?

Edit: I don't understand why the ranger rune is so much more expensive if the damage output of the eagle run is so much greater. Makes no sense at all.

I think it's because you can craft rune of druid and Slb using ranger rune.

Ok, must be that then. Thank you for the answer.

Always chose the runes or sigils that have the highest uptime. Averaging will do better than min/maxing in most scenarios unless you're aiming purely for high-end content such as raids in which min/maxing is required to participate.

In this case Rune of the Ranger is the better choice. Rune of the Eagle only averages out to 6.3% and is more conditional.You could do the math yourself, (1.3 x 0.5) + (11.3 x 0.5) = 6.3

The 125 ferocity which is 8.3 % is still better than 7%. The 10% at 50% HP is only a bonus. Rune of the Eagle is the better choice.

It's 1.3 x 1 as the 8.3% have 100% uptime. The 10% however is 10 x 0.5. Which makes Rune of the Eagle 6.3% stronger than Rune of the Ranger.

I guess I misunderstood what you were trying to say.. I was busy and couldn't look into it properly only go by what you listed.

Have you looked in scholar runes?

[Teratus.2859]

Depends on whether you want a static 7% damage increase or if you want a 10% damage increase but only against enemies under 50% hp.

The big deciding factor is that Eagle gives 125 ferocity where as Ranger does not.. if you're playing a really high crit Ranger build then Eagle is blatantly better becasue of the bonus ferocity.Imo Ranger should also get this 125 ferocity boost.

Scholar is best for raiding.

Or for an opening burst where you can down someone with one skill.
