Abyssuz.9208 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) - Stats removed from runes and moved to new ascended gems, craftable with 500 jewelcrafting. (or just use existing gems) Also possibility for stat swap legendary gems. - Runes only give the effect/bonus of the current full set. - 2 rune slots added, enables interesting combos, not sure what to do with current legendary runes. - Runes need to be balanced/reworked for 2 slots Adding new runes and updating existing would be faster when you don't have to think about stats. This would also remove helm/breather rune swap which casuals may not know about.

Striking a boonless foe with a stealth attack inflicts fear on nearby foes. -> Spellbreaker: You deal 7% more damage to foes that have no boons.

And the runes don't have to work together. The purpose is that the user can choose what he wants to add to the build. Doesn't mean that the current effects and their numbers are good even though they are in the examples. Some of the current runes should be nerfed / changed anyway, such as the ones that generate boons while in combat.

Gehenna.3625 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 inb4 "No" tbh though I don't really get where you're going with this and what problem it would solve and the idea about adding rune slots will only cause more imbalances than the game has now. Personally I don't know what's so confusing about the breather rune swap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahne.6950 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 hes probably coming from other games, where you can slot Runes into accessorys, so you can actually have 2 complete runesets. It gives you room to create interesting builds, but it its powercreep at its finest. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilZombie.6801 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Would love to see rune in accessories too been 10 year running 2 runes giving you more bonus would be cool but no stacking same rune Rune of speed + centaur haha nice combo Edited November 7, 2022 by EvilZombie.6801 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 You lost me at "not sure what to do with current legendary runes." They are quite an investment and have to be included in any rune rework considerations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Going to ask the most obvious question: Which two rune-sets do you want to have in your current build and why do you think this would be a good idea? I'm not interested in even more powercreep. The breather-rune problem is imo not worth the additional trouble.

You also didn't even consider the effect on exotic items or below and while ascended and legendary is the bis gear to go for, many players are running exotics on many builds. 7 hours ago, Abyssuz.9208 said: - Runes only give the effect/bonus of the current full set. - 2 rune slots added, enables interesting combos, not sure what to do with current legendary runes. Not sure what to do is no acceptable answer. It merely shows you didn't consider your own idea worth enough time to come up with a solution to the issue. If you aren't convinced of your idea, why should others be? 7 hours ago, Abyssuz.9208 said: - Runes need to be balanced/reworked for 2 slots Adding new runes and updating existing would be faster when you don't have to think about stats. This would also remove helm/breather rune swap which casuals may not know about. The stats on runes is hardly the reason they see low development cycles. In fact the stats are probably the easiest and fastest factor to consider. The individual bonuses are most likely the main crux of the development and your idea doesn't change that. On the contrary, being able to combine the final bonus makes developing further bonuses even more difficult.

Veprovina.4876 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Ok but... What's wrong with the current system? What problem are you trying to fix with the rework? Why would we need a rework, what's so benificial or better on it that the current system doesn't provide? So far all i'm reading is "huge amount of balancing and coding work for not much gain"... It's more complex for the sake of complexity. So for me: 14 minutes ago, lokh.2695 said: I'd rather have ANet spend resources on something else.

If breather is a problem, the change should be consisting of removing rune slot from it (and then the helmet rune would be also used underwater) or removing the breather altogether while maybe leaving it as a skin slot for underwater. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
