Okami.7049 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Been working on perfecting my Power Reaper for a long time now, and I think I'm getting close. My big question is this: how 'important' is Scholar or Scrapper's 6 set Passive? Is 7% damage mitigation worth it, and since I'm not running any form of lifesteal is the 10% additional damage above 90% health worth it as well? My OCD makes it hard for me to go with a broken set, but at the same time it seems smart. What do you guys think? Oh and, Trait lines and Utilities and Weapons are not on the table lol I like them so they stay. Just more curious about the broken rune sets thing.

Damage is better than damage mitigation, you can survive better if you kill foes fast enough. If you like Vitality you can try Superior Rune of the Wurm in [your build](http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRUQNBHhF6kGRobTscTwxGgeTsULYQdtAQEIuLWGXjSDhx2ZD-jBCFAB7s/gAHCA+UCeo6PJp8rgnAwa6DA4EAEA4A48m38zDc+5nf+5n31nf+5nf+5nf+5nHA-e), otherwise take the last Scholar rune.

Okami.7049 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 I didn't think about the Wurm Rune, good call. Would you say breaching 3k Power is too much? Or would you value Ferocity over Power? I went Health because I'm running Decimate Defenses so I don't need high Precision and high Toughness makes you a prime target for mobs and bosses. I'm mainly running Corruptor's Fervor for the reduced incoming Condi Damage, though the added Toughness I guess helps a little with the larger health pool when it comes to survivability. My only concern with slotting the last spot with the Scholar Rune is not really having much sustain to keep myself above that 90% health threshold requirement. Or would it be best to think of it as a 'burst' rune set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitali.5039 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 With 100% crit chance and good power is better to stack ferocity. In your build you can have 100% crit chance with a high-stack Superior Sigil of Perception while under fury's effect, versus high vulnerable foes. If you have low crit chance don't follow the ferocity path! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami.7049 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Gotcha. Thanks for the input! I was under the impression breaching 3k Power was going to get me that little oomf I needed but now I have more to think on. Again, thanks for the help bud!
