Legendary Runes

Good thread. Rune of Grace - I agree this one is pretty odd as it is. 10% chance for an extra party member heal is too random to be worth equipping. Mages are just gonna use heal all if needing to heal multiple people most likely and the chance is too low/unreliable. Should probably rework it to do something else. Maybe chance to apply some sort of short duration DR or MR or Ele resist buff. More support oriented.

I rerolled the Grace one into something else given how lackluster it is

On rune of slayer. Boss damage is pretty strong because they regenerate. 10% seems a bit wild. 2% maybe is too low, but there's some range between 2 & 10 that might make more sense. The gms probably have good data on dps and what that should be.

I thought about that tbh and after some weapon testing, we are looking at 100 more dmg per hp tik at most.

Is that not work a legendary rune?

My main point there was I don’t have any real data to propose what the % really should be. I agree my initial impression of the rune at 2% is meh, I probably won’t bother with this. There’s so many other awesome runes that are less situational that I want.

Plus it’s all damage and not just melee swings right? So how good is it for classes with lots of burst damage? Like my mage can now barely kill certain tough bosses with lots of MR and/or regen like Demon and Lich just before I run out of mana. It’s tight though sometimes. A 10% damage swing rune would widen that range of what’s even possible a lot. 🤷‍♂️

Rune of Slayer +2% dmg to bosses only is negligible. 10% is not wild when you compare it to a lot of the other legendary runes (remember we're only talking about legendary here). We have legendary runes that give 12.5% more HP, chance to double cast at 10%, some super strong legendary runes that make people much stronger. 2% (to bosses only) is more on par with a uncommon rune by comparison.

As of right now it only improving my max roll with claw by 12dmg.

It improves my damage by 1 or 2 per swing on bosses.

Rune of Slayer, 2% dmg to boss -> +2 PvE dmg seems under whelming. When a rare rune (Rune of Honer) is 1dmg 1hit pve+pvp. When considering scalability i personally would expect an Epic rune to be +2dmg +2hit to pve and a Legendary to be +4dmg to boss or pve.
