Advice on runes

I've seen quite a few warrior builds calling for different runes. I'm a sword warrior aimed at the generic farm/running builds. what runes should I get? and what should i put in my helmet?

well in farming "generic" and runing i usually have an ascalon helm with 3+ tactics as this doesn't leave you too low on hp and most of my farm builds are tactics based but all warr runes cost like less than 500g except of course absorb but ascalon helm with 3+ tactics is good because u get dmg reduction too and in my opinion it looks the best.
For hard runs You might consider a Lts helm from henge of denravi i think is where you get it, it reduces hex length.

Here is my griffon farming build if it helps at all:

uses sword

gladiators defence (e)-get it from last mission in the desert
bonettis defence
riposte
deadly riposte
heal signet
mending
balthazars spirit
healing breeze

the stratergie is to first cast the two enchantments.
In the fight keep the stances on at all times and when you renew bonettis defence before you do do both ripostes
Allways remeber that bonettis ends when u use a skill.

i use
8 healing
12 tactics(+3+1)
the rest in smite
All it needs is a sword but not needed are the attributes in sword mastery.

The best thing is the skills are all very easy to get.

People still griffion farm? I didn't think it was profitable anymore.

To actualy adress the OP's question, a warrior should have these for runes
Vigor rune (Get the best you can afford)
Absorbsion Rune (Ditto)
Minor Tactics
Minor Strength
Weapon Rune (Minor or Sup depending on what you plan to do)

Some builds might use a sup Tactics or Strength but for general PvE and PvE usage, a minor strength and minor tactics is what you want.

While where you place runes dosn't matter, I'd suggest putting sup weapon runes in a matching hat, since you'll only want a sup axe rune when you've got a +1 axe helm.

all makes sense now thanks guys.
