Couple questions...(health, weapons)

Well...first off, I see people saying like WTB perfect 20/20 weapon or a 10/10 upgreade or something....just wondering what that means.

Secondly, I have a warrior, a monk, a ele, and a necro. I heard that for ele's/monk/necro/ect. (ones who dont fight up close) you should consider buying a Superior Rune of _____ and get your main skill to 16 and that the extra points will far outweigh the health reduction.

(Necro) Well, I :had: a bone staff that has some nice health upgrades....combined with a rune of maj. vigor I picked up awhile ago, my health was around 560ish. Since then, I switched to a truncheon and energy item for more energy, at the expense of one energy pip and ~40 health. (Well of power makes up for that pip). The more I think about it, the more I think that a superiour rune on any of my chars will just kill their health and they'll die easier. If I add to my necro, I'm looking at ~445 health. Seems a bit low for me. And figuiring that my ele/monk will have even less health (not paying thousands more for major vigs...only minors) theyd have more like 425 health.

A) is that bad (health non-bonus)
B) should I really consider it
C) If I do, will those few extra health in major vigors be truly beneficial?

Thanks for any replies. On a side note, I know this was probably asked before, but since I have a thread and its not quite clear to me...Whats a good elem type for elems? I don't really want to be Earth since I like attacking. Fire ele's seem to be beat down into the dirt (although dmg is good). Water seems good for slowing down, which could be good. Air is good for armour penetration, but...you only hit one target usually. Exhaustion is another issue. My secondary is Mesmer, which I think will kick :beep:. Ive already decided to put 12 in energy storage, 12-16 in my main magic, and the rest into Inspiration (for all that extra energy). Also wondering...I use minors for all my chars, would you recommend I use a minor to get the Energy Storage (or something of the like) to GET it to 12, or use to get it to 13? Those extra points could be put in something else. God, so many questions...so little time. Sorry my all my posts tend to be long, I like to add all the info .

i didnt read ur post cuz its too long sorry no one posted on this for you i just felt bad and wanted to get u excited that someone posted sorry its nothing special, ever heard of summarization

o and im real sick of ppl commenting about my grammar spelling and what i post if u dont like what i say shove it.

I really dont mind peoples grammer. If you can make it out, fine by me. I've no problem with yours. But I didn't really like the attitude you gave me at the end....I never complained about spelling and stuff, so I don't see how that makes me seem bad? When I read your posts during my travels through the forums, I thought you were a nice person...but....yeah....

Edit: Brother, I understand a little better. Sorry for jumping to a too-early conclusion.

I wouldnt worry so much about people commenting, more the mods commenting since it is this forums guidelines.

Bash, go ahead and get a superior rune for your class, but only if you get at least a major vigor rune (there is only a 10 hit point diffrence between the superior and major vigor runes)

About which way to go with an Ele. Most people seem to say fire for PvE and Air for PvP, but in the end it is up to what you like to play and what works for you

For the necro I think you should go for the Sup because with the necro you can steal hp and stuff so you can still do good without the hp you lost.

As for the elem, I think fire for PvE but Water for PvP. With water you can slow people down so when they run away (which they do ALOT) you can still kill them.

Bash i wasnt talking to u at all i appreciate ur attitude towards me but some ppl are being real jack asses towards me lately and i just post that as my signature kind of cuz its getting soooo anoying, thank you for not beign one of those ppl i wasnt giving u attitude im just a little mad at everyone on this forum right now. so if i came across rude im sorry other ppl effect me into being angry.

My monk has 396 health total, and my elementalist might have the same or around 425. I've never had a problem because of the low health. The key is to find ways to avoid or reduce the amount of damage done to you. Utilize your skills, the map layouts and your party members' locations to the best of your ability.
