Red runekeeper

Introduction

Red RK’s provide great sustained high DPS via long-range, induction-based attacks that deal damage-over-time.

Using their strong self-heals to stay alive in time of need they are able to provide the group with a great utility named Do Not Fall This Day (DNF). With the Do Not Fall This Day Cooldown tracery you are able to have 2 DNFs up at the same time, allowing you to revive up to 2 players every 5 minutes.

Red Rune-Keepers are also able to debuff the enemy’s defenses whilst they attack their target. Making your enemy more vulnerable to your attacks and that of your group. Decreasing their armour rating by 15% for 8 seconds on every Fire skill hit (Molten Flame) and having 30% chance per attack to apply a +5% incoming damage debuff (Mystifying Flames) that lasts for 20 seconds.

Rune-Keepers have been a strong class for a very long time and while they do not always score the highest DPS during a raid or instance, they are enabling your group by dealing high amounts of damage, debuffing the enemy and being able to prevent key group member from being taken out of the fight.

Stat Goals

Critical Rating-> Tactical Mastery-> (Enough)Finesse -> Tact/Phys Mitigations -> Vitality

After that you should focus on getting your finesse up to at least 25% but it is recommended to get to 30% for higher tier instances, as otherwise a your attacks may be resisted in T3 and higher content.

Once your Finesse target has been met you should focus on slotting Vitality essences and then Tactical Mitigation essences.
