Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible to implement a boon filter but give it a toggle so it can be turned on/off? Better yet, give it the toggle but also settings to where you can select what boons you want to block. The filter could be set up something like:

Boon Filter On/Off
Block all incoming boons from outside party
Block Swiftness
" Aegis
" Protection
" Retaliation
" Might
" Fury
" Endurance
" Regeneration

I cannot begin to count how many times I would die from over jumping because someone came up behind me and cast swiftness right when I started my jump. It gets so infuriating having to wait for the area to be clear so I can make the jump without getting sling-shotted over the edge.

Disclaimer: I do not want to be able to block every boon, just swiftness; I listed the others for fairness purposes.

I guess jumping puzzles must be more popular on your server / playtime.

The only boon I can see this being necessary for is Swiftness, as you pointed out, because it would screw with movement near cliffs (or jumping puzzles).

I can’t think of any other normal situation where this is relevant.
