Guild Wars 2

+5% boon duration gear:
A suffix with +1% boon duration and some healer stats is one of the available choices for MAX-stats (end-game) exotic gear… which, after rounding, increases boon duration by …in most cases 0 seconds! For PVE 5% may be more appropriate (since a maximum of +70% would not be unbalanced in comparison to say.. knights- or berserk- gear). Also it would be nice to extend the mechanic to stealth for pve, to make roaming more comfortable. It would be desirable to have at least some way to get 100% up time for stability and stealth in PVE. If implemented im pretty sure people would like more stat combinations with it as well. Thanks!

It’s a good idea to buff them all to at least 1%.

I would also add that I think Anet should consider changing boon duration to have more positive effects.

For example, boon duration also increases the duration of Auras and “self-boons” like Elementalists Rock Barrier. Perhaps only by 50% of boon duration rather than 100%.

then just don’t use giver’s. on my mes, without giver’s anything, I can top out at 80% (90% with Sig of Midnight equipped). 300 chaos, 2 sup. water runes, 2 major water runes, and 2 sup. monk runs. Any profession can do this with proper traits and rune application. There aren’t even any 1%’s to deal with.
