Giver’s Exalted coat giver you 101 Health, 72 Armor and 1% boon duration…….
The problem is that in the trait system 1% boon duration is equal to 10 points in any stat. But here they are saying 1% boon duration is equal to 70 points of any other stat.

How could someone mess this up seriously????

its mainly for cosmetics… not stats

as is pretty much everything else. considering stats just help you out. they dont determine success

It has the same icon as all the other crafted exotics so odds are its the same skin..

@ OP, think outside of the box, this isn’t a trinity game, I can think of 3 classes off the top of my head that the armor would be useful for….

OP is not saying that it is useless. (Ok ya he did in the title but I don’t think that’s what he meant entirelly) He is saying that the 1% boon duration is disproportionate. I think he’s saying that it should be a little more then 1%. Even though Anet has made it clear how they want to balance in baby steps, I can see OP’s point here.

On the other hand, gear that gives crit damage tends to only come in 1%‘s too, so maybe that’s what they were thinking at the time.

The problem is that lets say for the set you are giving away about 250 points of stats for 6% boon duration. Triple that boon duration you can get by getting two runes of monk which give you 15%. So why would any sane person sacrifice all those stats for that little increase in boon?

Anet should follow the formula in their trait system. 10 points in stats should equal 1% in duration of anything.
