Guild Wars 2

Hi, a guildmate asked something in guild tchat and we were not able to give him an affirmation.
if you have 25 stacks of might, and someone or even you using skill that provide might again, is this one useless, or refreshing the might who will go out of duration ?

Btw, I’m not talking only about might, other stacking buff/cond would work for this question I think.

No clue if new information has been released, but the wiki http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stack says this:

Currently no information on how stacks are dropped when extras occur.

Rofl, I’ve read the wiki two times before posting, must be blind >_>
Thanks

On my War, when using For Great Justice or on my Guard when using Empower or the virtues, the stacks of might already at 25 tends to tick again to the max duration, so i assume everything that gives might resets the duration of a 25 stack.

Extra might after reaching 25 is redundant because you could’ve brought something else. The other reason is, if the original 25 stacks were from blasted combo field, they would last 20sec each.
Imagine someone coming along and overwriting those stacks with 5sec ones.
But it totally depends on the situation. Can you kill the boss during those 20sec? What is the duration of the original 25 stacks?

Regen and retribution are pretty useless in pve, vigor if you need/want that extra endurance. Fury and stability (situational) are absolutely great. Aegis should be used to avoid that big hit, kinda useless to have more duration. Prot is more useful in high fractals, in dungeons it is rarely needed.

It resets to max duration because they are replaced.
