Guild Wars 2

Because apparently this stat combo that I wanted to make for my Auramancer Tempest doesn’t exist for armour, ascended or legendary gear.

I wanted to make a pure boon-sharing & healing class, and now I can’t. Any reason why you’re locking up this stat combo?

Giver’s armor is crap anyway. The boon duration you pick up from it is completely awful for the stat cost associated with it, and for some reason even though there are now other armors with Concentration (which is to say, boon duration under a different name) they kept Giver’s the same as it always was.

Get Minstrel’s if you want boon duration and healing. You don’t lose nearly as much for it.

I believe giver’s weapons are better boon duration value than minstrels, but yeah, go minstrel armour all the way.

Giver’s weapons are actually condition duration, and a worthwhile amount of it.

If you convert the 10% condition duration into expertise, they actually have more overall stats than even ascended weapons. The problem is that the stat allocation isn’t great, and the exotic → ascended base damage is actually a big deal.
