So...aegis IS a boon right?
Yes, yes and yes.
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”
Oh that’s delicious. Thank you
Uh … you plan on fighting things without ever getting hit?

Do you know how much easier it is to have Aegis broken? :P
The Guardian practically has permanent aegis with Virtue of Courage, so when Chocolate Omnomberry Cream says “40% magic find while under the effect of a boon,” does it apply to the Guardian’s aegis that stacks and applies every 40 seconds?
Yes. VoC technically doesn’t “stack” Aegis though, it just refreshes the duration every 40 seconds. If you want to use that food on a Guardian I’d bring more ways of giving yourself Boons like…
1. Empowering Might
- T2 trait in Honor
- Might for 5s whenever you crit
2. “Retreat!”
- Long duration Swiftness/Aegis
3. Greatsword
- Might for 5s on every third attack with #1
4. Hammer
- Protection for 3s on every third attack with #1
- Frequent Retaliation from combining #2’s blast finisher with #1’s light field
5. “Stand Your Ground!”
- Decent duration Stability/Retaliation on a short cooldown
6. “Hold the Line!”
- Decent duration Protection/Regeneration on a short cooldown
7. Pure of Voice
- T3 trait in Honor
- Converts 1 Condition to a Boon whenever you use a shout
8. Superior Rune of the Soldier 6/6 bonus
- Converts 1 Condition to a Boon whenever you use a shout (stacks with Pure of Voice)

30s on Virtue of Courage
48s on Retreat
90s on Renewed Focus assuming 6 Superior Runes of the Monk …
If you use only range and only go 1v1 against melee enemies then it would be great but otherwise it looks like the least useful boon for this purpose.
Given that a good guardian can always have a few boons up nearly all the time, Chocolate Omnomnomberry Cream works very well with them.
kitten anet, my guardian with aegis one still doesnt show mf boost with boon one when i use consumable.

Wrathfull spirit is also nice to uphold a boon, everytime your aegis is removed you get 3 seconds of retaliation, giving you more time to get a replacement boon up.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!

Thats strange, i thought it was broken and i was wasting money with this instead if the bar :’(.
Does the bonus Mf actually apply?

So now since there’s no “dragging the party for personal rewards by equips” anymore, the new trend will be “dragging the party down for personal rewards by builds” ?
