Guild Wars 2

I really think this shout shouldn’t have its boons’ durations reduced :| that is all

This is one of the older changes I never really agreed with. They reduced the boon duration few months after launch, apparently SY was over performing in pvp. SY is pretty much a death sentence against a condi heavy teams even with Solider Runes and Pure of Voice. There is no reason not to go Purging Flames or something else instead. The reason why the boon duration should be so long is to act as a counter balance to all the conditions you receive. At launch, conditions weren’t as much as a problem as they are now, so I can see why they nerfed it back then. However nowadays there’s really no reason to run it. If I see a very heavy CC team, then I’ll run it for an extra stun break, however for the most part I stay away from it in pvp.
