Guild Wars 2

Hi, I am using S/D now and I have been having some thoughs over my build. My build focuses on having high crit damage and average crit chance, while TRYING to maintain long fury duration without doing major tweaks to the build (0/25/0/15/30). So far I have 6 ruby orb jewel armor 80% crit damage 42% crit chance. I noticed that with 42% it’s still very low and Fury is a very much needed boon. So I had my thoughs to use +% boon duration runes instead of my orb jewls, having 2x Water sup and 2x Monk sup with 2X ruby orb jewel, BUT that means that my fury will only last for another second, 60% X 2 / 100 is around 1.2 seconds more fury. Is it even worth going for boon durations for fury? Any other suggestions to get maintain Fury? Or should I stop seeking for fury and get as much Crit damage and power as possible?

I would go for crit and power.

I play a 20/20/0/20/10 build with Berserker gear and 50% Boon Duration (45% Crit, 80% CritDmg) and since I only get Fury from swapping (S/D, no Zephyr’s) I try to time it with some combos (right before Churning goes off, right when Dragon’s Tooth/Phoenix or Fire Grab is going to hit, etc) and I think I’m pretty happy with the damage…

If you play S/D don’t forget that is really easy to combo Might and Boon Duration is great for this since the Might from combos is 20 seconds, making a 50% Boon Duration up to 30s…
While Fury is great and all, having 18 stacks of Might constantly is even better.

If you really want close to 100% Fury uptime I think you’ll need to pick D/D and/or an insane amount of Boon Duration…

Hi, instead, why don’t you go for the superior runes of altruism it will grant you a full 10s of fury each time you use your healing skill.

Just go boon duration runes. As long as you swap attunements after using cooldowns you’ll have fury pretty much most of the time, and if you know you’ll need to hang to an attunement just switch to water and pop frost aura for a longer fury duration from zephyr’s boon.

To help with your crit chance use Butternut Squash Soup or Curry Butternut Squash Soup and Quality or Master Maintenance Oil. I prefer the Quality and regular Butternut because they’re cheaper and their lesser effects are barely noticeable if at all

Let me know if you are interested…
