Guild Wars 2

They’re boons right?

I was thinking about how using the aura duplicator trait and max your boon duration you could get a lot of reflection for your group in fotm with earth staff 3

7 and 1/2 second shocking aura? I’ll take it!

Auras were considered boons for awhile after launch, but they nerfed them when ele wasn’t terrible. The plus side was that they couldn’t be stripped with boon removal (only mesmer normally had boon stripping in their viable spec at that time). In retrospect, the nerf turned into a blessing when they started passing out boon ripping and boon hate like candy.

It’s one of those bizarro world moments where they helped out the ele when they intended to stomp it into the ground.
