30 in Virtues?
0/0/10/30/30 is a very powerful build. I’ve actually stopped using Purity against all but the largest of enemy groups, though. I use Pure of Voice and run burn blocks over Purity instead to make up for some missing damage.
I also run Shelter for anti-burst and a shorter CD.
i run 0/0/20/30/20 and its doing well for me so far.
20 – strength in numbers and honorable shield
the other 20 is – master of consecrations and absolute resolution
30 is battle presence, superior aria, and protective reviver
I run 0/15/0/30/25 (used to run 0/10/0/30/30, but having VoJ refresh on kill is priceless in PvE, and strong even in WvW). It works amazingly well.
The 30 courage group stun break is excellent for dungeoneering and helps increase DPS by reducing the amount of time you’re not attacking the boss because he just group CCed you (aside from its obvious defensive purposes).
@kaffal – is is super worth it? i’d imagine the more stun breaks the better in most situations. assuming this works in WvW as well? stun break plus an extra block can help escaping certain sticky situations.
i’ve been debating switching up my build a bit. either to 0/0/20/30/20 or 10/30/30. using runes to max boon duration as well. quick ques – so runes / foods or traits that apply boon duration, how does this apply to specific boon duration? e.g. retaliation from Vengeful trait – which is +25% uptime. does this just add on to say 40% from runes and 30% from traits? with food, that can pretty much mean 100% uptime on it?
