Guild Wars 2

Just a couple quick questions about AH. Does it activate upon:

- Buffs due to Pure of Voice?

- When you blast a combo field and it gives non-boons like area Stealth or Healing or the armors?

- When someone else blasts a combo field you laid down?

I’m guessing the answers are Yes, No, No, but I wanted to double-check.

Altruistic Healing activates whenever you apply a Boon to yourself or an ally. My assumption is Yes, Yes, No.

What about Rune bonus?

“Yes, No, and No” is correct.

Stealth is not a boon. It’s an effect.

What about Rune bonus?

As long as it’s a ‘boon’ being applied to an ally, or an AoE that applies boons – in which case you count as an “ally”.

I dont believe that certain blast fields count in regard to your second question. Things like stealth, chaos armor, are special effects, not actual boons. I believe only the orange buff icons count as boons so only might, fury, regen, protection, vigor, aegis, retaliation, and stability (i think thats all of them) count towards AH as for runes if you are talking about ones that give a boon under certain conditions, like when hit or to allies when using a heal skill then yes those do count. Any boon you give to anyone at anytime should heal you.

I have hear rumors about AH and it not working correctly when adding duration onto a boon already in place, but never have i experienced that before.
