Guild Wars 2

Welcome to Theory with TiiBags #1
Today, we will be looking at how much 10% boon duration can really help!

There are TONS of variables. These are all over a 100 second time period, if you use the ability as it comes off of cool-down. Cast times are NOT included. All numbers are rounded off to the second decimal place. There is no way in hell I’m doing all the Runes though. Here it goes…

2. Shouts
3. Focused Mind

Now all you do is add up what boons you get.

I will use myself for example;

• Hammer
• Greatsword
• Stand your Ground
• Hold the Line
• Save yourselves
• Virtues
• Sigil of battle
• Renewed Focus
• Vigorous Precision
• Indomitable courage
• Finishers

I will get:

• 15.82 seconds extra of Retaliation
• 7.99 Seconds extra of Aegis
• 28.42 seconds extra of Protection
• 49.9 seconds extra of 3 stacks of Might
• 5.68 seconds extra of Stability

• 4.16 seconds extra of Fury
• 4.16 seconds extra of 1 stack of Might

And:

That’s a lot of boons!

This took lots of time. I really hope this helps you guys decide if you want that little bit of extra boon duration. If you enjoyed this theory, check out my channel here. I currently have a few videos up, one of which is a GW2 one that you might enjoy. I’ll put new ones up as soon as I get footage. You can also comment and make a request for the next video.

Until next time bros :P

1- It does not work while roaming, so its out.
2- I hate builds that are only marginal viable thanks to food bonuses.

Apolo.5942:

1- It does not work while roaming, so its out.
2- I hate builds that are only marginal viable thanks to food bonuses.

1. It is 100% roaming viable

2. Food buffs enhance it, it isn’t necessary

3. It isn’t a build, its a guide to boon duration
