boon duration for wvw and pve?
PvE is incredibly dumbed down its not even worth talking about a PvE build. I used to run the standard AH meant to run in groups. I could solo any zone in the game with no problems. Basically any build with some semblance of synergy will do just fine in PvE.
If you’re looking for WvWvW boon build you could try the following:

Ignore the post above. PVE dungeon content can be challenging, and boon duration builds can be very strong, especially if you’re going for a more tanky build.
Here’s a sample boon build:

Just FYI Okamakiri, when folks say PvE they mostly refer to zones not dungeons. Yes dungeons are against npcs. However they are not same as general PvE roaming.

No, that is YOUR assumption of what people are referring to. Unless they explicitly specify roaming or dungeon, then PVE applies to both. As you said, open PVE is easy so anything will work. However, dungeons are not (some anyway) and a boon build works very well there. Therefore, it would only make sense to choose a spec that would work for ALL forms of PVE instead of pretending that dungeons are not part of it.
He did ask about WvW as well, but since I have not played my guard there, I didn’t comment on boon build viability there.
All I know is mine is bigger then both if yours..
Boon duration builds work very well for solo roaming, scouting, clearing supply camps, and in small-group combat (up to 5 people). In larger groups, their effectiveness diminishes somewhat, due to the target cap for most boon-granting abilities. Guardians themselves are not terribly effective in siege combat, either, due to our somewhat weak ranged weaponry.
That being said, boon duration builds are certainly effective, and depending on your WvW playstyle, can be amazingly strong, especially in 1v1 combat.
