Guild Wars 2

Say I have +20 boon duration from 20 virtues plus +15 from Sigil of altruism +20 boon duration from chocolate omnomberry cream. Will that +55 percent also applies on boons casted on allies?

Yes, it will.

Does anyone know the cap for boon duration increases?

AFAIK, There are no hard caps in this game, however, i don’t think stacking +boon duration is a good thing, as you will detract from more useful stats to get it at an acceptable value.

A fair value of +40% is just amazing, and will let you use your shouts almost non-stop.

I think the max is 101% (111% if you’re a warrior or mesmer)

6% from Givers armor
30% from 30 Virtues
15% from 2 Superior Water Runes
15% from 2 Superior Monk Runes
10% from 2 Major Monk or Sanctuary Runes
5% from having Exquisite Snowflakes in each jewlery slot upgrade slot.
20% from Omnomnom Berry Chocolate Cream

I think it has a cap at 90% im running theexact build Kami posted and my “Save Yourselves” is at 19s wherein it should’ve been at 20s

Has this already accounted for the fact that timers are rounded down? Supposing that you should see 10s * 2.01 = 20.1s, would it be possible you are missing that ~0.1 second window to see it showing up as 20s?

I’m not sure about that but at 101% I am prestty much expecting it to be doubled. Anyhow its still good, like having perma retaliation and regen on GS, Mace/focus.

i think perma regen is useless if the heal is low. there will be cases that that short regen duration with high heals will be clutch for your party mates to use their own heal. people die because the damage is so overpowering that the regen heal points is not enough to get their bar over 0.

I play as a boon tank and not as a boon support class though, but healing is at 1.1k and I guess that’s not too bad, but I keep boons at a minimum of two for all party members due to the long durations, condition converted to boons per shout is awesome.
