¿Did boon duration get nerfed? I used to be able to get up to +30% boon duration from the chaos trait line. Now the only thing I can find is the minor trait “Chaos Persistence” that gives me 3% for every boon on me. This means I would need to have almost all the boons in the game on me just to get the same result. Also getting that with gear looks impossible without a huge loss in dps. ¿Is there a way to get similar results to the boon duration pre patch or should I just forget about it?

That has to do with the fact that they removed stats from traitlines/specializations.
I’ve no idea how to get it back to how it used to be, haven’t looked into it either as it hasn’t really bothered me (yet) :P

Conditions duration too. I thought that Chaos Persistance would make up for the changes but now that I read your post I do not think it does.

Also, boons come and goes so, I do not know how the calculation for boons and coditions is made.

  • Lets say I have three boons…
    - I guess conditions and boons will last a 9% more than the baseline.
  • But than you have a boon which expires before the other two.
    - Do conditions will reflect the -3% change?
    - And what happens if I receive 2 more boons soon after?

It is a kinda of messy to me…

the increased condition duration and increased boon duration is dependent upon the amount of boons you have on you when they are applied.

for example, if you have 3 boons on you, the conditions you apply last 9% longer. If you lose a boon after you apply a condition, the duration on the condition you’ve already applied doesn’t change but, the next condition you apply lasts only 6% longer since you lost a boon.
