Guild Wars 2

Has anyone tried this trait in the Chaos tree? It says you get +3% boon and condition duration per boon on you.

I checked the character sheet. No change in those stats with boons applied.
I checked the character sheet in combat with boons. No change.

I checked skill tooltips with boons in and out of combat. No change.

I can’t even feasibly test if they’re working because with three boons it’s still only 9%, which is not noticeable when hovering over the condition’s icon on an enemy or the boon’s icon on my tray.

Has anyone managed to reliably test if this is actually implemented?

I made the same observations and i would really want to know aswell. Playing a boon share support build in wvw that would benefit greatly if the trait worked.

Probably it works as I can see. Just it gives very minor duration increase. Tested boon part with Bountiful Disillusionment trait. With 5 boons it increases boon duration by 15%. So 15s might becomes 17.25s might. Not big encrease. Mb somehow worthy at wvw with durations food/boon spam + condy applying.

Tnx for testing! Have not had the opportunity to test it myself. The increase of 15-20 % is significant when sharing protection whitch imo, is the most important boon to share.

I’ve tested this and yes both the boon and condition duration appear to function as advertised. Best way to validate for yourself (as Mak stated) is to use bountiful disillusionment + chaos storm to load yourself up with boons, hit F4 for the regen and observe the duration.

Has anyone been able to test if this trait can push you over the condition duration cap?

Afaik even if it does push it still useless as additional cond duration is hard capped by 100%. But it can be useful (mostly at wvw) if enemies are using -condi duration food/ traits/runes. E.g. if I have additional condi duration 110% and enemy has -20% to condi duration – I would apply additional 110-20 = 90% condi duration.

just want to make clear

the trait is working BUT from your base doration
so like might have 15 sec
you got 50 boon duration food/amulet this it will show as 22.5 sec
now you have 5 boons on yourself which means 15% duration
so the total boon duration is 65% which means 24.75sec

now if you check it on 6 sec base boon duration than is would be 9.9 sec which means 0.9 sec more with the trait – hardly noticeable but exist
