Anyone had much success with Superior Runes of Altruism? Particularly with 30 points in Chaos?

Between 30 in Chaos and the set bonus, you get +45% boon duration.
I hear the fury and might on-heal gives you 10 seconds, so that would become 14.5 seconds. With a 15 second cooldown on mirror, it seems like this could be a good way to maintain fury/might.

In PvE/WvW I run a full support Mesmer using Runes of Altruism, Sigil of Battle (on Staff), and Chaos storm/armor in combination with Signet of Inspiration to very powerful effect. Sigil of Battle + runes of altruism alone give you 6x might and Fury, which is a considerable boost. For pure might stacking, throwing in Greatsword 2 with the +boon duration & Rune/Sigils to maximize the amount of might you can build.

You can take some ideas from the first couple posts and create quite a few interesting and useful combinations.

  • Note that Runes of Altruism is bugged. The bonuses have a 15 second cooldown rather than 10. Mirror / Mantra of Recovery work really well with it though.
  • Also, Chocolate Omnomberry Creams add 20% to your boon duration.
