What's the Highest Personal Boon Duration?
A:
Correct.
Full Ascended Commander’s (sans backpack and amulet) gives +35.97% BD. Which gives +98.67% BD, with Chronomancer runes and full ascended gear.
I was looking at that, and it didn’t seem very accurate. It calls for Ascended Trinkets giving 314 concentration, but as far as I know, there aren’t even Commander Trinkets/Rings in the game? And even if there were, you can’t put Platinum Doubloons in Ascended Trinkets, only Agony Infusions, and there isn’t a version of those that gives Boon duration.
It’s possible to get ascended Commander’s Amulets, Rings, and Accessories via raid rewards. Each costs 250 Magnetite shards, meaning it’d take approximately 7 weeks of capping on shards to get all of those items (also assuming you salvage some minis/armor to make up for the additional 50 tokens you need to hit 750).
As for Sigils of Concentration, just keep it on your main hand. Having one in both offhands would just double the cost, for no additional benefit.

caped at 100% but you may reach almost 110% with exotic trinkets.
Not even taking into account the fact that chaotic persistence grant you 3% boon duration per boon on you…
No core profession should be balanced around an optional elite specialization.

Only exotic trinkets give you the option for Doubloons, ya?
Thanks for the clarification, Zui :-)
