Guild Wars 2

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work like this but i figured i’d ask anyway. Does the Bountiful Hunter trait apply the 5% per boon or is it just for having a boon. which brings me to my main question:

I’m currently running a 0/20/30/20/0 build with GS and Swrd/Dag for PvE and i’m a bit torn between pulling points out of skirmishing for this minor trait. Armor and trinkets are all zerkers with 6/6 dolyak to bolster my survive and syncs well with SoTW. weapons are Valkyrie stats with 5% crit (GS) and sigil of blood(swrd) 5% crit(dag).

45%crit chance (including superior acc sigil)
82% crit dmg
1969 power while wielding GS

this is full exotics except for my chest (rare) replacement is in the works.

so what do you think? would it be worth pulling out of skirmishing just for this minor even if it doesn’t stack per boon?

PS: if you wanna know the exact trait line its as follows:

V-IV
IV-X-XI
V-IX

Please feel free to add input on the over all build as id like to get this as close to perfection as i can. Thank you in advance.

It only checks to see if you have any boons. If yes, you and your pet get +5% damage, if no, you get nada. You do not get increased damage per boon.

okay cool thanks. but am i reading something wrong? is it just the pet or both the pet and i when i myself have a boon?

almost forgot, my back item is the guild assassin rare with exquisite ruby.

i wish it did….

because then, you could go “Superior Runes of Lyssa”… use RAO and get 45% increase of damage for 5 seconds

It’s individual, if your pet has a boon it gets 5%, if you have a boon, you get 5%, but seeing as how there’s the 15pt nature magic talent you’ll be getting the 5% on both of you when you get a boon (until yours wears off and your pets keeps going due to the whole it probably got its own boon as well).

But yes, you are correct.
