Maxing Ricochet Might Duration?
I would guess the maxium would be ~7 second going full into boon duration, with strength runes, 6 points in nature magic, and full givers armor/trinkets and +boon duration food, but I don’t think that the might would be enough to counter the loss of offensive stats from the armor, trinkets, and food.
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.
I believe there’s a 100% limit on boon duration. So since ricochet gives 3 sec of might, the max you can extend it to is 6 sec. The tooltip may show higher values, but you only get up to +100%.
Fortifying Bond will give your pet a fixed 10 sec of might for every stack of might you get. So it’s rather easy to get the pet up to a 25 stack with the FB trait.
I think boon duration cap is 90% and condi duration cap is 100%.
You cap it by sacrificing a lot of other stats. Eg. Boon duration runes, exotic trinkets with platinum doubloon, loaf of candy cactus cornbread.
I think that you have to look at this form a practical point of view. Going all out boon/might duration is not always going to be the best option.
if you use a SotF or NV type build (6 points in natures magic) plus Strength/Hoelbrak runes for power or Aristocracy runes for conditions (note hoelbrak runes have 15 less might duration compared to the others). You are going to have 60-75% might duration give you about 5s of might on hit.
I believe this will give you 7 or 8 stacks of might against a single target and closer to 20 of multiple targets (don’t quote me on this as I’m at work and cant test it). From here it is probably not worth using givers armor or boon duration food, you will get more value out of some sort of damage armor/food.
For me the real power in the might on axe hit is in BM builds with fortifying bond. As Solandri said your pet gets a flat 10s might duration, which means your pets gets about 15 stacks of might against a single target and easily maintain 25 against multiple targets.
