Guild Wars 2

hello fellow wana be ritualists, tell me why who and wen are you using this skill exept double tap for the boons, why would i upkeep something that inscreesed duration of something that is already an upkeep, i find it sync “well” if you stand on Jalis’s rock floor to add some extra duration/stacks but for a small amout, the same goes for might just the upkeep i think is 7-8 might and with it its about 10-11 which isnt that great.

correct me if im wrong
so yeah? who why and wen

Aside your examples, protection (elite) you can stack some duration e then blow them for other upkeeps or legend swap for damage.
A thing you might be missing is that f2 is aoe and affects your party members…so i guess here the reasons are just overwelming

To stack Protection and spread long Regeneration to multiple targets, to bump Protection from Ventari’s Will to 3.5 or 4.5 seconds, to stack some might and ton of swiftness, to gain nearly permanent Retaliation or more Resistance, with Shield skills & trait to get huge boon durations…..

People don’t use it’s whole potential.

True story

As others have mentioned, protection stacking is a big one. But it’s also really useful to allies, arguably the main reason for running it. Coordinate with your party so boons from Guardians, ele’s, war’s etc last 50% longer.

I only ever use the 50% if might stacking, run 50% and might on herald with mace spamming fire field/combo gets you to 25 stacks very fast.

This. If I am solo, I will use it for might/fury stacking. If in a group, it will be on most of the time.

yes but i can already upkeep regenaration or protaction
but yeah i forgot about resistance and retaliation

It’s AoE and doesn’t rely on Glint. you don’t even have to run Glint and you can still gain the benefits of the increased duration for a minimal upkeep.

I use it so that I can build up boon durations while using dragon stance and keep e.g. fury and regeneration after legend swapping.

I used it to get greater Resistance uptimes from Mallyx as well as Might duration on Unrelenting Assault.

For solo situations I use it out of battle to stack up on Glint boons in case I need to swap to a different Legend during my next encounter.

For group situations I have it up practically 100% of the time since the value is in affecting the duration of my allies’ boons as well.

Remember you have to activate it before using Impossible Odds. It’s not possible to have both active at the same time.
