Guild Wars 2

Did they nerf book duration of the might granted from forceful greatsword? If so, is the phalanx strength with forceful greatsword might still viable might stacking? (Or at least as viable as it was, I know that was the point of some debates)

Phalanx Warrior was and still is one of the best way to gain might. Especially since now you gain get both the DPS and Phalanx in a single build. They didn’t nerf it, but we don’t the boon duration from trait. That’s the reason you have a bit less might duration.

Phalanx strength is still as overpowered as ever.

Just now you can’t really avoid using strength runes if you want to be able to maintain 25 might. You also can accommodate for the boon duration loss by using fried golden dumplings.

Strength sigils aren’t even needed, just the runes + food.

You can make use of that green cactus thingy. Cactus corn bread, and No…<green cactus thingy> Saute grants +20% boon duration. (thou they can be a bit overexpensive with crafting mats… but golden dumplings are expensive anyway).
