Guild Wars 2

I had created a build for my ranger to exploit the many sources they can get for giving them a ready supply of the Protection boon. Despite upgrades and traits and other means of increasing the duration of Protection, none appear to affect it. Regardless of source, it flat-out doesn’t apply to any Protection I gain. Perhaps I’ve missed something, but please let me know if I’m going crazy or if this is a real thing to fix.

Upon further examination, it looks like it does affect duration, but doesn’t highlight itself in blue like other modifications display. As far as I can tell, anyway.

The best Protection for a Ranger, is to not play a Ranger…
