drgast.1469 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm rounding out some of my characters stats on trinkets and decided to re-evaluate my Ranger. Specifically, I'm taking a look at Boon Duration. With access to things like Moa Stance and the Versatile Pets +225 Concentration I've been wondering how much Concentration to build in with trinkets. I'd love to see what you guys work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lome.8239 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Is this for PvE? Soulbeast, if ever used, should run Viper's I imagine. Running a condi DPS build seems to be the only way to fit one into a group as long as the Druid buffs are already covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running a condi DPS build seems to be the only way to fit one into a group as long as the Druid buffs are already covered. Not asking what stat combinations you use. Specifically if you use any boon duration stats and how much. PvE and/or WvW. But I'll take the response as you not using any Concentration lol.

Specifically if you use any boon duration stats and how much. PvE and/or WvW. But I'll take the response as you not using any Concentration lol. Depends on what PvE mate, if you are doing open world events and want to support, you can run Nature Magic and Commanders trinkets for 37% duration, Harriers Trinkets would bring 47%. Although I think running a Concentration Sigil in your Warhorn is a very good option as it allows you to have some duration on demand when you want it, but not stat waste at the same time. For WvW, it depends even more on your build, but if you are running power with all marauder/zerker gear then Durability runes are a good choice with 20% duration built in, with Nature Magic that is 36% there and the Concentration sigil on WH (if you are using it) would pump that up to 69% for 7s when you want to stack boons. That is what I use anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do a full perma boon build for funzies dont go over 34% boon duration. Moa stance will give you +66% and thus the 100% on activation. Otherwise it will be redundant to use. Sword/WH and greatsword Boonbuild is actually quiet fun with NM/BM/SB. I wouldnt recommend it for fractals or raids though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixdacat.3804 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm glad to see this post as I'm considering the same thing. I ran wanderer gear on my druid in wvw before taking a break. With Soulbeast it seems we get some boon share built in. Sounds like with moa stance and a sigil of concentration we won't need much else. I've run durability runes forever and I like the boons it gives so I see no reason to change. I think with those alone we could be freed up to add in some more damage-oriented stats on gear without sacrificing boon duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacock.6412 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Spring rolls might be a food to consider for an extra boost when needed, not only does it give the 100 concentration, but the reason I use it is for the 30 seconds of swiftness on kill. It's been great in the Lab, where the swiftness duration stacks so high, it's like having Natural Stride. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm half considering a boon duration just for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
