the protection boon alone is making 80%+ of the builds unviable

read my post before answering to it

understand wvw mechanics before asking for a nerf to an important boon.

The problem isn't the effect. It's the duration. Any boon that can be maintained 100% of the time will create certain problems depending on its effects.When a boon stacks in duration, people just wants to keep it up at all times. And then all build end up considering you will have it up at all times.

A boon like protection should exist to endure a barrage of attacks that is stronger or harder to avoid than usual, not to stack with other effects to ensure enemy damage is so inconsequential people do not even have to stop their rotations to evade, as the reduced damage can be easily outhealed.

As many boons as possible should be changed to stack on intensity rather than duration, so skillful gameplay isn't about who can maintain as many stacked everythings for as long as possible, but who can use the right things at the right time.
