Ares boon for a merge project

So I'm starting a merge project on Ares now that he's been demoted and was thinking what boon would be optimal. I'll be using bonfire on him so I was thinking +def for the meatier special procs but would +atk be better?

The +Def IV is only good for the Bonfire Vantage build. In my opinion +Atk is vastly better since it boosts his normal damage, Draconic and the AoE procs.

I'm looking into Ares a bit as well, and find that depending the build and the purpose, +def actually gives him a better match-up spread in some cases. Although, generally speaking, +atk always works very well.

I've pulled on red orbs twice since he was demoted and got him, twice. LoL.

I think his Blazing wind build is going to be fun;

Dark Mystletainn
w/e assist
Blazing Wind
Distant Counter
Vantage
Savage Blow 3
Savage Blow 3 SS

You basically need to get Blazing Wind active for him to pretty much one shot everything, then Vantage kill everything else afterwards.
