Guild Wars 2

Currently, Signet of Midnight is so-so. The extra 10% boon duration is nice, the stun-breaker is nice, but the aoe blindness range is rather small (compare to, say, Signet of Air). Mesmers don’t have a natural/passive speed boost or easy access swiftness boon (unless one stays with focus) like other professions do; however, they do have the most stun-breakers (5 total: Decoy, Mirror Images, Mantra of Concentration, Blink, and Signet of Midnight). The only thing that seems to relate to Signet of Midnight is the aoe blindness. There are a few skills that Mesmers have that provides stealth, even a grandmaster trait. I would like to see this signet improved/changed to something like:

Signet of Midnight
Signet Passive: Grants a 25% increase in movement speed
Signet Active: Stealth for 2-3 secs
Optional: Breaks stun

Not only would this provide the Mesmer the speed mobility it lacks, but it also that doesn’t rely on using runes (Centaur/Air), a weapon, or random boon (Signet of Inspiration). In addition, it will still follow what the Mesmer’s balance philosophy.

would love to see this… but seems a bit OP
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Veil / http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Signet_of_air as a comparison

well try compare it to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Signet_of_the_Locust instead,a nd it actually seems UP (my point is you cant compare like that directly, you have to take into consideration the whole class)

I’d be OK with how you have it listed, including the stun breaker if it’s an elite skill. You’re then forced to make a conscious decision between group utility (time warp and mass invisibility), dueling potential (moa morph), or point A to point B mobility.

We also already have five stun breakers. You forgot the second skill in the Illusionary Leap skill chain. Adding a sixth might be overkill if it isn’t an elite.

it would still seem a bit unbalanced
