Guild Wars 2

This is a Grand Master trait, and really hard to reach as inspiration trait.

It feels like, to have only 1 condition removed (per phantasm/clone) at the price of sacrificing 1 or 2 phantasms, a bit poor.

Above of this, as Support trait we should be able to really clean the conditions from our Group.

If you could increase the condition removed from 1 to 2 it would increase the support ability. Sometime you have only 1 or 2 phantasm/clone active
and you see your mate with 6 conditions.
For a Grand master trait, it would be justified.

I guess more people would think about using it.

There’s another thread where we discuss this grand master trait…

This would be much better if it were combined with Restorative Illusions. Additionally, the healing should be AOE. It’d make going into Inspiration actually worth it and give you and your team some amount of sustain.

It would also give room for a glamour or phantasm grandmaster trait. fingers crossed for glamours Also, I’d hope they rework the interrupt gm trait to actually be effective.

IMO. This is a really strong trait already. Paired with DE, you have cd cleanse every 10 secs, 30, 45, 60 secs.

not counting if you have 3 clones, 4 if you have IP. 4 conditions. Imagine that. AOE too.

Combine this trait with sigils of energy, Illusionary Invigoration, signet of illusions, and the vigor on crit trait. + menders purity since you are on the Inspiration line.

I’m not sure it works with IP. Regardless, you can’t run it with IP. If you take IP…you can’t take DE.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Almost every decent mesmer tried what you are talking about. it is unplayable.

Pushing the inspiration trait this far is not easy going. When i wrote you sacrifice Phantasm, i really mean it. Since this trait favorite the phantasm your gameplay is based on them.

As support there is nothing wrong for asking a decent support in Grand master trait.

i am sure dev already thought about it, i just ask myself why didn’t they do it, knowing that is one of the less played trait and even more one the less skilled as grand master.

You actually don’t have to go the phantasm route when in the Inspiration line. You can simply go 2 points into Domination if you want 15%+ dmg for illusions. It’s actually very sporadic and versatile in your options. Yes, you can go for increase in phantasm health, but you also have traits that buff support on shatters (Vigorous/SC), self-sustain (Menders/RI), mantra heal that’s self-sustain AND supportive and glamours…

The Inspiration trait line, in theory, is actually really nice, but its implantation is horrible. Typically, when I go 6 deep into Inspiration it’s so that I can take multiple Adept traits. What does that say about the majority of the trait line?

well you actually say the same thing as me.

But on Topic, it is painful to skill 6 point on inspiration, above of this, it is painful to skill Shattered Conditions.
It is even considered as useless, since 80% of Mesmer don’t even play it.
an update there would make it more attractive
