Hello, so upon reading the upcoming notes, the condi cleanse and stability mantras will also affect nearby allies. So I was thinking of making a support build for WvW that revolves around mantras. Was thinking of this: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VO;4ZUk41F7RV-71;9;4TJ-J-24A56;239;2S-F6a;9p-F81-N240;0VJ-O0U1YYc3j49eWPk4R0;9;9;7FFFFF;9;9;7V6s5B

Not sure about runes, but most likely traveler. What are your thoughts, suggestions? Maybe another gear / weapon combo?

I like your setup here for the mantra’s and whatnot. Since you are going to have boons going on along with an obvious preference for condition damage, I suggest you spec into 6 runes of the traveler and replace the focus with the torch. You don’t need temporal curtain to buff your speed with the runes, which also buff both boon duration and condition damage, along with perma speed buff, so you don’t have to rely on focus here. Remember, if you go with torch you can use the powerful effect of Cleansing Conflagration to remove conditions from yourself on torch skill activation replacing Crippling Discipation not to mention reducing the recharge of your torch skills. Since that gives you more confition removal through torch skill activation you could replace Mender’s Purity with Persisting Images to buff the life of your phantasms to increase your damage output.
