Prismatic Understanding: No longer affects the Prestige. Now grants a random defensive boon every three seconds while in stealth. (Protection, Aegis, or Regeneration)

Is working as intended. I’m still trying to figure out a playstyle, but it’s fun right now, since it gives mesmer invisibility a new twist. It’s finnaly making me use the torch.

About Swiftness, it is still the worse of all classes. I have 2 Major Sanctuary (10% boon), 2 Superior Water (15% boon), 2 Superior Pack (20% swiftness), with Signet of Midnight (10% boon) and 30 % boon from Chaos. Let’s say, 75 % boon duration for swiftness.

Results :

Signet of Inspiration swiftness on tooltip = 16 1/2 secs (10 secs with no buff). 18 secs when spawning on boon bar.
Temporal Curtain swiftness on tooltip = 19 3/4 secs (12 with no buff). 21 secs when spawning on boon bar.

Both of them are really +75 % duration.

Signet of Inspiration is still too random. We need something more reliable. Compouding Celerity IS NOT (lol at this trait). Temporal Curtain should be enough to give near perma swiftness if you have runes and traits on, but THIS IS NOT what we should wear to compensate our horrible mobility skills.
