I would have been nice if an additional well were added with a reliable way to apply aoe condition damage – perhaps 3 pulses of bleeding/burning, or 1 pulse burning, 1 pulse bleed, 1 pulse torment. Balance for WvW may be tough though.

I just pugged a dungeon with “mesmer-only, any build” (and I had a lot of fun). After a few fights, I realized we really lacked might so I switched to a condi shatter boonshare (approximately like this:

it was twilight arbor so I used the mantra for cleansing the poison)

and I could maintain an approximate 15-20 mights (despite having no rune of aristocracy or any might duration), plus some protection (always good in Pugs) and a low but decent damage. I think I didn’t really need the mirror image, since my illusion generation was already good enough compared to my shatters cooldowns, and thus use the condi damage signet for some extra damage and a ice bow 5 alternative if needed

So yes, having a sinister/rampager set can be useful in odd situations…
