I think ANet should take another look at our Adept Minor Trait, Vengeful Images. For those of you who don’t know, Vengeful Images grants phantasms 5 seconds of retaliation. In the past, though, it was deemed too powerful because it gave phantasms indefinite retaliation, and so it was nerfed past any reliability. I believe, however, that there are better ways to nerf it without breaking those build which relied on it or catering to those who were hurt most by its existence, AKA zergs and mindless spammers. Oh, great was the punishment the Immortal Mesmer struck down on the weak-minded mob-mentalities which it faced.
On to possible solutions which we can post in a forum ANet looks at:
-Make it an major trait instead of a minor in exchange for indefinite retaliation on phants.
-Create an interval like Phantasmal Fury has, reapplying the boon after a set amount of time. Maybe, perhaps, 10 seconds?
-Make the duration longer, perhaps 10-15 seconds? This if nothing else.
-Some other idea?
