So logged in today for the first time in months. Took a look at my ele, got agitated, moved to my mesmer, got giddy.

While not knowing much at all about the new traits, I grabbed Domination, Dueling, and Inspiration.

For Domination: +might on GS auto, distort on signet
For Dueling: clones on dodge
For Inspiration: Phantasm casts signet of inspiration and give regeneration

So I seem to be a Might+Distortion sharing beast.

Easy to get 14+ stacks of might without any special gear/runes. Using a phantasm shares that might (plus my other boons from my slotted Signet of Illusions) along with sharing Distortion (because Inspiration trait which casts Signet of Illusion applies the distort effect from the Domination trait).

Am I missing something, or is this crazy good?

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”

To put it another way:

Illusionary Inspiration (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Illusionary_Inspiration) will trigger Blurred Inscriptions (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Blurred_Inscriptions) which synergizes with Inspiring Distortion (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Inspiring_Distortion)

In addition, Illusionary Inspiration synergizes with Imagined Burden (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Imagined_Burden) which synergizes well with Deceptive Evasion (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Deceptive_Evasion)

While yes it is a good synergy, I just feel that ele and watrior(?) still produce might at a faster speed and share it much easier than mesmer because most of their might comes from fire field
There’s a great potential for boonshare, something I have rarely seen in pvp as a whole (yes there is those are boons, but taking boons from allies and yourself and distributing them widely is a far cry from that) but using I inspiration only for might is not using the trait to its full potential, if you’re interested you can go take a look at chaos archangel boon share build that should be somewhere on the first two page of the forums
It’s a great build that really make use of this boon/distortion share and it can still be tweaked to personal taste in all sort of fashion
