Guild Wars 2

I just made a thread at the general forums cuz it affects every class, but I’d like to hear what the mesmers here would think about such a sigil:

Hey everyone – for the sake of multiple classes and playstyles I’d say this would be a great sigil to add to the current pool:

Major Sigil of the Keeper

• Companions deal 5% more damage.

Superior Sigil of the Keeper

• Companions deal 10% more damage.

Imagine the new possibilities and supported playstyles:

• a good pick for mesmers, since modifiers like force or accuracy won’t affect phantasms, this would be an option for less personal but more phantasmal damage
• ranger pets for kite builds or more pet focused playstlye
• thief build for traps and thief guild elite, probably mostly pvp
• necro minion master for pve buff, dunno how op or up they are in pvp, but since I don’t see them in ranked they are probably too weak
• spirit weapon guards – arise!

What do you think? Wouldn’t a sigil like this be great for the game?

Remember – only mesmer stuff here Would you use it to boost your phants? Or stay at personal damage?

I’m not sure if illusions count as “companions” or not. My gut tells me no, though.

Ranger runes work with it – they do

I like the idea personally, especially for Spirit Weaps (I just really like Spirit Weaps). But Mesmer: I’d definitely use it in a phantasm hybrid build—that would basically be the equivalent of an extra condi on a target for the staff phant, really nice but not totally broken!

The biggest issue that I’d have with it (as well as others, I’m sure) is that it would further encourage the use of AI in PvP or roaming in WvW, which I think plenty of players would not like to see.

But yea, I like the idea; and I wouldn’t mind having it by any means

And for a PvE pick only?

No – I don’t want more things improving AI damage.

You should play the game, and not afk next to your minions.

Isn’t it the intention to play what you like? AI is one thing, but it also could be improved. Also for me it’s mainly the mesmer aspect wich has no real AI like other minions do. They are more like a dot that can be destroyed easily.
