Signet of Inspiration
But then it’d be broken on a Boon Duration build. I get 20 sec swiftness with my build meaning that it’d stack to be infinite swiftness in and out of combat unless I got it ripped.
How would you feel if Signet of Inspiration was changed to always grant Swiftness as its boon while out of combat? It would help alleviate Mesmer mobility issues in the open world and WvW, for sure.
Since perma-swiftness from a signet is better than the Thief/Ele/Ranger MS signets, the swiftness duration could be nerfed a bit to compensate. Say 7-8 seconds every 10 seconds?
I’d prefer it to grant the same speed boost that every other caster speed boost signet does…25% and not be counted as a boon. Necro signet of the locust and Ele signet of air. I’d be cool with the 25% being cancelled upon entering combat and then have the standard current rotation of random boons apply during combat. Just change the out of combat random boons to not include swiftness.
I would like it if out of combat it only applied a speed boost, or granted swiftness periodically.
I love it in pvp, but hate it in pve/wvw – it is incredibly annoying with the ceaseless “go ahead, hit me!” and other sound effects every 10 seconds. Just gets tiresome on the ear.
Every week we get a signet of inspiration for speed post. Do you all not use all of your utility slots? I Don’t want to go without one. I actually want another one! In WvW i don’t want to hope i have time to stay out of combat to switch my slots either. I keep asking thieves as is, to let me change weapons before they attack me, and they seldom oblige.

It’s a personal choice – Currently, the Mesmer is left with no real option but to take a Focus off-hand or suffer from lack of out-of-combat mobility. They have the worst mapping speed of any profession because they only have one weapon-based swiftness skill with ~50% uptime give or take, with no low cooldown leaps or other mobility skills.
I would have to answer with “Yes. I would love to have the option to lose a utility slot for a mobility option rather than be forced to take an entire weapon set for mobility.” And Signet of Inspiration isn’t exactly a wasted slot either. The boons, while unreliable, can be valuable, and the active can be very helpful in certain builds.
