Guild Wars 2

Anyone else have this feeling? Our signets not being the most desired things compared to other choices (not to mention other classes) as well as the change to Illusionary Invigoration reducing it’s c/d. Would it be OP if this had a shorter c/d? I personally think it’s wayy to long to be considered viable beyond it’s passive.

I also think it’s activation is very clunky and chunky wind up for something that doesn’t need to be actively evaded, and significantly breaks flow.

Thoughts?

you are not really meant to activate it. its meant for phastasm builds basically.

But this statement shows how broken the signet really is.

It’s a signet. It’s supposed to have 2 functions, balanced between the passive and the active.

With the exception of the heal signet, all mesmer signets are absolutely horridly designed. You either take them totally for the active or totally for the passive. You basically never take them because you want both functions.

Signet of illusions is an example of the latter. The active is horrible and the passive is strong, so you take it for the active and never use it. It’s definitely a bit of an issue.

I don’t like it at all tbh.

90s is too long – could be 60s instead.

Cast time is also awkward.

There’s a lot wrong with signets on mesmer, just take a look at my rework:

Not to mention the traits of it that should be changed.
