Guild Wars 2

I’m writing this topic after the recent changes to mesmer, its not a QQ (maybe just a little) its just a sugegstion to promote also a support role for the mesmer, since actually everyone is using this class with burst build or phantasmal dpser.

When first buff to shattered strength was implemented i tried a Boonshare build, maybe i’m the only one who manage to create an effective build in that direction, but it was possible also thx to shattered strength giving lots of might to share to the party with Signet of Inspiration.
Now having shattered strength back to 1might stack per clone the build is 3x less effective; ok, i can still share other boons, but usually they have really a short duration like 4s (5s -1s to cast the sigil).
I’m not asking to go back to 3 stacks on S.S. cause i know it was being abused in burst builds but i think its not bad to have a viable support build for mesmers, but now its hard for that build to be good since Signet of inspiration has 45s cooldown… so sharing boons that last for 4s on a 45s cd seems quiet crap; maybe decreasing its cd to 30s wouldnt be as bad.

This is my specific experience, but i think the same might be for other classes, i see most builds based on killing the opponent and really few if noone based on helping the party… i dont mean with high heals, my build was a good example of support through boon sharing, and i think every class should have such an option.

I’ve started to do some boonsharing recently.
With the change to signet of inspiration i’ve now got it slotted all the time.
Combined with rune of lyssa, when i pop my mass invis, i activate the signet and Everyone around me gets every boon in the game for about 4 seconds.
Its really usefull for smallscale wvw to do a quick push into the other team.

thats what i have been doing, and it was really great cause i before mass stealth i was doing 2x shatter to also add 18might, which was a great boost i know but was balanced by having a 45s cd… now the long cd is still there but might is reduced to 6 with 2 full shatter :\
