The Pledge - Rework
I agree the rework is a little… underwhelming.
The removal of condition removal is a loss, even if prestige has one as standard. The only real bonus is having flat -20% cooldown.
A flat 20% recharge was what I wanted when I thought we were getting a good condi weapon with Mirage. So that is nice kind of. Burning should also apply to Mage attacks and the mage attacks should be stronger base anyway.
Having the burning apply to mage attacks would be better. Or better yet, though this might be too strong for an adept trait, would be to have all of your attacks while wielding a torch have a chance to apply burning.

I WOULD LOVE THAT!!!
Obviously lol it has the potential to be very overpowered, especially if we can force 3 clones at once to all use ambush attacks with mirage cloak. I understand why they didn’t go with this.
Has anyone else who also plays a PU(ish) style WvW build have troubles with condi removal now? Any advice? I normally depended on torch skills and arcane thievery. I’m assuming now I will have to drop a trait line for Inspiration.

Scepter torch mirage that uses ambush skill= 50 stacks of burning lmao.

There’s the option of the Sigil of Cleansing/Purity… or is that a waste of a sigil?
It is a good option, that mage phantasmal also inflict x1 extra burning. But I preferred something more to support damage or inflict extra condiction that synergy with other traits of mesmer.
For example:
The Pledge
Torch skills recharge a 20% more faster. Mage phantasmal also now inflict blind and vigor.
Blind (3s)
x2Burning (3s)
Fury (3s)
Vigor (3s)
Recharge reduced: 20%
Now with that rework, have a synergy with “Ineptitude” (inflict Confusion when you blind a foe) and get Vigor, for more dodge (The Mirage need dodge).
I don’t know what mirage will be like, but I’d like more burning options. I’ve been experimenting with a burning chrono recently and it’s actually not bad, despite the few burn sources. Fingers crossed for more.
