Guild Wars 2

I get that they want to encourage phantasm mesmers to refresh when the time is right, but this trait really doesnt help much.

a maximum of 6% cast time reduction wont make up for losing 30% of your good phantasms.

how about
shatter one phantasm 4% reduction
shatter two phantasm 10% reduction
shatter three phantasm 4% reduction+ summon phantasmal rogue

now if the time is right, they can get back up to full phantasms, fairly quickly.

or it can be a random phantasm.

I have a suspicion that theres a display bug on many of these recharge traits and that small numbers like 2% or 1.5% could mean 2 seconds and 1.5 seconds. In which case they’re amazing. So… dunno. We’ll see.

Seconds makes more sense in my opinion
