Signet of Renewal – 60 Seconds for a stun break and condition removal which most likely kill the pet VS Signet of Stamina (Removes All Conditions 45 Second CD Untraited)
Signet of Stone – 80 Seconds for a 6 Second Physical Damage Mitigation VS Endure Pain (60 Second CD, yes its only 4 seconds Physical Damage Mitigation but Also A Stun Breaker)
Signet of The Wild/Enlargement – 60 Seconds of the Damage Increase, Very Susceptible while Casting VS Dolyak Signet (10 Stacks of Stability, Instant Cast, Stun Breaker)
They have good actives don’t get me wrong
BUT
The Signet Trait Competes with Moment of Clarity.
I think a shave to the CDs will be great even just 10%
OR
Make Clarion Bond a minor, Signet Trait an Adept Major, then Alpha Strike is baseline.
Can’t agree with anything. It’s good that it competes with other traits. Shows that there was, at the very least, some thought of the balancing team sticking with their word of “choosing traits should be difficult” unless the player is going for a certain niche.
If there’s any sort of improvement that any signet should receive, the most I could see is the cast time on Signet of the Wild reduced from 1s to ¾s and Signet of Stone active also grants 6s of Retaliation for the player and pet with reduced cooldown from 80s to 75s.
I can only agree with Signet of the Wild.
If you think about it…
…
You need to pre-cast 20 stuff before dealing your burst. That’s … Awful.
I don’t need it a stun-breaker. I just want it instant.

What you guys think?
Sounds like you’re forced into a choice. That’s what all traits should be. There should never be an obvious choice on a trait, that is poor design. Unfortunately for the most part, in GW2, there are poor trait choices and the best trait is obvious.

Exactly my point, why would you choose Signet traits over MoC?
SoR sucks because if the pet isn’t within 600 units of you, then you don’t get the cleanse. Other than that it is ok, even though its design is questionable by making you kill your own pet. SotW is fine, would be nice if it was instant. SoS is also fine.
