Illusionary Inspiration

This trait is a bit wonky, perhaps not as much a bug as just an odd interaction.
The trait tooltip states it will not cast the signet of inspiration effect if you have no boons, but because of how the trait works it will cast the signet 100% of the regardless of your previous amount of boons prior to casting.

This is because the moment the phantasm is spawned it applies Regeneration to you. Which is a boon, which triggers the Signet of Inspiration effect.
Thus you then have to wait 30 seconds to get actual utility out of the trait.

It probably doesn’t really need an actual fix, as the regen is very handy in PvP. But moving the boon check to the start of the phantasm cast could be solution. I’ll leave it to Anet to think about it, but in its current state the trait is a lot more underwhelming than it should because of the instant trigger.

Admittedly I have not checked if it’s just trying to count the guild boost I currently have, as I can’t remove it. But that would be a bug.

Tried with empty buffbar and yes, it triggers straight away on phantasms that spawn close enough to give you regen.
