Guild Wars 2

Would like to be a part of the Mesmer goodness.

Playstyle: Heavily into solo roaming WvW before I took a 1+ year break. Now back focusing on sPvP
Time: Oceanic AEST most nights

It seems that a lot of people here are missing a key part of the announcement:

Habib Loew.6239:

Additionally, we’re taking advantage of the reset to revisit some of the math behind the ratings. I’ll have more to post on that once we’ve crunched some numbers and made some decisions.

Honestly, people have no clue as to how this will affect future ratings so why doesn’t everyone just wait for the update as to how this will play out before crying.

I run a phantasm build and I use this signet. Even with the current bug I find it essential to my playstyle (even to the point where I have removed the keybind to ensure I don’t lose the passive).

To answer the question of the topic I would say a definite yes, the active is counter productive…… for my build.

Of course this is from a pure WvW perspective so my view is biased.
