keystone signet build that actually does something

OQNCMcziHd350H9Dx9DIAA

This is the build i just put for test, it allows you to spam heal party on recharge with only downtime being the 4 second blackout on non signet skills after using keystone.

With 16 inspiration that downtime is 4 seconds, you gain 21 energy from ether signet if your energy is below 10 and mantra of inscriptions gives you 94 second duration and 52% boost on keystone recharge.

Means = u can use keystone every 11 seconds and every 12 seconds you get 21 energy from ether signet. 21!!!!!!!

What are your thoughts about potential uses (and abuses) of this combination?

it seems there are too many skills on the bar that are there simply to make one other skill work properly

You have 3 skills there just for energy... let's face it, keystone signet is a worthless elite, and waste of a skill slot even if it wasnt elite.

can you post all skills and attributes? i would prefer to not log in and type in the code or whatever. :<

i know its a bit more work but makes it more friendly for people that arent logged in to check.

Long live keystone bonders!

Also try not to be an assh*le next time KTHXBAI

Elementalists and ritualists can spam heal party with only 1 other skill, which isn't in inspiration. Happy.

and yeah

Quote: Also try not to be an assh*le next time KTHXBAI There is a Me/D RA healer build by arrendondo around here somewhere. I wish I could find it for you, because it is brilliant and everything this ought to be. Also there was a signet nuker build on guildwiki which was silly but cool, and I can't find it either. It used Keystone signet and mantra of signets to spam 5 other signets 3 times consecutively.

Now that we've established that spamming heal party this way is awkward and a waste of time, what should you be doing instead with Keystone Signet? You have a huge amount of wasted potential. You can spam any signet you want and you have lots of energy. Look at some of the signets you have available, and some of the high-cost skills that mesmers rarely use....I don't know what the perfect build is, but any good build that you use Keystone signet in has to be brilliant and original, nothing as pedestrian as spamming Heal Party. (Bonding is pretty lame, too.)

Maybe you can work on that in the near future...

I'm not saying ZOMG THE NEXT IMBA CRAP11111111!!!!!!!!one. But it looks good on paper, you dont really need mantra of inscriptions, and on 10 inspiration the energy gain is still almost twice of that from mantra of recall, on demand, without any initial investment with 20 second recharge.

It's an OPTION. Option for heavy energy task, and I'm just wondering what can it be used for. I don't know, maybe domination mesmer with deep freeze sig of weariness? Help me out.

Also, If any of you don't like my attitude towards people that write posts like: "This sucks coz it does not let me kill my pve mobs in one shot, you fail", well, just suck the sweat from my crack. I asked for input, not feedback.

EDIT: I just realized that its not worth with lower inspiration since of the keystone blackout ... sorry for not including that in original post

A build consists of 8 skills. This is more like the stub of a build. Why not actually post a build rather than a simple concept.

I really am wondering why you even posted this.

It does not makes me popular, but it helps me actually gather input from people of knowledge and reasoning I respect and seek.

BTW: Mesmer is a class directed at manipulation and using your enemy reactions to acomplish your team goals and this is the mesmer forums

@czincz: Just to interject. Throwing oil on a fire only feeds the flames.

Let him talk. The moderators exist for a reason.

too bad none of the mods care about the mesmer forum.
