Talk:Symbolic Celerity

From Guild Wars Wiki

Any reason why this skill still exists? Saph 22:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Meh, I know it doesn't look impressive, but stacking with fast casting makes for some fun times with signets; Signet of Humility could be casted in under a second. If you go all-out inspiration and fast casting, you can permanently shut down someone's elite with an otherwise easily interrupted signet. It doesn't have any use outside all-signet builds, of course. Something like this:

Signet of Humility

Signet of Disruption

Leech Signet

Signet of Disenchantment

Purge Signet

Symbols of Inspiration

Mantra of Inscriptions

Symbolic Celerity

Just a rough idea. You could throw in otherwise energy-intensive skills in there somewhere, as you'll be getting back plenty of energy back from Leech Signet and Symbols of Inspiration. It's obviously not the most dazzling build, but it is fairly versatile in shutdown. Not to mention +15 guaranteed armor from Artificer's Insignia. -- Mafaraxas 11:42, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

It's useful on a Paragon secondary carrying Mantra of Inscriptions and Cautery Signet. You can remove conditions from all party members more frequently than Martyr with high enough Inspiration and Fast Casting. Granted, this is a pretty limited use, and it would of course be worthwhile to bring other signets. Hex Eater Signet is one obvious choice if you're going for party support. -- bcstingg (talk • contribs) 20:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

move this skill to inspiration magic or would that imbalance something ? (probably not) 87.189.213.197 11:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

It might; mesmers could skip speccing into fast casting and have fast casting Signet of Humility. I dunno, though. -- Mafaraxas 19:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

This skill was usefull when fastcasting did not decrease activation time of signets. But now it is useless. Spending points in fascasting to fastcast signets that you can just cast very fast. It should be moved to inspiration magic.--80.134.69.189 11:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes let's make primary mesmers even more useless. Eth 12:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

hmm it could always be used to improve the shutdown role of a mesmer if its effects were changed. eg one random foe in the area loses 1 energy and 1/4 of a hit of adrenaline each time a signet is used. this skill ends if a signet is interrupted. <lasts 20 seconds, recharge 30, energy 5> i think i'l put this on the suggestions page for this skill actually 86.159.128.3 12:34, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
