Currently the utility skill Signet of Illusions can setup sustained-distortion uptime that is too long and creates an unhealthy, unbalanced, and unfun gameplay experience. Therefore to limit the rate that this skill can be abused the following changes are proposed.Skills:Signet of Illusions:This skill's recharge is reduced from 60 seconds to 50 seconds. This skill now recharges shatters based on the number of active clones you have summoned. 0 Clones will reset Mind Wrack. 1 Clone will reset Mind Wrack and Cry of Frustration. 2 Clones will reset Mind Wrack, Cry of Frustration, and Diversion. 3 Clones will reset Mind Wrack, Cry of Frustration, Diverison, and Distortion. When Chronomancer traitline is active: 1 clone will reset Split Second, 2 clones will reset Split Second and Rewinder, 3 clones will reset Split Second, Rewinder, and Time Sink. This will allow players to reset their f1-f2 skills for a burst, if necessary, but force them to manage their skills and clones better to get optimal value of the skill and reset f3-f4 skills. Currently it is too easy to combine this skill with Distortion to have a permanent invulnerability. By tying the functionality of this skill to the number of active clones, it creates a more dynamic, engaging, and fun gameplay experience.

This is nothing new. Fractal Metas and elitism have been around since before raids. It is ridiculous to think that this is something new.www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU1DddeeFVM / www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN1eJ3R_hTcFractal elitism is not a problem, there are not enough so-called 'elitists' in lfg. For t4 dailies, raid comp just makes them easier, but is not necessary. For harder/longer daily fractal runs, "CMs + Dailies + Recs: LF Chrono/Druid/BS/1power dps" makes sense because with bad comp (BannerSlut/Warrior Healer/Condi Berserker/Power Berserker/Mantra Mesmer) the fractals will take too long. Because chrono/druid/bs/2dps is the most efficient setup, people who want to quickly clear fractals will use it. There is a significant difference in time completion between parties that follow a raid comp and parties that don't. Doing fractals at reset, all parties will fill very fast, no matter the requirements posted. If it does take long for a party to fill, farm winterberries.Lastly, raid meta does not hurt fractal meta. Raid meta comp requires the players to play better for a quicker clear.
