Usage

 * Signet of Weariness does have a high recharge time, but it could be useful in an energy denial build. Energy is rarely a problem for Elementalist primaries, but most other professions rarely have more than 40 or 50 energy, usually resulting in a strategy which requires careful budgeting of energy use. Removing 8 energy from enemy Monks, Rangers, or Warriors at no cost to you, especially if you can hit multiple targets while they are clustered, could turn the tides in a tight PvP or GvG battle. When combined with other Mesmer skills such as Keystone Signet, Mantra of Signets, and Mantra of Inscriptions, it can severely hamper your enemies.


 * If triggered repeatedly on the same target, this signet's effect is a little less than energy degeneration of one pip.


 * Remember the range is nearby and it has a 2 second activation. You may wish to snare enemies to make sure it isn't wasted.
