User:Snow White Tan/Keystone Signet Mesmer

The Keystone Signet Mesmer uses signets to shut opponents down and assist teammembers. While it lacks standard shutdown spells, such as Diversion, Shame or Power Leak, it can spam it's skills, effectively resulting in the ability to shut 2 peoples elite skills down, use Signet of Distraction often, clear hexes and condition stacks off party members twice and remove 2 enchantments from a target, etc.
