-Why only [Sword/x] and [x/Shield]?
This is for 2 reasons 
1. So you can still weapon swap to proc 'Sigil of Concentration' 
2. So you can never swap at bad time and not have a block available for mind crush

-Why Illusions?
Illusion gives you shorter CD on your shatters, this helps us have 'Distortion' up for every 2nd Pie Attack. It also helps us have more 'Continuum Shifts' for more group 'Time Warps' if you are feeling spicy.

-Why Well of Precog?
'Well of Precognition' Gives aegis for 3sec on every pulse for 3pulses this is the back 'Block' if you miss time your shield 4 block for mind crush (It is basically a 2nd later of protection)

-What about boons!?
For ranged Deimos your in no position to give boons to the group (other than the occasional 'Time Warp') 'Signet of Inspiration', 'Lesser Signet of Inspiration', 'Tides of time', 'Time Warp' and 'Well of Recall' will give plenty of boons to the whole group for the short amount of time you are with them.

For ranged strat your job is to bring Deimos away from group and stay alive, not die and not step in oils. This build is the fool proof way of doing just that.

-I f*cked something up WHAT DO I DO?
You always have Sword 2, and Dodges available to dodge pies i for some reason distort is not up.
Heal signet is there to heal you and reset your shield 4 block in case you have used it accidentaly
and finally your shatters give you the alacrity you need and also heal you thanks to 'Restorative Illusions' trair in 'Inspiration' trait line.
