1. Ineptitude-Blind the guy that's attacking me AND damage him....what could be more fun?

2. Backfire- Nothing warms my heart more than watching PvE spellcasters do hundreds of points of damage to themselves when they cast spells.

3. Echo/Arcane Echo - It's fun to spam spells.

That's weird, EE only listed Power Block 3 times...

Distortion, Diversion/Blackout (tied), Mantra of Recovery.

No favorite skills, really. They all own. Oh fine, maybe not Conjure Nightmare...

1. Blackout - essence of mesmer in one skill....
2. Shatter Enchant - love to kill with it.
3. Shame - just love that skill - shutdown,e-denial,e-managment,semi-interrupt - all in one hex. Love to glyph it...

Thats why you see it here so much.

I have played my mesmer for 13+ months and is my ONLY char ( aside from 2 packmules)

I have NEVER used that " cop out skill".

Echo blackout..ooohhhh...what a great mesmer you are..LOL.

What does it say about your ability to play if your favorite skill is one that shuts yours off?? Guess you dont need the other skill slots at all.

Blackout....blah

Blackout....blah What are you, an idiot?

Quite obvious you don't do high level GvG. Or high level anything. BO empties adrenaline; a good defensive tactic. BO renders enemy Monks useless for 6 seconds; a good spike tactic. And "What does it say about your ability to play if your favorite skill is one that shuts yours off?? Guess you dont need the other skill slots at all." is really retarded, since you won't be using BO all the time.

1. Shatter Hex - lots of pain in tight groups
2. Power Drain - even if the name should be switched with power spike
3. Backfire - Ya know that Ele boss in Raisu Palace? He's really, REALLY, stupid.

Honorable Mention: Sympathetic Visage - It's fun to see you're tank spam "I've got SV on me," thinking that's a BAD thing & then explaining to them what all those little purple 3's are! (Very good skill for enlightening the ignorant about the power of the Mesmer!)

EDIT: (This is from a PvE perspective, so all you PvPers be nice! LOL)

1. Blackout
2. Hex Breaker (I've no idea why this isn't more popular here)

No 3rd most popular - the above 2 I find 2 of the best skills in the entire game.

Spirit of Failure (best with a warder *earth henchie* or distortion *mwahaha try me*)

Cry of Frustration - its just so sexy

Powerblock - "just sit down you may not continue your fight" ^_^

but to the poster having a tissy over blackout, its a great skill and im annoyed they nerfed it AGAIN, you are showing very little class or inventive thinking - 2 things mesmers excell at - try harder.
