That's a hard choice to be made...

Let's say:
1) Wastrel's Worry
2) Echo
3) Ineptitude/Crippling Anguish for our friends the Warriors!

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Best:

Cry of Frustration (#%!&)
Shame (healing your pals? o rly?)
Guilt (casting spells at me? o rly?)

Worst:

Lyssa's Balance (boring skill)
Inspired Enchantment (I don't want someone else's mending)
Illusion of Haste (not that useful)

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 thats fantastic

1.) Power Return! (So spamable almost makes me think I'm playing a Ranger!)

2.) Shatter Hex (dunno how I got stuck on this one, but I like it)

3.) Energy Drain (not really fair, cause I use it more on my monk than my mesmer)

Ineptitude - definitely the best illusion elite. Blind + Huge Damage, this even work on none melee characters, as caster still use their wand sometimes.

Clumsiness - very similar to ineptitude

Conjure Nightmare - nice -8 degen, cost too much of energy though, but I like the hex animation.

When playing a mesmer devoted to caster shutdown:

Blackout
Diversion
Shame

When playing a mesmer devoted to melee-shutdown:

Ineptitude [Elite]
Clumsiness
Spirit of Failure

When playing a Monk:

Mantra of Recall [Elite]
Energy Drain [Elite]
Power Drain
Drain Enchantment

(Ok, so that's 4, but who's counting )


There are a ton of playable mesmer skills, but they're all very role-specific, so it's very hard to pick just 3, even for a single build.

Hmm... ONLY 3?

1) Distortion
2) Mindwrack
3) Ineptitude*

* Funny how the damage buff made Ineptitude from mediocre to a staple Mesmer elite and def one of the best.

Inepti + Clumsi can easily kill a Frenzied War now. They couldn't do that before. Afterall Inepti was simply a Clumsi with a 10s blind and twice the recharge.
