I was thinking about this the other day. Mesmers have a lot of spells and skills that interrupt and they have a number of effects like shut-down, e-denial, damage, and energy gain when you interrupt someone, but I don't see any mesmer skills or enchantments that heal you when you interrupt someone.
Odd huh?
Mesmer skill that is missing
2 pages • Page 1
I think it's odd they can do a number of other things while interrupting, and if you notice, most of the other classes have a heal while you do your thing skill in there somewhere. Yet interruption is one of the big things mesmers do, yet they don't have anything that says heal on next interrupt or anything like that.
Rangers don't get a heal for spreading conditions/interrupting, warriors don't get a heal for dealing damage, paragons don't get a heal for using a chant (unless that chant has something to do with a heal), necromancers don't get a heal for using hexes (unless you consider hexor's vigor as a heal), assassins don't get a heal for spiking. Point?
Also, mesmers get a heal for e-denial (ether feast), and as you said e-denial is one of the things mesmers are good at.

Ether feast and drain enchantment are the mesmers self heals, but I see what the OP is saying. Imagine a copy of power spike that heals you for 120 health instead of damaging your opponent. Its not really imbalanced, but looking at it, ether feast is a lot better since its not going to be easy to interupt a spell when you need healing if no one is casting one. Just use ether feast and you have an almost guaranteed heal.

But that's like saying that monks don't get a heal for casting a spell, unless the spell has something to do with a heal. Either it's there or it's not.

Not like I think mesmers need to get a heal so situational that it would be useless, but damn, you have one bad approach. |

What I was saying is paragons don't have a skill that heals them for using a chant. I'm not saying a specific chant, I'm saying chants in general. There is no skill that heals a paragon for using a chant unless the chant is a heal, which are different things.

You should probably actually read the skill.
The skills mesmers really need are ones that have to deal with your foes abbility to target.
example: Next spell cast by target foe targets a random opponent other than its intended target.
Imagine something similar with healing, forcing a foe to heal the wrong ally and not the guy your party is spiking.
They have so many options with mesmers that they could have tried, but failed to do so.
