Mesmer skill that is missing

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?

It would imbalance the game... like a lot of smart changes and additions that should be made.

How exactly is that odd? Since when were mesmers supposed to have skills that healed them when they interrupted someone?

i think that sort of skill would only affect sacrifice skills.

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.

The OP is saying that other professions have a heal for doing what they're supposed to do. Seeing as a paragons main thing to do is using shouts and chants, I was saying that there is no skill that heals paragons for using a chant, unless the chant itself is a heal. Totally different.

So basically, paragons don't get a heal if you exclude one of the most distinct qualities of the class.

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

Again, what the OP is saying is most of the other professions have a skill that heals them for doing what they're good at doing (like AoR for ele and mystic regeneration for dervish). 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.

Yes. They also can not inflict disease. Neither do they have an IAS.

Well... we has some wierd comments here but lets ignore them.

We could have an interrupt that heals. But it would be an elite skills.
They are not adding any more skills so dont bother thinking about it.

Jesus. Do you even PLAY guild wars, or are you trying to make random and irrelevant analogies just to be annoying?

There are a great number of skills in various classes that belong elsewhere. You can play 'this concept/skill is missing!' forever for any class due to this - or from the fact that many things were omitted because there was no need for them.
