Power Drain > The best non-elite e-management skill in the game, you must be capable of looking for a target though so itr doesnt help too much on a monk
Power Leak > Drain more energy than an entire build devoted to nothing else
Distortion > Simply the best anti-spike stance in the game

As for fun ones, cry of frustration for obvious reasons and archane thievery.

I imagine a poll would be better for this, but then the list of options would be realllly long, lol. Mine are distortion, arcane thievery, drain enchantment. Distortion because you get to laugh at rangers and warriors, arcane thievery because you just stole the W/E's gale, and drain enchantment.. I don't know, I just like the good feeling of energy that I gain from it XD

I love using diversion on a spammer. Empathy is like having another warrior and shatter enchantment is fun to use if you see something like Mark of Protection or Divine Intervention cast.

My 3 favorite mesmer skills as a mesmer (I only pvp with mesmers)

1. Mantra of Recovery (no...in all honesty this skill is quite nice)
2. Diversion
3. Shame/Energy Surge (sorry thats 4 =/)

2 good skills for secondary mesmers: echo, arcane echo FTW!

Echo, Inspired Hex, Blackout.

Echo has so many uses.
I love being Me/E and throwing a Necro hex back at them.
Blackout is the quintessential Mesmer skill.

If there were more signets I'd say Keystone Signet, too. Fevered Dreams is nice but I haven't found a worthy build utilising it. They sound so all-powerful! Powerblock, Backfire, Distortion, Surge, IW, Guilt and most of the Mantras are also favourites.
Conjure Phantasm and Empathy have been etched into me because they are learned early.
