would diversion become more viable if one was to use mantra of concentration?
-long cast time is no problem as interupt will have no effect.
-taking any skill out for the best part of a minute, especially in a 1v1, will be devastating.
-if they choose to wait it out... its 6 seconds of nothing whilst you keep hitting them with watevr.
Soo... anyone wanna duel?

-6 seconds of wanding enemy isn't that bad
-concentration stops interrupts but not the effects; you still take 100 damage from power spike
If you do manage to knock out a skill, it's not bad. I lost 2 skills vs d3k in one fight, had to kite around for a minute till they came back so I could kill him

Interrupts backfire horribly though if your just a bit slow. Too many times have i gone to interrupt Guilt(can never remember whih way round they are) or Diversion... missed and screwed myself over badly...

Can't think of any reason anyone would carry diversion in a mesmer.vs.mesmer duel...then again I can't think of a reason anyone would carry it in the first place {BASH to diversion!}...after nerf anyway. Screams "interrupt/ignore" me all over it.
