i agree. and i think the illusion class should be looked at too.

Hehe, illusion got kinda shafted with the change to Mantra of Persistance.

I love being a mesmer, but the high cost of spells and long regen, plus the lousy primary attribute and crummy energy management makes it less fun. Plus the fact that mesmer elites are TERRIBLE.

it makes it very difficult to battle outside of 1 on 1 situations (a mesmer can defeat any class 1 on 1, imo)

Here's my beef:
Elementalists have energy regen from their primary attribute

As long as he knows who the person is ahead of time, and takes the right skills...

But isn't that sort of true for all profs?

I've gone into battle plenty of times with only Domination skills on.
Guilt and Shame can easily keep my energy above 25%, whilst simultaneously draining the enemy. They're good skills.

Epinephrine, you're right. It is a lot more interesting to take mesmers as a secondary than as a primary. You'll get the Energy managing of your primary plus the one from Inspiration magic. Fast Casting is powerful, but to my mind not so much. Mesmers has already quick-casted interrupts (Power Drain/LEak/Block), so.... Excepted for particular situations (like Resmers), I think it simply the worst primary attribute of all classes, (comparatively I mean, it has its uses, but others primary are more interesting).
