Default Mindbender?

Any point in using this with standard 9 FC?

I use AP as Elite, so keeping this 24/7 isn't a problem. But can one actually notice the speed? Somehow I'm afraid that aftercast is going to delay things anyway so Mindbender won't add much on top of 9 FC.

Depends on the rest of your build.

The limitation of 3 PvE-only skills.
You can do better than Mindbender.

Yes I'm aware of that limitation, hence careful approach. Mindbender wouldn't really add much I'm afraid and considering how some PvE skills are blatantly OP it's better to use them I guess.

Unless you have 20 FC you'll still notice a difference, but you can do better, especially as a mesmer.

What he said!

Better off with Vanguard Sin, "Finish Him!" , "YMLAD!", Pain inverter, cop or urals hammer in an ap bar in my opinion.

I've been running a lot of variations of an AP mesmer for discordway and i've settled down recently on mind bender, EVASS and FH.
I just love the speed you throw out the assassins and I can really notice a big difference. Even with casting assasins promise I can feel the speed pick up and I can catch someone very close to death with ease.

Energy issues may crop up if the team isnt being effeciant with the kills - but I can honestly say running my mindbender mesmer has provided one of the fastest skill-clicking experiences i've had, second only to the imbagon.
