Hi Im curious to see what your opinion is in using a simple thievery mesmer in gvg balanced or dual ele spike. Imo mindwrack shatter delusion is enough to kill. If you face the dual ele spike, or balanced you can rupt diversion disables it for 20secs making the other team's killing capabilities worse and in return you get dual diversions in your bar. Or steal their esurge and basically get ur bar back to meta game while disabling their esurge. If you face triple melee, you can either disable woh or rc for 20seconds. Theres other ultilities, for example you can steal crip shot/freezing gust and start snaring the other team and it disables the other team's flag race game. but anyways what you think?? not sure if it can steal res sig but itll be pretty pro to get a free res within 20sec time limit

First off, even if you steal the skill successfully, it doesn't use your fast casting attribute level, so a lot of the uses you're suggesting aren't realistic. I can see it having spike disabling uses, and yes, it can steal res sigs, but you'd be better off using something more direct imo.

you'd only really wanna use the mes skills you steal. or perhaps hex removal/non attribute skills like rez.

It's not.

If you know you're playing the mirror matchup, I could see it working, but against anything else it'd be pretty awful.

Too expensive to steel crip or f-gust and actually use them (no expertise or glowing ice). Not to mention at 0 spec they have a 1s duration.

If the goal is diversion spamming then GoR is a lot better.

Too expensive as mentioned above, and good to rupt only mesmers. If I need smth to disable i'd better take plock or pblock.

You are better off taking an elite skill that you actually want to use instead of being forced to reflex an opponent's skill at a 10e cost every 30s to use said skill, which you are blindly assuming that they have, for 20s. If you don't want to actually USE the skill, then it's just a 10e 30s recharge D shot that also takes your elite skill.
