Lemme know. I've never really played a mesmer, more of a necro guy, but I think this build has promise(least on paper).

Domination: 10 (+2)
Inspiration: 9 (+1)
Blood magic: 9
Fast Casting: 8

D- Backfire: (15e, 20sec)For 10 seconds, whenever target foe casts a spell that foe takes 35-119 damage

D- Shame: (10e, 30sec)For 4-9 seconds, the next time target foe casts a spell on an ally, the spell fails and you steal 5-12 Energy from that foe, and Shame ends.

D -Wastrel's Worry: (5en, 1sec) After 3 seconds, target foe takes 8-53 damage. Wastrel's Worry ends prematurely if that foe uses a skill.

I -Powerleak: (10e, 20sec)If target foe is casting a spell, the spell is interrupted and your target loses 10-22 Energy.

I -Power Drain: ( 5en, 25sec)If target foe is casting a spell, the spell is interrupted and you gain 1-25 Energy

B- Life Transer: ( 10en, 30sec)For 6-11 seconds, target foe suffers health degeneration of 3-7, which you gain as health regeneration.

B- Life Siphon: (10en, 2sec)For 12-22 seconds, target suffers health degeneration of 1-3, and you gain health regeneration of 1-3.

B - shadow strike: Target foe takes 12-41 shadow damage. If that foe's health is above 50%, you steal 12-41 health.

Now question...
Some people say that blood is power would be a better skill to bring than life transfer. Looking for some feedback on that thought, and on the build. Thanks!

Looks like a solid anti-caster build.

I would personally take Rend Enchantment over Life Transfer. While Life Transfer is nice, taking out your target's enchantments to allow your Tanks to bash him/her is probably better. Since Life Siphon have low recharge time, you can spam with it as long as your energy level keeps up.

Using Rend Enchantment would of course means you have to put some points into Curses. Fast casting is not very useful with your current build anway, so you can lower it and put some points into Curses?

BiP is definately a better Elite the Life Transfer. A very very nice support-role spell.
