I prefer the willcrusher myself, 15 en, 30hp, 20% halves recharge....and instead of pesky halves casting you get reduction of the only thing that would realy slow down your spells.

i love the reduced dazed over the halves casting.

a) HCT Dom 20% - yes, its good for Diversion but most of domination spells I'm using are interrupts or "fast casted 1 second" spells
b) Dom +1/20% - big part of domination spells have its max damage at 14 in domination. There is not much difference between 14 and 15..

I agree. Beside the beautiful skin, kaolin staff is total crap because dom+1/20% is useless.

+1 Dom is great. Gives a -9 Energy E-surge which in turn, gives more damage (at 16 dom). Casting time for Dom spells is just as important as HSR in my opinion because you can pull of a spike much easier.

I agree that when the +1 domin. kicks in it's very obvious and useful.

You can easily create such a staff yourself - all u need is staff from Bolereh (Weaponsmith in Camp Hojanu) and mods

Yes. I want as much hp as I can have. It is not so important in PvE but in PvP (if you are good mesmer) you are shortly becoming main target for enemy's attacks. (typical line for monks is: kill the mesmer! kill the mesmer!)

And you can always get +energy with inspiration line if you think you are in need of it.

It's just a matter of preference, but if you got good monk in team dazed reduction time doesnt matter at all. At time it would "kick in" you are not dazed since "long time".

Reduction of dazed is only reduction - it is not prevention

It is only viable if you have 16 in domination. But think: what does 16 in domination mean? It means you have superior rune of domination = less hp...

And again - for PvE its not so important as for PvP. In PvP 14 in domination is more acceptable for me - as I can get 14 easily with headgear and only minor rune.

And because there is no much difference between 14 and 15 - so I prefer to get additional +30hp instead of +1 dom.

This way my mesmer with staff and sup vigor will have "rather massive" total 590 hp. You can add vitae runes too. Any PvP monk will bless you for that.
