A few of my favorites

Power Spike: decreased Energy cost to 5.

(Great spell but always a drain for energy Thank goodness they changed it)

Power Drain: decreased recharge time to 20 seconds

(More drain More Pain)

Drain Enchantment: decreased Energy cost to 10; decreased Energy returned to 7..15; added a heal effect of 40..120 when an Enchantment is removed.

(Much better then it was I like the extra heal. Mesmer’s are the only class that has to have a target enemy to heal. Add more of these)

Energy Burn: increased damage multiplier to 12.

Energy Surge: increased damage multiplier to 12.

(I like the increase would have loved an adjacent foes lose x amount of energy as well.)

All and all a good buff to the mesmer

AOE energy destruction would me E-surge ridiculous. This change to Drain Enchantment is frustrating. You don't use ether feast in high level play, so why does changing a popular e-management skill to an additional, even more conditional self heal, with dismal e-managment uses sound like a good idea? At two seconds cast time, it wasn't like anything but a mesmer could get away with using it anyway. MOR's hit was sad but expected. E-Burn/Surge have got me dancing, as have Power Drain and the rest of the power interupt trio. Keystone Signet is no longer the game's most useless skill, a title which it has held for three years now. But signet of midnight is still something one can only use in RA. This has been pretty fair.

Wait a minute:
Update - Thursday October 18
Keystone: reverted this Skill to its original behavior.

NVM.

Drain was the killer for me on this update.. hope they change it back.

Aw, no more 6r Keystone Signet =(

Oh well, it still has its uses =F

I'm loving the other buffs. I'm glad MoR finally got hit, now other mesmer skills have a chance.

From a pvp perspective the buff to ineptitude does nothing to make it viable since it only blinds every 15 seconds which still isn't much especially since a MT warrior can get rid of it very quickly and the damage still doesn't even compare to that of bsurge.

With MoR nerfed I am having big problems with picking elites for TA

Ineptitude is good on Splits. With Ineptitude, you get the Illusion line which includes Snares, Degen and Warrior Hate. On a split, these all combine into a nasty fighter that can solo most Melee.
