Right after the relase of factions I ran this in a spike build, along with an eqinuox ranger. With arcane langour on both monks(mostly boon prots) and eqinuox up it was pretty brutal, but was fairly conditional and overall probabley not worth the elite slot.

Yeah, the problem with mesmers skills is that they only take effect if opponent do something, it's more like of a punishment, where they are clear if they do nothing. Reworking the skill to something like the wastrel's line would make it too powerfull eventually, say, if target do not use a spell under 6...3 seconds, it takes exhaustion would certainly make it a lot threatening, but too strong as well.

That's not a "problem," because inaction is often a very BAD choice. Forcing a monk to either lose a skill for 60 seconds to Diversion or have a teammate die, for example, is the reason mesmers shine, because you CAN'T just stand there and do nothing.
