migraine-For 6-25 seconds, target foe suffers health degeneration of 1-3, and takes 100% longer to cast spells.
this will be great to slow down enemy monk heals and once there gone it will PWN mages
conjure phantasm-For 2-12 seconds, target foe experiences health degeneration of 5.
I need to do a bit of damage though if i find something better this can go
Power Leak-If target foe is casting a spell, the spell is interrupted and your target loses 10-22 Energy.
interrupt
Power Spike-If target foe is casting a spell, the spell is interrupted and target foe takes 20-86 damage.
interrupt
Leech Signet- Interrupt target foe's action. If that action was a spell, you gain 3-13 Energy.
interrupt and this takes no mana so i gain mana
Power Drain- If target foe is casting a spell, the spell is interrupted and you gain 1-25 Energy.
you guessed it................interrupt
Scourge Healing-For 30 seconds, every time target foe is healed, the healer takes 15-67 Holy damage.
this way if the monk tries to heal himself a good deal of the heal is wasted and if another healer is low on health it may make them think twice
For the 8th slot i am not sure what to pick mabey backfire where for 10 seconds when the caster uses a spell they take 35-119 d.
I could also use a spell to slow the target by 50% or ether feast
I only have 1 monk spell in here atm so i could put in a healing spell or the signet ring that will rez an allie i am just not sure so a suggestion would help here.
Since i have never played with a mesmer primary before i am just looking at spells i see on the site and so some things may actually not work. I am not sure if i need al thsoe interupts because 4 sounds like a lot to me although i think i could use this against any caster. I probabley made some bad choices in here so could someone give me some suggestions?
First, your attribute points are already distributed over four attributes with this build, so the only healing spell you could use without spreading yourself too thin is Ether Feast in Inspiration magic, which may come in handy if you need it.
Leech Signet has a recharge of 45 seconds, which makes it less valuable than your other interrupts. May work in your build, but could probably do with something else. If you keep it, I say get rid of Power Leak so the caster has energy for you to drain. Four interrupts is a lot.
For some nice damage, Energy Burn would come in handy. If you want to keep a heavy interrupt build, I suggest not using Backfire. Some casters do cast through it, and it does come in handy, but with your interrupts taking up a lot of space it may be better not to use it. You have Scourge Healing, which I think will help out more since you will be able to take out the monks quicker. Shame might be another spell to help limit the monks' power.
Mesmer isn't my usual choice for preference, but just trying to offer some suggestions from my own experience and knowledge of my friends/guildies.
