Guild Wars 2

Mesmer already has plenty of condi options. I think it would be really nice (and go along with the trait line better) if Ineptitude did aoe (600 radius would be nice ) power damage to interrupted foes instead of its new effects. It would give wvw Mesmer a different role other then the current veilbot that it has endured for ages now.

2 problems with this

1 – Removing the blind on interrupt weakens your sustain in a duel by removing a pretty big source of blind. So I don’t like removing blind, especially considering it is the dueling line

2 – We already have a trait in domination that deals power damage on interrupts, which means we would essentially have 2 identical traits. Keep ineptitude as the condition one, keep the domination one as the power damage one.

That said, an argument could be made for updating power block significantly. Namely, making it affect skills that have an initiative cost, and increasing the damage it does.
