Guild Wars 2

You haven’t ran a high-Chaos Interrupt Mesmer? Only issue with Chaotic Interruption is that the Chill effect is random. OTOH, you do get a free Immobilize, which helps a lot with locking an opponent down for a bit. Then, Bountiful Interruption buffs you while you Interrupt the other guy(s).

As for Imbued Diversion, I’ll agree that its placement does mangle our AoE Interrupts a bit. Hell, if it were even a Master Trait, I could slap it in my usual Condi/Interrupt build. (0/20/30/0/20)

But, that’s Trait trees for you … Anet really made most class’ Traits scattered all over the freaking place. A non-Mesmer example’s the Burn spec I’m playing around on my Guardian, but at least most of his applicable Traits are Minors.

The logic behind anet is really “strange” i feel like when they created all trait lines they randomly put traits in an switched just around until they thought it was ok but without actually any theme. You could argue that BI has its place in Chaos, because you gain additional benefits from Boon Duration. So i would rather like to see CI in Domination Master in exchange maybe for Shattered Concentration (tho i dont know how bad that would be for Shatter builds . The only justification i see for CI being Grandmaster is that you can use it together with BI.

Having BI in Domination would also cause a problem with PU builds and keep in mind if you have to many Traits from the same kind in one Traitline it is bad too afterall you can only choose 3. Btw does Wastrel’s Punishment only affect stunned foes? Or does it include immobilizes too?
