Create New Core Abilities

[Tseison.4659]

Another theorycrafting thread for fun to construct new [CORE] only abilities. Either it is a new healing/elite skill or a bunch of shiny new utilities, what are some new skills you’d like the Mesmer to have? _(Taking in mind our wishes will likely not be answered)_

**[Constructive criticism only and all ideas are welcomed]**

 

When you construct a skill try to be detailed and also create a PvP/WvW version.
