-The [[gww:Visions of Regret|Visions of Regret]] Mesmer uses the synergy between Visions of Regret and [[gw:Wastrel's Worry|Wastrel's Worry]] to pressure both melee and casters. Visions of Regret punishes foes for using skills while Wastrel's Worry punishes them for not doing so, creating a lose-lose situation.
