Mark of Subversion

Issue

A cool spell but lacks potency. The only time it steals life from the priority target is when the target is a Monk trying to heal himself. Otherwise it's kinda meh.

Suggestion

Make it steal life from the failed spell's target instead of the caster of the spell. This would be more potent because it would hit someone at low health much more often. Also lower the recharge time to 20 seconds.

Issue

Recharge is way too high when comparing this to skills like Mistrust.

Suggestion

Reduce recharge to 20 seconds. Consider lowering damage to the same as Mistrust has. Also consider lowering cast time to 1 second as Mesmers have Fast Casting and Necromancers don't. Also might be more in place in Curses.
