Mindblast isn't the solution for me.
1- Blade Shield disrupts spell casting. I tried that variant coupled with trap using, and having to click several times to lay down one trap is both annoying and dangerous. Although I don't remember testing it specifically with MB, I suspect MB would be affected the same way.
2- I'm not going to play a variant if it's only to fall back to cookie-cutter tricks. MB is THE crowd control skill for assies. Blade Shield offers alternatives, so I'd rather explore those alternatives instead of falling back to the same old recipes.
