Notes

Unlike "conventional" interrupt skills like Power Drain, Guilt preemptively prevents a spell from being cast. In this case, Guilt prevents players from casting spells that would hurt or hinder you or your allies. This can be very useful for when an enemy player is casting spells too quickly to interrupt, or when it is absolutely necessary to stop a player's next spell without risking a missed interrupt. Guilt can punish a player for attempting to damage or hex you without requiring you to time a split-second interrupt.
This skill combines well with Wastrel's Worry.

-Unlike "conventional" interrupt skills like [[Power Drain]], Guilt preemptively prevents a spell from being cast.  In this case, Guilt prevents players from casting spells that would hurt or hinder you or your allies.  This can be very useful for when an enemy player is casting spells too quickly to interrupt (many Monk and Mesmer spells cast very quickly), or when it is absolutely necessary to stop a player's next spell without risking a missed interrupt.  Guilt can severely punish a player for attempting to damage or hex you without requiring you to time a split-second [[Power Leak]] (or similar spell).

+*This skill combines well with [[Wastrel's Worry]].
-It should be noted that Guilt causes a spell to fail rather than interrupting it, so skills like [[Mantra of Resolve]] and [[Glyph of Concentration]] do not protect against it. That also means that since the spell has not been cast, it is still charged, ready to be recast right away.
-Note that Guilt also steals energy from the target, but only if the player actually casts an offensive spell.  Often, Guilt will entirely discourage your target from casting spells at all for its duration.  Other times, a player will be forced to cast a spell and have to choose a cheap spell to waste.  In any scenario, Guilt ends in your favor.  Keep in mind that Guilt will not prevent players from using Signets or attacking you, or healing allies. Also, this skill works great with [[Wastrel's Worry]].
-If you need to stop a healing spell, try [[Shame]].
