Attributes and Skills
<pvxbig> [build prof=Mes/any Ins=12+1+1 Ill=10+1 Fas=8+1][Conjure Nightmare][Optional][Ether Phantom][Drain Delusions][Ether Lord][Lyssa's Aura][mantra of persistence][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment
- Full Survivor armor, and a Superior Vigor rune.
- 40/40 Inspiration and Illusion sets.
- Defensive set with -5e.
- High energy set.
Usage
- In the beginning of the fight, cast Lyssa´s Aura. If Lyssa´s Aura gets stripped, recast it as soon as possible.
- Spam Conjure Nightmare to apply degen and keep up the Mantra all the time to enhance your pressure.
- While spamming the degeneration, use your energy denial on either the enemy healer or other energy-reliant priority targets. Do this by casting Ether Phantom and immediately remove it with Drain Delusions. The enemy will lose 10 energy and you will have a net gain of 10 energy.
- Ether Lord is a very strong energy denial and due to Lyssa´s Aura´s amazing energy management, you can use it often. Switch to your negative set to counteract energy loss.
- Use Distortion to piss off physicals and avoid interrupts.
Counters
- General caster hate.
- Getting disenchanted all the time will slow you down, but due to your other energy managing skills you will still be able to hex your enemies.
Variants
For filling the optional slot or in place of any other non-elite skill, some possibilities are:
- Conjure Phantasm or Shrinking Armor to be able to spread degeneration on ALL opponents or to cover Conjure Nightmare.
- Distortion instead of the Mantra. The energy loss is no problem with Lyssa´s Aura.
- Signet of Humility for general annoyance.
- Spirit of Failure, Spirit Shackles or Clumsiness to annoy attackers. Soothing Images will neutralize adrenaline users.
- An enchantment removal such as Feedback or Discharge Enchantment. The hexes in the build would allow for Discharge Enchantment to rapidly remove enchantments.
- Ether Feast for a strong self heal that also drains energy.
- You can bring Web of Disruption for a double interrupt when paired with Drain Delusions.
- Phantom Pain or Accumulated Pain if you want a Deep Wound. Phantom Pain's DW can be timed through the use of Drain Delusions.
- Imagined Burden, Ethereal Burden, and Kitah's Burden to snare for long periods in combination with Mantra of Persistance.
- A Hard Rezz such as Flesh of my Flesh or Death Pact Signet
- Rend Enchantments as a spike assist
Notes
Drain Delusions has been updated. It gives 4 energy instead of 2.
