Usage

Once all foes are aggroed by the Perma Sin, run up and cast Arcane Echo followed by SS on a foe. Select a new foe and cast echoed SS followed by Reckless Haste. If encountering Grasping Darknesses, cast Ancestor's Visage on the Perma Sin, followed immediately by Arcane Echo and SS on a foe (Note 1) again, followed immediately by Sympathetic Visage which will be followed up by another Visage.

For Smites, once they've been aggroed, run up and cast a Visage on the Perma Sin followed immediately by Arcane Echo. Select an foe and wait until the Visage's recharge gets to 1/4 Recharging and cast SS on the targeted foe. Immediately follow this with another Visage on the Perma Sin. While this is being cast target a new, unhexed foe.As soon as the second Visage is cast, cast the second SS on the targeted foe.

Note 1: If Aatxes are present, cast the SS's on them instead of graspings. While this may seem counter-intuitive due to the fast attack speed of Graspings, it isn't and here's why: If you cast on Graspings, the Aatxes will still be alive at the end and will need new SS's cast on them. If instead, you cast on the Aatxes, Graspings will still be dead before they can cast "Fear Me" but the Aatxes will continue to die once Graspings are gone - make sure you cast Reckless Haste on Aatxes as soon as you have enough energy after casting the last Visage.

Counters

• An Inexperienced SS.

Variants

• Another popular skill to bring is Desecrate Enchantements, but if done properly, the above build kills all foes in a very fast manner without this skill.
