Equipment

Fast Casting set and defensive sets.
Artificer Insignia or Survivor Insignia.

Usage

Player

Use your signets on recharge.
Use fragility as a cheap trigger for Unnatural signet.
If there are melee enemies use signet of weariness to weaken them.
Use Keystone signet to recharge all your signets.
Maintain mantra of inscriptions to recharge Keystone faster.
Maintain Symbolic Celerity.

Hero

Set hero to guard mode :).

Counters

Interruption.
Enchantment removal.
Anti-Signet Shutdown, Rust

Variants

Can take and spec pretty much any high energy skills (Deep Freeze, Orders, etc)
Different res such as Restore Life.

Notes

You dont actually need to put points into dom/illusion if you are just taking frag/mind wrack to trigger Unnatural signet's condition.

Heros have a little trouble maintaining Symbolic Clerity and only cast it in battle. It may require some microing
