Shadow Form

Glyph of Lesser Energy

Meteor Shower

Bed of Coals

Phoenix

Inferno

Flare

Feigned Neutrality

Equipment

• Shrouded Armor. Use a rune of attunement or two as well.
• Insightful or Swift fire staff of enchanting. I personally use an Insightful Lotus staff of enchanting which i got from a collector and upgraded.

Usage

Use Shadow Form right before running in if vs NPC. If you are facing another player then you have flexibility depending on if they see you and target you. Then when you reach point blank use glyph of lesser energy, meteor shower, bed of coals, phoenix, inferno, then spam flare until they die. At this point your shadow form should run out, so use feigned neutrality to stay alive as you run away.

Counters

AoE spells, especially spells like chilbians will destroy this build utterly. If someone interrupts shadow form then the build is useless. Finally, touch skills are not shut down by shadow form, so a squad of touchers can kill you before you even cast meteor shower.
