Migraine

Conjure Phantasm

Images of Remorse

Mantra of Persistence

Signet of Humility

Spirit of Failure

Power Drain

Resurrection Chant

Equipment

• Use full Survivor's Armor with the appropriate runes.
• For a PvP character, weapon sets should be:

• PvP Spear of Fortitude, Brawn Over Brains inscription, with a PvP Shield of Fortitude with a +armor inscription
• PvP Spear of Fortitude, I Have the Power! inscription, and the shield from above
• PvP Illusion Wand of Memory, Hale and Hearty inscription, with a PvP Illusion Focus of Fortitude, Forget Me Not inscription
• The above wand, with a PvP Illusion Focus of Fortitude, Live For Today inscription

Usage

• Maintain Mantra of Persistence during combat.
• Cast Migraine on an enemy caster and cover with Conjure Phantasm and Images of Remorse.
• When Migraine is recharging, use Conjure and Images on other enemies to increase partywide degeneration pressure.
• Cast Spirit of Failure on physical attackers, preferably those affected by other hexes that increase chances of missing, to keep energy up.
• Disable important elite skills with Signet of Humility. Usual targets would be Divert Hexes or Light of Deliverance, as those two monk elites greatly inhibit a hex build's offensive ability.
• Interrupt important spells and manage energy with Power Drain.

Variants

• Power Drain can be changed for anything suitable for the build, such as Gale if needed.
• Mantra of Persistence can be swapped for Mantra of Inscriptions. If this is done, Leech Signet is better than Power Drain due to the faster recharge.
