Usage

The main usage of this build is getting Psychic Instability on your enemy and a cover hex on him/her ( Ether Phantom or Empathy). When the Hexes are placed on the target cast Warmonger's Weapon on you or an ally and begin attacking. Empathy can be placed on the target, as it does damage while attacking, so the target won't attack. Then just start wanding on the target and he/she wil be frequently interrupted and knocked-down. When the hexes are beginning to fade away, use Drain Delusions for some Energy management. Drain Enchantment can be used for a nice Enchantment shattering and Energy maintenance. And last but not least, cast Resurrection Signet on fallen party members.

Counters

• Energy denial could be fatal for this build.
• As this is a Squishy profession, be aware of Warriors, Assassins and Dervishes.

Variants

• Ether Phantom could be replaced with Web of Disruption for a sure 2 times knock-down.
• Wailing Weapon is an alternative for Warmonger's Weapon for attacking foes.
• Resurrection Signet can be replaced with in AB for Ether Feast for a bit self-healing.

Notes

• This build can be lethal in teams with fast attacking members, such as Assassins and Warriors.
