Usage

Usage differs depending on the opponent you are facing:

Assassins & Warriors: - Often target mesmers first so these are a high priority, after monks and other damage dealing casters.

• Lead with Empathy to discourage them damaging you - 47 dmg per attack for 16 secs
• Follow with Chaos Storm to force them to move back - 15 damage per second for 10 secs & -7nrg per spell they use.
• Use the damage skills,Energy Surge - 80 damage, Unnatural Signet - 79 damage, Spiritual Pain - 109 damage.
• Wastrel's Demise - 32 + 7 damage for every spell he has equipped.
• Use Wastrel's Worry if they flee or refuse to attack.

Elementalists:

• Lead with Backfire to stop them casting.
• Use Wastrel's worry if they do not cast through backfire.
• Attack with the main damage dealing skills.
• Use Wastrel's demise whenever it is recharged.

Mesmer:

• Lead with Backfire to stop them casting.
• Use Wastrel's worry if they do not cast through backfire.
• Attack with the main damage dealing skills.
• Use Wastrel's demise whenever it is recharged.

Monk:

• Lead with Backfire to stop them casting or use Chaos storm to either drain their energy or force them to move.
• Use Wastrel's worry if they do not cast through backfire.
• Attack with the main damage dealing skills.
• Use Wastrel's demise whenever it is recharged.

A good monk should be able to survive but will heal their team less while you are attacking them, allowing your team access to easy kills.

Ritualist:

• Lead with Backfire to stop them casting.
• Use Wastrel's worry if they do not cast through backfire.
• Attack with the main damage dealing skills.
• Use Wastrel's demise whenever it is recharged.
• Against spirit spammers alternate between spiritual pain and unnatural signet to destroy spirits.

Ranger & Paragon:

• Lead with empathy.
• Use the standard sequence to deal damage.
• Use wastrel's worry if they flee.

Dervish:

• Lead with both backfire and empathy.
• Use the standard sequence to deal damage.
• Use Wastrel's demise whenever it is recharged.

Your primary targets should be enemy casters, but use empathy to discourage opposing melee characters attacking your party.

Counters

• Interruption
• Anti-caster hexes
• Energy denial

Variants

• Swap out Wastrel's Worry with Ether Feast for self-healing.
• Stolen Speed as your elite and Energy Burn in place of Wastrel's Worry is also an option.
• Subsitute Wastrel's Worry for a Resurrection Signet if you need for pvp/ha/ta/ra.

Notes

• No self-healing means monk support is required.
• High energy cost skills are used repeatedly so energy must be carefully maintained.
