[edit] Equipment

  • Radiant Armor
  • 20/20 Water wand and offhand

[edit] Usage

This build uses the interruption effect from Spinal Shivers while dealing heavy cold damage. This is different from regular interrupt builds because it does not interrupt “on command”. The interruptions are unpredictable and therefore you can interrupt spells and skills that are harder to “catch” otherwise like Reversal of Fortune.

  • Precast your enchantments before battle.
  • Cast Glyph of Lesser Energy then Spinal Shivers on called target, preferably a caster.
  • If you think the hex needs to be covered fast use Freezing Gust, otherwise use Shatterstone, followed by Freezing Gust.
  • Use Ice Spear for more constant damage, and a chance to interrupt every second.
  • Renew enchantments as needed, same goes for Spinal Shivers

[edit] Counters

  • Usual caster counters, Backfire, Diversion, energy denial.
  • Excessive hex removal or hex counters like Hex Breaker and Holy Veil.
  • You have no good self heal so excessive damage or degeneration will kill you fast.

[edit] Variants

  • Adding in Vapor Blade for more damage. Beware though, Vapor Blade costs more, has longer casting time and cannot act as a cover hex nor a snare.
  • Switching out Ice Spear for another Water Magic attack or snare.
  • Glyph of Restoration could replace Aura, but then you won’t be able to use it as a cover enchantment.

[edit] Notes

Another player on your team with a cold weapon will greatly increase the number of interrupts but also be heavy on your energy!
