[edit] Usage
- Choose a caster target.
- Cast Migraine, immediately followed by Conjure Phantasm/Images of Remorse to cover it and put more degeneration.
- Now start interrupting spells with Power Spike, Power Drain or Cry of Frustration/Complicate.
- Use Complicate mainly on Resurrection Signet to interrupt it and temporarily disable it (and other Signets too).
- Renew Migraine + Conjure Phantasm/Images of Remorse when you need to.
- If there are no casters in the opposing team, choose an enemy
attacker.
- Use Migraine for degeneration, and spam Images of Remorse for an additional damage.
- Complicate can come in handy especially against Signets like Healing Signet which will temporarily reduce/disable Warrior's ability to heal itself.
- Use Cry of Frustration against spike teams to interrupt a group of spikers using a skill.
- Use Cry of Frustration/Complicate for a general skill interruption.
- Use Power Drain and Drain Enchantment carefully for a huge Energy management.
- Use Resurrection Chant for resurrecting purposes. It casts (only) 5.28 seconds.
[edit] Counters
- Non-caster, or casters with very short casting time and/or non-spell focused. This will disable interrupt but they will still be harmed from you.
- Excellent hex removal will counter degeneration as well as Migraine effect.
[edit] Variants
- Change Secondary profession to Elementalist and put Windborne Speed or Gale.
- Switch Cry of Frustration for Complicate for use in Arena battles.
- For the optional slot, you can put:
- Distortion for self-defense.
- Ether Feast for self-healing.
- Power Leak for Energy denial and more constant interrupt (mainly for HA/GvG if you don't need defense).
- Shame for additional Energy management and Energy denial.
If you prefer shorter casting resurrection, put Resurrect instead, but that will generally resurrect with far less health and energy.
- Resurrection Signet can also be put instead.

- Cover Migrane with Frustration and again with Conjure Phantasm.
- Use Web of Disruption to interrupt any skill. Unless this hex is removed or ends, you can interrupt any skill one more time by casting Shatter Delusions. This will cause additional damage due to Frustration on the target.
- Drain Delusions can be used instead of Shatter Delusions to gain energy instead of dealing damage.
