[edit] Equipment

• Armor
• Weapons

[edit] Usage

• Against Assassins, Rangers, and Dervishes, cast Spirit Shackles covered with Ether Phantom.
• Against casters, use Ether Phantom, Feedback if they have an enchantment, Energy Tap and Drain Delusions, as often as possible.
• Use Ether Feast as self heal, or to drain additional energy.

[edit] Counters

• Focus swapping can lower your effectiveness, but is only effective when your target is almost completely drained.
• Heavy pressure can be fatal, as your self heal isn't very powerful.

[edit] Variants

• Using Energy Drain instead of Mantra of Recovery gives you better energy management, but much less powerful energy denial.

[edit] Notes

• Because of your high Fast Casting, you could bring a reusable resurrection skill such as Resurrection Chant.
