Healing Whisper

Resurrection Signet

[edit] Equipment

• Best energy armor
• A +5 energy sword of Enchanting, shield, a Tactics shield with inherent +45 health when enchanted, since you have IoW

[edit] Usage

Cast Illusion of Weakness ASAP, and right before the battle cast IW and Channeling. Then cast Conjure Phantasm on you target and start whacking him up real good. Heal when necessary. Rez when necessary. Recast IoW if it got taken down and you're away from battle (in AB situations) Recast IW and Channeling when you have to (Channeling is always last, so it can cover).

[edit] Counters

Lots of Enchantment removal, since enemy will have 3 enchants up.

[edit] Variants

Replace IoW with another Mesmer hex to soften enemy and give enemy monk a hard time. Replace shield with a focus which gives +45 health while enchanted, +5 armor while enchanted.
