[edit] Optional skills

• Glyph of Lesser Energy: use this before Entangling Asp for a net gain of energy.
• Shroud of Distress: just as a long recharge skill for MoM to give energy from, use WITHOUT Deadly Paradox.
• Resurrection Signet: for RA; once used, it will count as recharging and give the energy bonus from MoM.
• Magnetic Aura: this skill's long recharge will make MoM very effective.
• Glyph of Sacrifice: use before one of your other skills that have a long recharge. Do not use this on your chain.
• Make sure to use them as soon as they recharge so you benefit from MoM.
• Set Energy Storage attributes to: 10+1+1 and put rest in to Earth Magic. Then equip Kinetic Armor. This will last almost indefinitely because you spam Dancing Daggers. Keep renewing this, as it will greatly increase survivability.

[edit] Equipment

• Full Radiants. Rune of Superior Vigor.
• Any weapon of 20% enchanting w/ HSR 10% or +5e mod. Energy Storage off-hand with HSR 20%.

[edit] Usage

• Cast Master of Magic as combat starts.
• Pick a target to pressure/spike, use Deadly Paradox, and keep it up at all times.
• Start your Combo with Augury of Death-->Dancing Daggers-->Entangling Asp-->Signet of Toxic Shock.
• Repeat chain whenever you can, and spam Dancing Daggers as much as possible.
• Maintain MoM, and make sure your optional skill is always recharging.

[edit] Counters

• Diversion
• Migraine, daze, and other caster counters.
• Spell Breaker and Obsidian Flesh will neutralize most of your offensive skills, considering they are spells.

[edit] Notes

• Notify your team before-hand that you will be the first person to use Resurrection Signet when someone dies, so you can get energy bonus.
• MoM counts itself as recharging.
• This is more of a pressure build, but has some small spike capability.
