[edit] Equipment

• Survivor, Rune of Superior Vigor
• 40/40 Water set
• 40/40 Inspiration set

[edit] Usage

• Spam snares, preferably use Freezing Gust on backline and Shard Storm on frontline
• Spike with Shard Storm + Freezing Gust
• Inspired Hex their Icy Shackles for epic snare, or their blurred vision if they're dual ranger (blur both rangers)
• Steam Hammers
• Snare Axes
• Snare Monks/Warrior's targets for super-pressure and lolbull's

[edit] Notes

• Should remain used only in low-enchantment removal meta's, preferably against dual-ranger in AT or the current bspike. If it's dual-ranger, make sure your rangers interupt the other Me/E's Drain Enchantment
• If you do face Mesmer balanced, (which is this build's weakness) use your freezing gust as you would have used your Icy Shackles (you have a disadvantage then, but it's not that big)
• If they have Inspired Enchantment, you'll get rolled
