[edit] Equipment

• A 40%/40% Faster Casting / Faster Recharge Domination wand and focus set
• +5e/+30hp Axe, Sword or Spear and +30hp/20% Faster Recharge Domination focus set
• +5e/+30hp Axe, Sword or Spear and +30hp Shield set
• A 40%/20% Faster Casting / Faster Recharge, +15/-1e Healing Prayers wand and focus set for use with Resurrection Chant

[edit] Usage

• Maintain Mantra of Recovery whenever possible.
• Use Diversion on anyone spamming their skills. Blinding Surge is the most common target for Diversion, although fire elementalists and necros are also frequently easy targets.
• Use Power Leak whenever possible to shut down casters (including monks). It is often a more powerful tool against non-spamming casters than Diversion.
• Use Drain Enchantment and Power Drain to recover your Energy. Try to Drain particularly useful enchantments such as elementalist attunements.
• Shatter Enchantment and/or Shame/Diversion is your contribution to a group spike; Shame/Divert a monk, shatter the target.

[edit] Counters

• Interrupts.
• Maintained Holy Veil on high priority Diversion/Shame targets.
• Physical pressure (this build has no self-defense).

[edit] Variants

• Replace Shame with Draw Conditions if needed.
• Mirror of Disenchantment instead of one of the enchantment removals for removing Aegis (note that if Drain Enchantment is dropped energy management can become an issue; the build is certainly playable though, as long as Diversion is not spammed on recharge and Power Drain is never missed)
• Glyph of Lesser Energy for Elementalist secondaries, cast before high-energy skills to alleviate the stress of Energy.
• Blackout instead of Power Leak. Note that Blackout is not a spell, and is therefore not affected by Mantra of Recovery.
• Energy Burn for damage.
• Death Pact Signet or Flesh of My Flesh instead of Resurrection Chant.
• Ward Against Melee for defense if using an Elementalist secondary.
• Inspired Enchantment or Revealed Enchantment instead of Drain Enchantment
