Usage
This build is mainly meant to kill lonely enemies in AB. They are usually assassins, rangers, warriors, among others. Those are the better foes to fight against because you can avoid their attacks with distortion while you chain your combo. It is common to find these enemies with an enchantment on, and then you can make more damage thanks to Shatter Enchantment. You must consider that if your enemy has more than one enchantment, then it will be harder to kill, since you cannot make damage with Enchanter's Conundrum.

The killing sequence is as follows:
 * If you find an enemy who is using an enchantment, the sequence is: Shatter Enchantment, Enchanter's Conundrum, Phantom Pain, Shatter Delusions, Spiritual Pain, Energy Burn.
 * If the enemy is not using an enchantment, just skip Shatter Enchantment.
 * In the sequence shown above, you can cast Ethereal Burden right after Enchanter's Conundrum, so the target will get slowed down (protection for you) and after 10 seconds you will get 20 energy back.
 * Distortion is very important to avoid their attacks, and you can use Ethereal Burden to run away in case things don't come out well.
