User:Readem/Build:N/E Dark Fire

This is a general-purpose PVE build, intended to apply unfocused pressure using fire damage and the burning condition. It relies on Soul Reaping for energy management.

Equipment
In general, energy-bonus gear is useful for riding out periods where Soul Reaping is not triggering.

Usage

 * Keep Fire Attunement up when enemies are near. Use Glyph of Elemental Power to offset your (relatively) low Fire Magic.
 * Searing Flames is the backbone of this build. Ideally, you should be casting it every other action.  To facilitate this, most other skills in this build have a one-second activation, allowing them to fit neatly into the recharge time for Searing Flames.
 * Spam Parasitic Bond. It keeps enemy monks busy, and provides regular bursts of healing.
 * Try to keep Signet of Lost Souls perpetually charging.
 * Use Signet of Sorrow to push a target below 50% health (as a precursor to Lost Souls) or to finish off a target.
 * If you come under attack from a melee class, make a dash to the nearest unexploited corpse. Standing on the corpse will insure Signet of Sorrow instantly refreshes when used against your attacker.

Counters
General spell-spammer counters (Spiteful Spirit, Arcane Languor, Diversion, etc).
