User:Y0 ich halt/Build:Me/N Angorodon's Parasite

This build used Angorodon's Gaze repeatedly over a long time to quickly drain the enemy's health without having to worry about defense.

It is a perfect example for what happens when ANet attempts a nerfbat strike and scores a critical.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Mesmer/Necromancer blood=12 fast=11+1+1 inspi=6+1][Blood Drinker][Arcane Echo][Angorodon's Gaze@14] [Auspicious Incantation][Awaken the Blood][Mantra of Recovery][Strip Enchantment@14][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Usage
Before battle, activate Mantra of Recovery and afterwards Awaken the Blood.

On encounter, activate Blood Drinker, Arcane Echo and Angorodon's Gaze in that order.

Now just keep spamming the two Angorodon's Gaze spells. Once bleeding wears off, use Blood Drinker again.


 * Keep up Bleeding, Mantra of Recovery and Awaken the Blood.
 * Use Auspicious Incantation with Angorodon's Gaze or Arcane Echo to regain energy.
 * Use Strip Enchantment to support your party with disenchanting enemies and/or to heal yourself.

Tweaks & Hax:
 * Use Auspicious I. before the first Arcane Echo
 * Activate MoR before casting Arcane Echo, then use Auspicious with the copied Angorodon's right before that MoR wears off to refill your energy completely and to nullify Auspicious' downside, because the copy will turn back just after you used Auspicious Incantation.
 * Drain monks who just set up Protective Spirit. They love it.

Counters

 * Condition Removal on your team. It is very important, that you always have a condition on you. Tell your monk about this!
 * Spamming counters, especially Backfire will hurt you, although not as hard as normally if you trigger it with Angorodon's Gaze. Also watch out for Diversion (if you get a Diversion, it's best to trigger it with the echoed Gaze, because it won't have much effect there).
 * Heavy energy denial can also hurt you. Make sure you hide your energy in case someone targets you.
