AB Build:Me/Any PvP Lyssa's Total Shutdown

The Lyssa's Total Shutdown Mesmer uses anti-melee/anti-casting and energy denial hexes to effectively shutdown any profession while utilizing Lyssa's Aura to practically never run out of energy. This build is designed for AB and Competive Missions: i.e. Fort Aspenwood. Although not yet tested for PvE this build shows the potential to be just as effective as in PvP.

Usage
Cast Lyssa's Aura before engaging the enemy and keep it up constantly. Target Mesmers first, then monks, then eles followed by anything else. Start off by casting Backfire/Empathy on respective foes, then Mind Wrack (always use Mind Wrack to cover Backfire/Empathy), then Spirit Shackles and Mind Wrack again for damage and cover. Spam Overload to add pressure and throw Wastrel's worry on kiting or shutdowned foes. Again Mind Wrack is your cover hex, the damage is a bonus you want Backfire/Empathy/Spirit Shackles to last their full duration if u think Mind Wrack may have gotten stripped reapply it for damage and spam ur damage skills Overload/Wastrel's Worry. Use Ether Feast for self healing. Switch to spear set if more energy and health is needed (i.e. when kiting/luring) or to trigger barbs/mark of pain if someone in party says they are using it. Otherwise keep ur 40/40 set for HSR/HCT chance.
