User:Ghost1/Builds/Panic

Bane of bonders, this mesmer can overwhelm a single spellcaster with energy denial and shutdown skills. Warriors too will face serious resistance, as this mesmer can take out their energy completely and lower the efficiency of their Healing Signet.

 * Optional can be replaced with any resurrection skill of your choice, and should you go secondary monk, there's plenty to choose from. Leech Signet and Drain Delusions are your best non-res options here.
 * Swap out Signet of Disruption for Empathy or Drain Delusions.
 * Secondary rangers should take Primal Echoes.

Equipment

 * Radiants, highest vigor, two runes of attunement suggested.
 * Any req domination set, +20 staff recommended.

Usage
Target a spellcaster, monks usually, and begin with Panic, quickly casting Ether Phantom as a cover. This works to deny almost all energy regeneration, and through the use of Wastrel's Worry, force them to either take damage or burn their energy. Diversion should be used when ever it recharges, followed quickly with Wastrel's again, to give that 'damned if you do, damned if you don't -effect.

Counters

 * Anti-spam skills.
 * Dazed
 * Mass-hex removal.

Variants

 * Elementalist secondary brings Glyph of Lesser Energy.
