Build:
 * Foes usually regroup after swarming for a while, allowing you to knock all of them down at once with [[Psychic Instability] when entering the fight.
 * Apply [[Wastrel's Demise] and [[Wastrel's Worry] on foes.
 * Rupt their skills to make sure that your hexes deal full damage. Use [[Mistrust] and [[Guilt] to make spells fail immediately.
