Elite skill variants:
- Fevered Dreams – for caster shutdown and condition spread in condition heavy teams. Combine with Fragility.
- Shared Burden – only if the snares are strictly necessary.
Variable skill slots:
- Damage and Shutdown
- Clumsiness – priorized by the AI, requires external energy support.
- Calculated Risk – in physical heavy areas, unless the team has too much physical shutdown like dual ineptitude.
- Frustration – only against priority single targets like powerful healers.
- Condition Interaction
- Fragility – in condition heavy teams.
- Accumulated Pain – inflict deep wound.
- Epidemic – spread key conditions like deep wound in teams with few, but powerful conditions. Not suitable for teams with plenty of unimportant conditions.
- Energy Management
- Leech Signet
- Drain Enchantment – energy management with enchantment removal.
- Waste Not, Want Not – energy management in areas without enchantments.
- Ether Signet - energy management when energy falls below 5.

- Flesh of My Flesh – resurrection.
- Death Pact Signet – resurrection.
Equipment

- Rune of superior vigor.
- Rune of vitae.
- 40/40 illusion magic.
Counters
