Energy Surge

Description
Target foe loses 4...9 Energy. For each point of Energy lost, that foe and foes in the area take 8 damage.

Acquisition
Signet of Capture:
 * Balasi the Arcane (Iron Mines of Moladune)
 * Melek the Virtuous (Ring of Fire)
 * Mercia the Smug (Abaddon's Mouth)
 * Mursaat Mesmer (Ice Floe, just west of Thunderhead Keep)
 * The Darkness (Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings)

Usage Notes
A common combo built on this elite skill requires 3 or more domination Mesmers equipped with Arcane Echo and Energy Surge. With Domination at 14* Energy Surge deals 80 damages (and 10 Energy point loss to the target only) to the foes in the area. Doubling it with the Arcane Echo it deals a total of 160 damage to the foes. If 3 "well coordinated" Mesmers cast this build on 3 different foes close enough one to each other the total damage dealt becomes 480 to each foe in the area in about 4-5 seconds, more than enough to deliver panic among the opponents.

* It should be noted that increasing Domination beyond 14 yields no benefit for the use of Energy Surge
