User:Rickyvantof/Me/N Shared Burden

This build is used in AB. It will slow down enemies and render melee targets and paragons useless. This will make it very easy for you and your allies to kite.This build is competing in Defiant Elements' build contest

Equipment

 * Radiant Insignia's
 * Additional Energy would be nice. Faster Casting mods will also work.

Usage

 * Make sure to always have Mantra of Persistence on.
 * When there are opponents bunched up (most likely to be at shrines) cast Shared Burden to a target, surrounded by a lot of other foes.
 * Use Suffering to cover up the hex.
 * If there are any Warriors, use Soothing Images. If there are any paragons, though, cast it on them, since they will be much more likely to be using adrenal skills.
 * Cast Shadow of Fear on a (group of) Warrior(s), in order to make them even more useless. If the group is bigger than Adjacent range, cast it on multiple targets.
 * Use Drain Enchantment and Power Drain to regain energy.
 * When under fire, try kiting (which will be very easy).
 * Use Ether Feast in order to regain some Health.

Variants

 * Soothing Images can be replaced by some more defensive skills, such as Distortion or Illusion of Weakness.
 * Other energy-management skills can be used.
 * Ethereal Burden or Imagined Burden can be used as a more specifik Snare.
 * Meekness instead of Shadow of Fear.

Counters

 * Large scale anti-hex.
 * Heavy Snaring.
 * The fact that this build is only used as support, and therefor doesn't do it's purpose in a small group.
