Equipment

 * A staff such as Morolah's Staff is a good choice, but anything you can get is fine
 * A mask with +1 Domination Magic
 * Runes of Minor Illusion and Domination Magic
 * The best Rune of Vigor you can afford
 * The other two armour slots with Runes of Attunement, Vitae, a combination of both or a Rune of Minor Fast Casting paired with either
 * Any Insignias that you see fit: Survivor if you are concerned about your health, Radiant if you need some extra energy or any other that you find more useful

Usage

 * Cast Arcane Echo followed by Backfire on target caster. Then use Echo and then the Backfire that replaced Arcane Echo on a different caster. Finish off by using the Backfire that replaced Echo on a third caster. Repeat this as many times as possible as this is the main part of the build!
 * Arcane Conundrum, Arcane Larceny and Arcane Thievery are great for annoying casters. Use Arcane Conundrum to slow their recharge time and Arcane Larceny and Arcane Thievery to not only disable and steal a random spell
 * Pairing Frustration and Signet of Clumsiness makes a deadly combination, slowing a foes casting time and making it easily interrupted followed by an interrupt and moderate damage can really help. Again, this only works against casters.

Counters

 * Any non-casters (Warrior, Ranger, Assassin, Paragon and Dervish)
 * A mass interrupter, builds with single interrupts aren't much of a problem as this build has three parts to it

Variants

 * Signet of Clumsiness can be replaced with Power Spike to deal more damage, but at a greater energy cost
