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. This is an elite skill.

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 16 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.
