 * Use Armor of Mist and run in hitting your target with Ice Spear to lower his health prior to spike.
 * If he is enchanted, use Gaze of Contempt
 * Cast Glyph of Elemental Power then Use Shatterstone-->Vapor Blade with no second to spare inbetween casting.
 * Continue to spike targets, keep chaining Glyph of Elemental Power-->Shatterstone-->Vapor Blade whenever Possible.
