Pros: So far, seems pretty consistent - good defense against interupts and dying nightmares
Cons: Illus Weapon is not the fastest damage dealer. Has not been tested much, so there could be problems I am yet to run into or haven't thought of...
Like I said, untested (did 2 runs, both times i died due to stupid lack of concentration mistakes).
Basically its a 55 build, with a couple mes skills thrown in as specific counters with Illus Weapon for damage. Only drawback is its not the fastest to kill things.
I'm new to the board, so I hope I didn't steal this from anyone - It is similar to the Me/E build on the front page...
Take a look and tell me what you think.

Agro Aataxes
after a few hits and you build up energy, use mantra of resolve & Ill Weap
If a dying nightmare spawns, use power spike - Rend Enchants has a 3s cast time, so interrupting it shouldn't be a problem, you can use other interupts, but power spike only has 12s recharge, so you'll be ready for more dying nightmares quicker using this.
I believe the same strategy should work against grasping darkness. as their biggest threat is interupts, and you are well protected against them
Note1:
I love this build for troll farming out of droks. Here it is thoroughly tested. Against both the avicara and trolls, you are protected from interupts, making farming nearly foolproof. You can replace power spike with another damage dealer since you wont be facing any casters, i use conjure phantasm since you have such high illus magic.
Note2:
If you want to use a 2 man team, this is a nice build, as it can help with damage dealing, and even after the update, enemies will not break agro. I recommend a heavy degen necro/mes
Note3:
be careful about casting spells in very quick succession. If the enemies manage to interupt pro spirit, breeze and IW for instance, they will all still be cast since you have the mantra up, but you will take an energy drop of about 20 pts. you probably can still survive this, but just be aware of it.
