How do you get around all those interrupts? Those rangers have Savage Shot, and they aren't afraid of interrupting my second VwK. Should I just have the visages up constantly?

With expertise this probably won't help, but you might try dumping the dom stuff for spirit shackles and pumping those extra dom points into insp. Then you could use famine on the rangers as well, and shackles lasts quite a bit longer than empathy with a 5 second recharge. I'm not sure how much domination you've got since I haven't tried it, so shackles may not be viable depending on how high the duration is, and whether the rangers shoot fast enough to drain themselves out. I've been using an elementalist build there for awhile. This seems faster, higher odds of death I think though.

i dont think the visages affect non melee attacks. but btw, do the shiro'ken people drop anything good besides soul stones? also can you kill razan?

when you group enemies make sure to aggro your enemies so the bowmen are all bunched up then run to them and then when the warriros trigger SV it will take energy from Rangers.

isn't Leech Signet better than Complicate? or too much recast?

Alright, I'll explain:
Group 1
(ignore my build in 1st and 2nd screenshot)
Cast Physical Resistance and then Arcane Echo, run to the 2nd corner and cast Vengeful was Khanhei and Sympathetic Visage, now go around the corner and stay next to the rangers. This is what should happen: Whenever I try this, what happens is...nothing dies by the time my third casting of VwK ends, at which point I'm dead.

I also don't have the energy to maintain AV/SV past the second casting. If I let VwK expire to get the energy from my weapon, I die from the damage taken while casting AV/SV and then VwK. Rarely, I'll get within 10-20 hit points and come back up to full...but since nothing actually dies, it doesn't accomplish anything.

And also something I can't explain: My energy drops. I don't mean that when VwK expires I get 15 energy back, and when I cast it again, 15 energy disappears. I mean, I'll have 15-20 energy, and it drops to 5-10 while I'm not casting anything.

I can kill the warriors by staying behind the wall, but I can't kill the rangers at all. I end up taking more damage than VwK can cover.

I end up taking more damage than VwK can cover. if i'm understanding u correctly, the 15 energy in question is coming from ur weapons. what happens is when you cast and "hold" the VwK ashes, ur current equipped weapon is no longer considered as equipped so you lose whatever mods the weapon has

You're not understanding me correctly. I said Quote: And also something I can't explain: My energy drops.

The energy vanishes while I'm holding VwK.
