When fighting the Shadow Army proceed like this:
Cast Spirit Shackles on the Monk and w8 until he's out of energy.
If you're hexed just go on shattering them until the monks/beasts/mesmer/eles are down. To kill the Warriors you need to use Ignorance+Empathy.
If the Mesmer break your Mystic just recast it and make sure you cover the bonds with it.
When fighting Abyssals let the Bonder cast Aura of Stability on you and hex it with Empathy. You should cast a 2nd Empathy b4 Aura ends, so that it will die. Then just cast Empathy on the Rangers.











Skeleton Army:
I only have been able to kill a few Groups here - It is kinda hard to fight them.
Let the Bonder cast Aura on you to have 2 cover enchants against the mesmer.
Then cast spirit shackles to get interrupted twice and run out of the maelstroms.
Then try to kill the mesmers first and kill the eles afterwards.
Since the Warriors end ur stance you can't kill much here.



I was able to clear a bit of the beach.
The warriors are easy, but you have to cancel all enchants when fighting the dryders. You also need a good spawn because you can't fight the skales.

That was it for now.
I'll be on holliday until the 28th or 29th so i can't answer any questions

Fun build. tried it today, and works nice. Altough the rangers take bit long. I was thinking of taking Echo as elite, so you can copy Empathy, or copy Shatter hex for the same result, as SH and HEV have the same dmg

Another great build. I'll try it later, so I'll be able to farm FoW with every my character... Except for Paragon, for one more level.
