As the topic says, I'm experimenting with this build.

Skills:

Debilitating shot
Savage shot
Distracting shot
Frozen soil / Dryder's defenses
Troll unguent
Energy drain {E}
Energy tap
Res signet

I'm still experimenting with points distribution, but so far it's something along the lines of:
Inspiration magic 10
Wilderness survival 12 + 1 + 1
Expertise 8 + 1

Note that this build does not do any damage at all . The idea is to use debilitating shot as frequently as possible (its recharge is just 5 sec), as well as the two interrupts. Of course, the two energy stealing skills complement the heavy energy cost as well as deny energy to enemy casters. Frozen soil is there for support, and I'm not sure if I should replace it with a more defensive skill (dryder's defenses would greatly increase survivabilty). I'm using the ascalon bow from piken square collector for the +5 energy and a druid's set (though studded leather would probably work better). This build has proven excellent against enemy casters, especially monks without spellbreaker .

I would appreciate any argumented comments and suggestions...
