Anti-caster

Anti-caster is a term commonly used to describe builds or tactics that work well against spellcasters. Martial classes typically carry skills that prevent spell casting or remove the enchantments used by spellcasters. The spellcasting professions themselves tend to have skills that punish casters for using spells or certain types of skills.

Common tactics

 * Energy denial: removing or reducing the energy casters need to operate.
 * Shutdown: preventing the foe from casting, e.g. interrupts or skills that increase casting time (e.g. by dazing) or recharge times (e.g. Blackout).
 * Enchantment removal: many casters require enchantments to function effectively.
