[edit] Evaluation

Pros

Empathy is an excellent damage-dealing spell against computer-controlled opponents.
He is good at slowing down enemy warriors. The combination of slowing, Empathy, and his own Distortion allows him to tank quite well.
He can remove hexes.
He can remove enchantments.
Crippling Anguish is used often once he gets it (Dragon's Lair onwards); it is quite helpful, and much more effective than Imagined Burden.
Dunham's skills deal armor-ignoring damage.

Cons

He tends to use Imagined Burden often, which is not terribly useful overall in PvE. Sometimes he even casts it on stationary targets such as Dune Burrowers.
He tends to use Distortion frequently, even when not under direct attack.
He is not a shutdown mesmer. He will not interrupt enemy spells.

Towns and outposts:

"Things certainly have changed after the Searing. Life has become a constant struggle for survival. However one must never abandon one's sense of pride and dignity."

Droknar's Forge (explorable area):

"I much prefer the cold to those stinking hot volcanoes. I think a mink-lined jacket would be a rather fetching way to stay warm.
