Notes

• Foes in PvE will attack whenever they get the chance, making this skill a very potent way to deplete foes of their energy, provided they don't spam spells or other non-attack skills.
  • In case they have a tendency to spam spells or other non-attack skills, disabling those or using Backfire (in case of spells) can be a reliable way to force them into attacking.
  • This allows to trigger Mind Wrack much more easily.
• Could be combined with Famine to cause damage.
