Weapons: 40/40 Domination set, high and low energy and stuff if you're so inclined

Armor: Domination headpiece, Prodigy insignias, Superior Vigor, Superior Domination, Minor Fast Casting, Vitaes to fill out

Use:

• Hex Breaker on end/removal
• Capping full jade shrines:

1. Wastrel's Worry on mid mesmer
2. Psychic Instability (will guaranteed get the interrupt at this Fast Casting spec)
3. Wastrel's Demise, then reapply Worry when it ends
4. Cry next skill (if any)

• Capping guard shrines:

1. Chaos Storm (should trigger Bestial Fury)
2. Wastrel's Worry or Wastrel's Demise
3. Interrupt Power Shot or Pin Down while Wastrel's is on, soon as possible; doesn't matter which interrupt

If you have to move, stay in range of the shrine so they don't run from Chaos Storm

• Spam both Wastrel's on end/removal to kill turtles/juggernauts, interrupt healer escorts if possible, etc etc.
• Be sure to interrupt RoJ's, nukers, and anyone else trying to take a shrine.
• Focus on disabling enemy healers while you're trying to take a shrine, especially if there are other people on your team trying to take it.
• For bombers, Drain Enchantment, Cry on Putrid Bile if possible, then PI the first skill used at the shrine so the shrine mesmers can shatter them.
