The Building Blocks[edit]

MB eles have shown how effective caster damage spam can be, so we took a leaf out of that book and asked ourselves, "How could we make this more broken?" The end result was a build that brought mind-blast damage (you can, indeed, spec this bar to out-damage an MB ele) and all your skills are belong to us (forever) to the table.

Modifications[edit]

We changed some stuff.

The Good and The Ugly[edit]

The upside is that you're amazingly effective while you're in your niche (earshot of a spirit, holding an item, enchanted).
The downsides are that (1) you're largely dependent on two skills with long cast times (like an ele), (2) you're somewhat vulnerable to enchantment removal (like an ele), and (3) you have caster armor (like an ele). Oh and you have to be super brave and run dual sups.
