This is to be used in Ab to destroy Ele's and Monks that spam lots of quick spells. It can also be used against slower spells to drain energy and deal damage. Works well if you have a monk nearby to heal you if you are subject to conditions.

Use Blackout to stop warriors from totally destroying you, you can also use Soothing images to stop the adrenalin gain.
Equipment
Any armour, I find Shing Jea with runes of Vite and Attunement and a rune of superior domination is a good combination..Domination Mask.
A Domination staff that has 'Too much information' on to deal extra damage against your target.
Usage
First, use backfire to deal huge ammounts of damage to your spell caster target. Then use your interrupts and thievery spells to limit their ability to cast spells, this works well on monks. Use Archane Eco before the Ab starts and use diversion on the Warriors to block two skills for 59 seconds each. Use the interrupts after backfire has finished or on other opponants.
Counters
Mele opponants that don't have chaining skills or use spells and you havn't used backfire. Interrupts and spikers.
