I'm not quite sure what this build is designed to counter, but I've been in an anti-Warrior mood lately, so I suppose it leans a bit in that direction. With some modifications, I see it serving as an anti-Caster build.

Thoughts?

First of all, pick what you want to counter because right now, you can't really shut a caster down or shut a warrior down. Just slowing each down a little isn't worth it. If your stuck on doing a little of both, at least drop Fragility because it has nothing to do with the rest of your build.

If your going anti-warrior think about Ineptitude, its an elite but a nice skill. Soothing Images, and Sympathetic Visage are nice skills as well. If you want to chose a secondary, I recommend Necromancer so you can go into the Curses line. There are plenty of good anti-warrior skills there.
