If you are looking for single target energy denial why not go with echo+debil and serpents quickness/tigers fury.

Due to cast times/aftercast and situational nature of p.drain I don't think you can outspike in terms out energy denial the echo/debil setup and the latter can be sustained much better with a zealous bow.

For multi target energy denial fear me abuse is always an option, but you run into the problem of wards and not being able to pack flourish/echo into the same build for warriors cunning.

I have never found mesmer energy denial to be all that. I'd much rather go mes for shutdown/denial and leave the energy denial to the 2 setups mentioned above.

SoF/EB are good anti-warrior hexes but they seem kind of odd in a half efficient energy denial build.

I'm a mes/nec. Please don't post builds that require met to change my character completely...

From what's been said, just reducing the enemy's energy to 0 is enough. I'll keep that in mind for my next post.

Thanks for the help guys! Especially BlackAce... I love how he chomped me in half ^_^

*shrugs*

Your call but if you make a build centered around something that another class or two clearly does better that seems kinda silly to me. If you really want a mes I suggest shutdown/interrupt with stuff like power block, power spike or leak, diversion, etc.

Btw, it's far better to switch between several monks with energy denial and keep their energy very low then to keep one guy at 0-10 constantly. A guy who can only use sig of devotion to heal is not going to be a great asset to his team for many seconds and should be left alone unless you can diversion it.
