If you are really bored you can go N/Me and kill those annoying Oni. Kind of difficult, and I haven't done it in awhile so certain skill changes/AI changes might make it nearly impossible now. But its funny to watch them double strike like crazy and do no damage :-P

I tried the build using only the skills mentioned by the poster, but being a clothy, I died quickly whenever he would get through the blindness. Plus, Signet of Midnight lasts the exact duration of its recharge time, which lead to him hitting me every time i was recasting SoM.

So I got around this by using Blinding Flash whenever the blindness icon on my effects pain began flashing. This allows for another cast of SoM, without Sskai coming unblind for even a second.

Also, I used Aura of Regen to restore health from the few hits that do get through.

Great Framework for a build though. Soloed him three times already before I had to leave for work.

Build
------

Signet of Midnight
Empathy
Ignorance
Blinding Flash
Spirit of Failure
Mantra of Resolve (not really needed with the build though)
Ennervating Charge (for extra dmg when I have no other spells to cast)
Aura of Restoration

slight mod on ranger build: you can swap ignorance out for spirit shackles and just bring primal echoes by the way. It's much less energy and timing critical. Just recast spirit when it recharges. Also keeps the spam attack skills to a minimum so he's just swinging.
@ Mystyr likely you can replace mantra of resolve with mantra of inscriptions? that way the sig recharges a little faster even at minimal inspiration.... Just a thought.

^^ Good Idea.

I'll give it a try. Maybe save a little Energy that way
