A fun thing to do with Glint it to take the Cultist Henchman along as a E/Me and Arcane -> echo -> arcane mimicry -> arcane mimicry -> echo.

Three Grenth's balances to throw on her at once >_>

Mind Wrack would be nice for this build. Also why not just use QZ since it will also help drain other people's energy. Might also drain yours though but mesmers tend to be able to steal energy. That way your Deb shot is a lot faster with echo+QZ and you don't run out of energy with your mesmer stuff. Then use Mind Wrack to do damage since Deb shot doesn't really have any damage boost.

Your an E/Me, how do you grenths balance? btw, using grenths balance when the enemy is at the same % hp as you (the effect of grenths balance) does nothing, so I dont see how chaining multiple grenths balances together is benficial.

You could do that, yes. Might be overkill, though, you can only drain someone to 0.

As a correction, SQ does NOT make itself recharge faster (I tested), giving it a bigger downtime.

This gives SQ an output of 8/45. That's in decimal form 1.777...
Echo still gives you 1/5, which is 9/45 or 0.2, so the difference isn't that great.

I guess one arguement that can be made for Echo is that you can fire off 2 Debils in succession giving you higher burst denial. It's still questionably worth it.

Arcane Mimicry copies another character's elite skill (in this case, the Cultist Henchman's)

It has nothing to do with percent HP. Grenth's Balance reads 'If the opponent has more health than you, you gain half the difference up to your max HP'. Two casts of it will do around 1000 HP of damage to Glint. If it wasn't capped, you'd probably nearly kill her in one shot, as she has at least 5000+ HP.
