Yes, you guessed it, it's a -9.2 energy pip denial build and what's more, it's quite damaging too. [no stance can avoid it and only enchantment stacking can defend against it...] FGJ is expensive and since enchantments are almost always on the field, you can use Drain Enchantment to get your energy back. [gotta feed Seeking Blade somehow right? ^_^] Final Thrust isn't spammable effectively so all your adrenaline can feed Fear Me!!

By using Echo on Fear Me!! with FGJ, you're effectively draining 6 energy every ~2 seconds = 18e. every 6s. or about 9pips e. degen. Every class will be reduced to 0 even with an energy manager. Using focii switching is useless. Since it's AoE, you can turn the entire team's energy to nothing if it's on the Dias. LOL...

Seeking Blade is great for those pesky stance users and punishes accordingly. You can bring Wild Blow if you wish, but Seeking punishes Wards effectively as well...

Hexes and conditions turn u to nothing, but hopefully your monk can stuff it. Your thoughts?
Nice but if your talking PvP, I will just nock you down with my Hammer W, and when you get up, I'll put you on your @$$ again. Good luck casting down there. But if it's PvE, then I'll just eat my words and say that looks good to me.

You couldArcane Echo your Echo. I'm not sure how it would work on this build though.

Another build based off of Fear Me! I'm not surprised. Pretty nice.

There is a way that focus switching should work against this. It revolves around the idea that Fear Me and other energy denial techniques will not drain you below zero energy. It works like this:

Have one of the big 27/-1/30 offhands, but DON'T equip it. Use your normal energy, until it is drained by energy denial (Fear Me, etc). Then switch to your Big Focus and quickly cast a spell or two.

At this point, your focus is drained.

Here's the trick, once your focus is drained, switch back to your normal focus. Your energy will display as zero, but in actuality you will now have negative energy.

Your pips of regen will continue to refill your focus until it reaches zero. When the focus is recharged your energy display will begin to climb again, at this point you can switch back to the focus and cast again.

Fear Me and other energy denial strategies won't drain you below zero, so your can accumulate 'negative' energy, and switch it in when needed. Waiting for your negative Energy to 'regen' past 0 is the dumbest thing I've heard... Sure Fear Me can't get to it, but in either case, you look at 2x Fear Me! spam vs. things like Malaise and Wither... [my mistakes ;_;]

Ok, so now I've got 2-4 casters on the enemy team [who are smart enough to stand near, but not adjacent to each other] switching focii and regenerating past 0 energy???

Uh yeah, that's really inefficient... [yay for Ward AoE]
