Equipment

Armor

Almost any set will do. You shouldn't really be tanking, so +nrg will be nice, but not really necessary.

Weapon

None, you are holding something all the time (at least you should be). If you carry a weapon, don't use +nrg, since it will take longer to gain energy after you drop ashes and don't have energy.

Usage

Keep up Protective Was Kaolai at all times. Put up Bloodsong and Vampirism to support your two single foe channeling attacks. Mostly fire of Spirit Rift and Essence Strike, follow up with Caretaker's Charge, once you feel you are low on energy and/or health use Essence Strike if you have spirits, or Caretaker's Charge while holding the ashes. Wait for party to grab aggro and for opponents to stand still before using Spirit Rift, since it will not do damage before after 3 seconds. Use Painful Bond on any high level mob, or use it on kiter mobs that go for squishes. Your spirits should be closer to the backline and thus easy to get to target the kiter and kill it faster with Painful Bond

Alternatives

Gaze from Beyond or Lamentation for your spirit channeling damage skill.
