[edit] Notes

• Echo can be used to copy powerful skills with long recharges, effectively doubling the rate at which they can be used.
• Just the same, Echo can be used on short recharge skills. Most notably, adrenaline skills with a short recharge to prevent spamming. Doing this will allow one to effectively spam the skill.
• Using Auspicious Incantation is an excellent form of energy management here (since Echo chains tend to consume a lot of energy); there will be no drawback, since the disabled skill will be replaced shortly after.
• Echo chain this and Arcane Echo to have three or even four copies of one skill at once since some skills have an exact replica(e.g. Defile Enchantments and Desecrate Enchantments) and elite skills can be copied off an ally using Arcane Mimicry assuming they are using the same one.

Anomaly.

Echo's description omits the fact that it cannot copy a Signet of Capture and itself.
