Usage
This build can fit into absolutely any high-level squad and does phenomenally well in solo play. It can competently do everything that EV and Bless builds can do all at once. The only thing this build does not do is dedicated DPS via Energy Vampire (EV). In general, you will maintain Link and Blessing at all times while casting EV on any enemy that can be killed quickly. This level of power strength allows abating link to strip 100% of enemy armor while also making EV provide a considerable amount of energy per pulse. It is highly recommended to bring a heavy hitting weapon that can kill your EV target quickly since doing so will provide all of EV's energy all at once. A 100% status chance, rad/viral Tigris Prime is one example of a weapon that will excel at this, but your teammates should be able to help.
Variation
Change your aura and augment according to your squad's setup. If 4x Corrosive Projection is being used, or you're fighting an armorless faction, you can change Abating Link to Vampire Leech, providing even more effective health for your squad.
Arcane selection is totally a matter of preference. A single Arcane Guardian provides 50% damage reduction on top of your combined 94% mitigation from Bless and Link, and serves as a decent all-around survivability boon. For any Eidolons or Orbs, you'll want to use Arcane Nullifier to protect against magnetic procs. For lower level content, where you can stand to spare some mitigation, you can use honestly anything.
If you happen to have Trinity's Arcane Aura Helmet (provides +25% duration, -5% max health), you can swap out Augur Message for any number of great mods including Adaptation for more tankiness, Hunter Adrenaline or Streamline for easier energy management, Natural Talent for faster casts (you cast a lot in this build), or any other QoL mod you might like.
Counters
There are no factions that counter this build, although the abating link augment is not necessary if a faction lacks armor.
Nullifers can instantly dispel all your buffs if your caught in one so there is in fact a weakness, however this is a great build. This is Very similar to my abating link build.
