It's a money maker and kill sealing ability for sure, but I usually had to lead off with a curse/lucky damnation -svs to get the energy drain spam going. I'd say if the target had good svs I was only landing 1 out of 3 or so. I'm rather surprised that you're being troubled with -70 svs. Are any of the preps you're using cutting into your svs? Or did he land a lucky damnation/curse combo on you?
That said, if you're being hit with energy drain spam then it sounds like he's cutting off your retreat. So you've likely already lost the fight.
EDIT: I can't type.
