I use earth magic because I am a knockdown character.

pionata · Jun 17, 2005, 10:00 PM // 22:00

Im having good time (After tons of tries) with this setup on my E/mo. 12 Air (with min rune), 14 Fire (with sup rune and fire eye), 9 Energy (with minor rune), 6 earth (with min rune) and 5 protection.

My equiped spells are : Fireball, Meteor shower, Lightning Orb, Enervating Charge, Chain Lightning, Melee ward, Aegis, Elemental Attunement as Elite (sometimes changing it with Ether Renewal).

So far I love this setup. Aegis and Melee ward realy are usefull protection for the team, then you blast an enervating charge to weaken the tank from the other team, and cast meteor shower and thereafter chain lightning when they are knocked down.

I also have a sup Vigor, a Fire wand that add 20% chance on both casting speed and recharge and a +12 fire artifact that does the same (for a 40% chance I guess (still not sure if its cumulative)).

So some of you are saying fire/air is a good mixture also

.
What would be best way to distribute attribute points for a E/Me?

I would use the same setup as I use but use one of the most powerfull mesmer skill instead of aegis. What I found out is that Energy is realy not worth the points its costing if you can recharge it fast (like ele attunement). Much better to use those points for other skills. Im guessing Air and Earth would be a good setup also.

I have Aegis and melee ward becose my melee ward last 12-13 sec and take 20 to recharge, my Argis last 7 sec - This way I can cast constant protection.

Well here a question, would an Air/Illusion/Energy storage be good way to spread attribute points for an E/Me concidering that most of them are put into air?

I am currently a E/Me and i use Fire/Domination/Energy Storage to deal out massive amounts of damage. I use the AoE fire spells for multiple targets that are around a tanker and then i use my Me Domination spells to quickly drain the life of single enemies.
Illusion and air are a good combination if they are used in the right way.

This is my rule of thumb for elements

Fire- Damage
Water- Slowing
Lightning- Armor pen, speed (vs. warriors)
Earth- Protection

Hmm, depends on what illusion magic spells you're using. The only Illusion spell that I think would work with an air spiker is illusion of weakness. Be sure to pack hex breaker too though, enemy mesmers love to hex air spikers =P
