Interupting monks with alot of knock downs, coupled with Aftershock to do quite a bit of damage.

The weakest/mismatch skill I feel here is ward against melee, I might replace it with obsidian flame, or crystal wave.

I might also change up Earth Shaker for Backbreaker (4 second knockdown), unfortunately both take 10a

Sure you want to risk 50% failure? Otherwise looks good.

Does using a two handed weapon and not being able to use an off-handed item, such as an icon or whatever for + energy, not cause much concern? I am wondering because I have been thinking for a while about doing a E/W with Hammer Mastery, but read some other people's concerns that the off-hand items were just too useful to forgo.

wingedcoyote · May 20, 2005, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Looks pretty good. One thing -- why Gale? If you're getting Air magic, I'd be inclined to go for Whirlwind instead -- it hits everything around you and should knock down a few of them, so you can use Aftershock more often.

uokingdev · May 30, 2005, 09:37 AM // 09:37

ok it sounds great, but what is the advantage of having elementalist as the primary profession?

DavidEngel · Apr 22, 2007, 03:58 PM // 15:58

I am currently trying this build with a few changes to it. I have picked up whirlwind instead of gale as it hits everyone and knocks down some. Also I had a suggestion for a hammer. I am using a vamp 5/1 15^50% + 30 hp break hammer and it seems to work very well.

Div · Apr 22, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

Having gale+shock is a bad idea. You're never going to be using both. Personally, I'd just run 12+1+1 earth, 12 hammer and go with shock+sliver armor or something.

In hindsight, why even run a build like that? The damage isn't nearly as good as a conjure lightning ele with a sword or something, the energy may be hard to keep up, and the defense isn't that good due to low mobility.

Oh, and gale is 10 energy, not 5.

Silly Warrior · Apr 22, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

Well this is in the wrong section...it should be in the Ele area.

So I'll move it then.... >_>.

/moved to Ele area

Enix · Apr 23, 2007, 02:29 AM // 02:29

You have nothing in Energy Storage AND you have no Attunement for energy return. So you are primary ele for... less armor and 2 more earth points?

Not every skill combo complements every class, my friend. :S

zling · Apr 23, 2007, 04:19 PM // 16:19

a nice try however it ends up pretty ugly...
dont try to mix both Earth and Air along with Hammers... Hammers give you plenty of knockdowns already, Earth has some too so why bring Air as well?
if you insist on doing a Hammer Ele I'd go with something like this:
Earthshaker{E}
Crude Swing
Crushing Blow
Aftershock
Sliver Armor
Armor of Earth
Stoneflesh Aura
To the Limit!

11+1+1 Earth
11 Hammer
8 Tactics
3 Energy Storage

this way you bring plenty of defensive skills to counter your low armor while still having knockdown power and even a deep wound...
a zealous hammer will be helpful here as energy is lacking a bit...

Str0b0 · Apr 23, 2007, 05:08 PM // 17:08

I too recommend Stoneflesh Aura. Immunity to critical hits and huge damage reduction. A zealous hammer of enchanting would help immensely.

Trylo · Apr 23, 2007, 11:25 PM // 23:25

i fought someone like that in RA .. i was Weapon of Remedy Rit... he died quite fast.

anyways its an odd build... ive used something like it just with shock/gale and gust to have an almost constant KD with grasping earth... it worked out quite nicely. but then again that really only works in 1v1.

suggestions: drop the hammer elite tak ehammer down to 10, put some points in estorage

unknown1 · Apr 24, 2007, 03:53 AM // 03:53

u should get rid of gale or shock and put in storm dijinn
