been playing with this for about a week and its doing good...
so This is a Elemntalist build only....I dont use my secondary mesmer profession at all...

This Build Is Called "Volcanic Elementalist"...yu'll see y
Alright...First off the Equipment.
-->Flames Eye (+3 Fire Magic Rune)
-->Pyromancers Robes (+3 Earth Magic Rune)
-->Pyromancers Gloves (+3 Energy Storage Rune)
-->Pyromancers Leggings (Rune of Superior Vigor)
-->Pyromancers Shoes
-->Focus Item--Energy+10, Skill Cast Speed 5%, +5 Armour
-->Fire Wand--3-4 dam, attack speed 10%, Damage -10%, +5 energy

Now For The Attributes (only lvl 19 now...so i got sum attributes coming soon
-->16 Fire Magic (12 attribute,+1 Flames Eye, +3 Rune Of Fire)
-->7 Energy Storage (4 attribute, +3 Rune of Energy Storage)
-->12 Earth Magic(9 attribute, +3 Rune Of Earth)

And Finally the Skills
-->Aura Of Restoration

-->Fireball
-->FireStorm
-->Inferno
-->Lava Font

-->Armor of Earth
-->Earthquake
-->Eruption

Using This Build is kinda obvious but....
1) Cast Aura Of Restoration and Armor of Earth...recast when needed
2) Then just cast all the other AoE (Area of Effect) skills constantly.

I called it Volcanic because, well, fire and earth is what a volcano is made of....heheheheheh.....and volcanoes are destructive like me.

~~Arson Goddess~~

umm 7 energy storage and you are running earthquake AND eruption? Your not running ER so take out aura...

how much health you got, you get a big pile on you and your dead
I mean some nice damage, but Id go Water/Fire with mist form and less superiors. Also an enchanting +20% and arcane echo to make mist form last longer and be able to be catser twice. Then rely on fire AoE

You'd do more damage with simply spamming fire skills (there are so many you can circulate) with more energy storage.

You've spread yourself too thin and have no energy management either.

How is its name Robert J, but it calls itself an arson goddess?

Enigmatics · Sep 10, 2005, 12:38 PM // 12:38

What does his or her name have to do with the build? The best HoH teams have strange names.

Jamski · Sep 10, 2005, 12:52 PM // 12:52

Three superior runes on a "soft target" be most unwise. 7 Energy storage with such high-cost spells be most unwise. No energy management skills be most unwise. An over-reliance on one kind of spell (high cost dot aoe) be most unwise.

It will still kill things in PvE. Hell any random selection of 8 skills and the intelligence to put attribute points in the right place for the skills you are using will kill things in PvE.

Bah... another build with no synergy. How about (as a starter, and for PvE only) looking at Spirit of Failure and Eruption and having a think. There! Free energy! Just spamming damage spells isn't really impressing people.

And if your enemy uses the awesome strategy of not standing still inside your eruption? And if you don't have the time to cast anything else before the Earthquake knockdown is over? That's right; 25 mana wasted plus exhaustion. Weeee!

EDIT: New build is better; the aftershock is a nice followup to Earthquake, and the absence of DoT AoEs (except Meteor shower, which is a special case) makes it more useful for PvP. That said; nothing counters the rampant abuse of your energy reserves, and you are as dangerous as a neutered kitten when you're drained.

And I do hope that Fiery Dragon sword is gold (hint: most aren't), because looks alone just don't cut it.
