To celebrate my brand new 15k geomancer armour, I wanted to use as many geomancy spells as possible in PvE. Unfortunately I can't find a proper build -can someone suggest me a build that will use:

OR earth magic 100% (but how do I deal good damage, considering that I do not have the elite skill known as Energy Glyph?)

OR earth magic + fire magic

OR earth magic + beast mastery

OR earth magic + fire magic + beast mastery (ok that's unlikely...)

Please, give me suggestions? <(_ _)>

I think Earth + Air would be a good build.

Enervating Charge + Stoning = Nice damage + knockdown

Earth has some great armors and wards. And you can get some good damage from spells like Obsidian Flame, Aftershock, and Crystal Wave. Eruption was nice, with the blind and all, but it may have gotten nerfed beyond usefulness with the latest change to Mob AI and AoE's.

Air however has some nice stuff to compliment earth, including several knockdowns to make your Aftershock more effective.

Some time I want to try building a tank mage with Obsidian Flesh, Kinetic Armor, Ward Against Foes (to stop things from fleeing AoE's) and several of the previously mentioned damage skills.

You can always go earth/water and spam wards and water slowing spells.

Every earth only ele I've ever ran had glyph of energy, kinda necessary. If you already have 15k armor, you shouldn't have any trouble getting it from mineral springs.

Glyph of energy, Earthquake, aftershock, crystal wave, obsidian flame is a very nice bit of damage, though since this is pve, you'd probably wanna drop obsidian flame for more wards or something. Problem with this is, since monsters run you won't be able to get the crystal wave in after your aftershock, oh well.
