I need to get some help

I tryed to get my E/Mo Invinci but I got stuck with the runes and armour. I bought Superior Earth Magic Rune & Superior Energy Rune. Now I need to know what more runes i need to buy and which armour (actually I bought the whole Pyromancer armour outfit and applied the 2 runes already on it). I have set these skills:

- Eruption
- Armor of Earth
- Obsidian Flesh [E]
- Earth Attunement
- Protective Spirit
- Mending
- Balthazar's Aura
- Healing Breeze

Which Armour do I need to buy? And what more Runes? And how do i need to set my Attribute Points? Have I chosen the right Skills? Would really appreciate the help!! Thanks

You can get whatever armor you like best, from ascalon on up.
You need a superior of each part, Earth, Warter, Fire, Air and Energy Storage.
I would recommend putting your sup earth on a new earth helm (again doesn't matter where it comes from)
You will need a -50HP off hand and probably a wand (customized) to strike the nightmares.

I use Crystal Wave instead of Erruption.

I use Prot Spirit, Healing Breeze, Obsidian Flesh, Crystal Wave, Balthazar's spirit, Mending, Watchful spirit, and res sig.

There is another thread about this that has all the details

any superiors will do (ie can have 5 sup e stores) but it would make sense to leverage what you want. obviously some are cheaper if u dont have 'em yet.

Looking at your skills, I'd say that Eruption and Armour of Earth you could switch out for some other stuff. Armour of Earth is rather pointless, if you lose Protective Spirit, the Aataxes, Griffons etc. will kill you fast anyway at 55hp. And Eruption is a meh way to do damage, it's energy cost is too high, given the AoE nerf means stuff will flee from it, and it's damage is pretty crappy as well.

I'd suggest that Armour and Eruption you replace with PBAoEs. Whirlwind and Aftershock work well together for a massive damage spike, without having to invest in Air at all. Alternatively, go Aftershock and Crystal Wave. Unstoppable damage is sexy.

::EDIT:: Also, I'd say Essence Bond over Earth Attunement. I find I get more energy with it, and don't have the hassle and energy cost of having to reapply it.

You can consistantly get the -50 grim cesta by completing the Cities of Ascalon quest from Simon the scribe in ascalon city. I believe I have seen others drop from creatures in the past.

Or you can usually buy one for around 10K. If you have friends/guildies starting a new character (or have one yourself) just ask them to keep an eye out on the quest reward and give you the -50 when they are done with Cities quest.
