Just here to say that earth prayers rocks as an elementalist. Conviction + Mystic Regeneration + attunement of you choice = ele with permanent +6 regen and 84 base armor <33333.

Seriously alot of the prayer skills in the dervish line help to counter ele weaknesses and mesh so well with elementalist enchantments. You can make an unstoppable earth tank with these skills.

Also you can bring vital boon as a great cover enchantment and vital boon + ether prodigy anyone? Simply awesome.

You mean using Ether Prodigy to strip Vital Boon?

Lordhelmos · Nov 14, 2006, 04:43 AM // 04:43

yes im playing around with it now, and running vital to offset the prod damage. Using the combo you can just renew Eprod and gain everything back without having to really monitor your E. Only exhaustion becomes an issue, but this is all theory. I'm playing around with it.

Conviction or Armor of Sanctity + Mystic regen rocks so much tho. Now you can have a serious nuker with some solid survival power.

Lordhelmos · Nov 14, 2006, 04:50 AM // 04:50

just tested it. I ran Eprod to start a cycle then ran vital boon. When I ran Eprod again with my E maxed it cancelled boon and completely negatated the prodigy damage. Stack this with mystic regen and you can pretty much have +6 to 9 E regen, +6 E regen and heal for 180 when you renew prodigy. I will have to look into this more, there might be some good possibilities for stacking a ton of dervish enchants on yourself then rending it all off with prod to gain it all back. Will be a fun new toy, I'll tinker with some possibilities.

Hmmm...looks to be some definate potential here....*runs off to switch his secondary on his ele to dervish*

But why do you need to heal from EP? you should be spending the energy anyways thats what EP is for is it not? Why use an energy management elite when you dont use all the energy it produces. And stripping vital boon with EP before the last EP ends will mean you make exhaustion stack too. Its not too much though to worry about.

I really can't see what this can achieve better than an E/Mo spamming Heal Party.

I just did a Droks Run with E/D:
Mystic Regeneration
Burning Speed
Fleeting Stability
Kinetic Armor
Aura of Res
Conjure Flame (long duration, easy to recast enchant for ether renewal/mystic regen) or Pious Concentration or Glyph of concentration
Flame Attune
Ether Renewal
10+4 Earth
10 Earth
11+1 NRG
Rest+1 Fire

Of course you need to tank the slow sections, but this breezes right through snake dance, no waiting for balanced stance FTW.

You soloed the Drok's run with that?

I've never done it with any build; I just assumed there was too much enchantment stripping for an elemenalist to do it ...

I've gotta say, having died many times trying various Mist Form variants, I'm impressed. Nice build.

I used to until searing flames came about, and dunkoro turned out to be better than every pug monk I've ever played any mission with, except the first time I killed shiro and got on a team with somebody from [Rift].

I just started running a E/D in AB(luxon)... I found that i coul walk up too a capture point and stand there with everyone beating on me and slowly kill everyone. Heres how it goes

Stone Daggers
Earthquake
Aftershock
Mystic Regeneration
Stoneflesh Aura
Kinetic Armor
Armor of Earth
Earth Attunement

This build gave me approximatly +200 armor and 25 dmg reduction, basically invicible(except vs anicaster). I use Earth Attunement then all my armor skills. Find my target and run to him start spamming stone daggers to kep kinetic up then use earthquake -->>aftershock too quickly kill everything AoE. i can usually take on all the NPCs at the capture points and because of the 15 sec recharge on aftershock and earthquake i can spam them (sort of) the only problem with this build is the exhustion buildup. I still have an elite spot though so i might make use of second wind or soemthing.

Ether Renewal for the elite.

And Whirlwind/Aftershock might work as well as Earthquake/Aftershock.

isn't earthquake one of those notorious 3s+ cast time nuisances that you're to avoid at all costs? even with 20/20 setups... 25e and exhaustion too , no?

in all seriousness, in AB it's far more beneficial to everyone (everyone being the sadist in you) to just throw deep freeze around at every possible opportunity. snare the crap out of those AB zerg hordes, since you won't be stopping them.

not sure where i was going with any of this. if you see me in ABs though just remember that you're in for a very long, boring trudge through various wards and snares before i mist off into the distance unscathed, cackling wildly as the kurzicks innevitably lose

There are ways to stop the mob in ab's. lol.
I just luv getting the pm's from pissed off MM's while on my necro.lol

Francis Crawford · Nov 19, 2006, 03:01 PM // 15:01

I wonder whether there's an effective Extend Enchantments/Ether Renewal combo.

Off the top of my head I'd think not, because of how long it would take to get your other enchantments back up.
