Currently running air/mo and earth/mo so I was thinking of WATER since the superior runes are so cheap. This is mainly for PvE by the way.

imo healing can be done best by a monk (as they have divine favor).

why support with an ele?
1. because of some nice support ele spells, u selected the great ward against harm.
Other nice water spells could be blurr vision (hex, but nice way of supporting)
And that would be about it I'm afraid...u could go for some self protection here, using armor of frost, armor of mist and/or swirling aura, however, with some good healing and ward against harm I think this isn't really nescesary...
u could of course go for earth, there are some nice self protection spells in this catagory and some nice wards as well (in fact I think ward against melee+ward against elemental damage would work better except vs fire damage)
2. elementalists have the great attribute energy storage, which gives u a huge amount of energy, making it possible to spam some heavy spells.

however, as I said, healing is done best by monk because of their divine favor. but monks do more than just healing. they also offer protection with aegis and some other protection spells, they can remove conditions and they can remove hexes. shose things could be done very well by an elementalist. however, energy could still be a problem. ward against harm itself already consumes over 2 pips of energy regen (as 3 pips gives u 1 energy per second, u'll need 15 energy in 20 seconds, that is about 2 pips). if u want to cast any other spell, that would give u only 2 remaining pips of energy regeneration.

I would bring a good energy management skill, my personal favorite is ether prodigy, which would give u (as long as u keep it up) constant energy regeneration of 10. as ward against harm would drop out u could switch to earth, 2 wards = 4 pips of energy regen and then u would have 6 pips left for other spells. yes, it messes up your build, it might be very bad self protection and less support, but at least the energy management is better and in the long run I think it will be better.

I'd advise Convert Hexes over Remove Hex, as an ele the energy requirement of it shouldn't hurt too much if used sparingly. Save the people with only one hex for the monks.

I'm not sure about the general usefulness of wards in PvE though, I've only really used them in PvP. From what I've seen in PvE, few people stay in them, and in alot of missions you don't stay in one area all that often.

Oh, and don't take armour of frost with you on any of the Ring Of Fire missions :P.

Armor of frost ends if YOU use fire magic.

Robster Lobster · Jan 27, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

Really? Dang, I missed that description.

Wow, the skill seems alot more useful now...

regardless of when armor of frost ends, the statement about the ring of fire missions still holds. i certainly wouldn't want to run around with -24 armor against fire damage in that place as an elem.

Haha, ah that's what I was talking about. I should've just read the skill description...

You COULD just use Armor of mist if you are doing ring of fire missions.

Seems like a good call in a souly fire magic environment, and besides, the ring of fire missions aren't a huge part of the game anyways.
