Default Arcane Mimicry - This should have been used long ago.

Elementalist who play Nukers, like my self (if I'm wanted...) should rejoice, for now you can use the two essential elites you need to play the best Echo Nuker, or Glyph Nuker.

Ok, so we'll just set it up like this.

1. Arcane Mimicry - Essential
2. Fire Attunement
3. Incendiary Bonds
4. Fireball
5. Glyph of Renewal
6. Metor Shower
7. ----
8. Ressurection (Signet)

Now I bet your going "...OK, so?" Well, look at this, you usually have two, sometimes three nukers for groups that go into Fissure of Woe. You all echo and that fun stuff, but the Necro is having a hard time managing your energy. Well, thats ok now isn't it?

Alberta The Nuker has her line up as
1. Elemental Attunement - Essential
2. Fire Attunement
3. Incendiary Bonds
4. Fireball
5. Arcane Mimicry - Essential
6. Metor Shower
7. ----
8. Ressurection (Signet)

While Joe the Nuker and Bobby the Nuker have theirs set up like this..

1. Arcane Mimicry - Essential
2. Fire Attunement
3. Incendiary Bonds
4. Fireball
5. Glyph of Renewal - Essential
6. Metor Shower
7. ----
8. Ressurection (Signet)

Joe and Bobby use Arcane Condrum on Alberta, while Alberta uses Arcane Condrum on Joe or Bobby. All three do this before said-party is aggroed and start working their magic (no pun intended).

So, Joe and Bobby now have Elemental Attunement currently with they're Fire Attunement to allow for maximized energy return. While Alberta is managing to Double Nuker also and save energy. So now everyone can save energy and double nuke with out feeling left out because you're runnign out of energy.

There is my dirty little secret, and if you guys dont think this works, go try it out before you post back. Because even after Arcane Mimicry ends, Elemental Attunement / Glyph Renewal still stands and does they're job one more time before you have to repeat the process

On a side note - With your Energy maximized and playing as full of a Elementalist as you can, I recommend bringing Aura of Restoration to further your maximization and independance while being essential to the group and allowing the Monk(s) to watch the Warrior(s) and others.

Wait... I think you meant to put arcane condrum as arcane echo, and metor strike as meteor shower.

Yes, that would be true some what. I meant Arcane Mimicry and not Arcane Echo (since my topic discusses how to be able to use an echo'ing skill (this case, Glyph of Renewal) along with Elemental Attunement.

Ooh. This would certainly up the quality of some nukers if they worked in tandem... the 45 (+20%) duration of attunement getting around the monster recharge of mimicry isn't a bad idea.

You can't mimic glyph of renewal though, it only takes spells I believe =/ So you'd only get 1 super-echo attuned nuker of doom

For your 7 slot I would put in Rodgorts invocation anyway... 25 energy reduced to 4? Good game!

Very true, I overlooked that. None the less, one person can carry Attunement and if you have two people you could just use him also.

I also overlooked using Rodgort Invocation, as it's been a very long while since I've had the ability to use that skill.

Pleased that you like my idea Avarre

Edit: And I did meant to add what you pointed out about the 20% enchantment weaponry to have the Attunement last even slightly longer

Actually, you can mimicry ANY elite skill in this game... (the description lied)

From gladiator's defense to oath shot, you name it.
