Has anyone ever heard of a build for soloing with an Earth Nuker, class E/R?

I've tried for a while to find a competent build, and I'm having a little difficulty.

If anyone could tell me of a link, or even just tell me what skills to take, I'd be forever grateful.

Thanks in Advance

"Earth Nuker" is an oxymoron, IMO.

But look for the Mr. Frosty thread, and the "invincimentalist" page on Guildwiki.

The basic idea is Serpent's Quickness to reduce recharge times and hence allow you to permanently keep up either Obsidian Flesh or Mist Form.

Hey, thanks for the link. I have set up a pretty nice build for farming the mergoyles and bog skales to the north of Gates of Kryta.

Attributes:
Earth- 16=12+3+1
Energy Storage- 7
Wilderness Survival- Leftover

Skills to take:
Earth Attunement
Stone Daggers
Eruption
Stoning
Aftershock
Aura of Restoration
Serpent's Quickness
Storm Chaser

Just maintain a constant AoR on you and put on Storm Chaser so you can get some energy from the damage being dealt you by the mergoyles. When your health is down a little unleash a nice Stoning, or perhaps an Eruption. Stone Daggers work great for spamming good damage. When used in conjunction with Serpent's Quickness, Stone Daggers are quite formidable.

I did huge amounts of farming there with a simple fire build.

But the Bog Skale Blighters were tough to deal with en masse.

I also took a Level 11 MM with just Ascalon armor up a level soloing there.

It's a great place to farm if you're a caster with some AoE.

However, I don't understand the Stoning in your build. Who do you need to get Weakness onto?

Hmm farmed bog scales for some scale fins...Since I'm e/me my secondary halped a lot (and nuking too)! When I changed build to geo-ward (+pack some offensive fire-->Conjure flame+rodgort spam is not bad at all) I found out I can actually tank if I took care (and capped MistForm in the meantime).

I would just like to make up a build for PvP that's not airspike or warder....constantly trying to produce something with all those burning effects...trouble being they don't stack (otherwise I'd have a great burn-condition build coupled with /me) and don't last anywhere long enough.

Hi

Invincimentalist on wikipedia iant the best, as if you keep obsidian flesh up, youll have no way of having the energy to keep kinetic up. To do that build you need some sort of battery, (in which case it becomes a very nice duo build).

If you want a solo build, your best to go down the lines of earth tank, My build, which i use for hydras mainly, but can also do most of the scarabs if i want to, + do the trolls, and any oteh opponants that dont strip enchants/deal lots of armour ignoring damage is:

stone daggers
aura of restor
earth attunement
armour of earth
kinetic armour
ether renewal
crystal wave
(1 more skill depending on what you r facing, eg take warrior secondary and baanced if going to a kd heavy area, mesmer and mantra of resolve if going to a distract heavy area, or just aftershock if you want extra damage)

the Invincimentalist on Wiki doesnt use obsidian flesh or kinetic armor - the Mr.Frosty thread I posted does, but you manage your energy with Storm Chaser (+4 everytime your hit with elemental damage)

for mergoyles and bog skales I just use a standard fire build, they die after a couple of hits (and you dont need MS)

Actually, the invincimentalist page on Guildwiki mentions that you can substitute Obsidian Flesh for Mist Form, even if it doesn't give the rest of an Earth build.
