I had to use tomes for Earthquake and Balth's Spirit. If you're Factions, you'll have to use tomes for Balth's Spirit and Stoneflesh if you want it (Dragon's Stomp = Earthquake). Currently 9+3 Earth, rest split between Healing Prayers and Energy Storage.

Basically an Earth Tank build with point-blank AE. I use it for solo farming XP and minor cash and Sunspear points - works fine against groups of three lvl 13-15 skales or larger groups of lower-levels. One group usually nets me more than 1000xp. The higher levels survive the AEs, but they flee right afterward, which is good since it allows time for healing and re-buffing. Then another Earthquake/Aftershock usually kills them. If they're close to death I just spam Stone Daggers at them to finish.

If I can get another tome, I'll probably pick up [skill]Crystal Wave[/skill], which should kill most groups in one sequence. Not sure this will work when mobs get tougher, though.

I'm still in starter armor, but the damage I take is enough for HB to heal through.

Oh, this is pure solo, obviously; for missions and partying, I just take whatever I know I'll need for the quest.

[Edit] Forgot to add - my E/Mo is level 11 right now
