Profession: Elementalist/Mesmer
Name: E/Me Kinetic
Type: Competetive PvP
Category: Tank

Attributes
15 (11 + 3 + 1) Earth Magic
12 (11 + 1) Energy Storage
8 Inspiration Magic

Skills Set
Aura of Restoration
Earth Attunement (Earth)
Kinetic Armor (Earth)
Stoning (Earth)
Obsidian Flame (Earth)
Energy Drain {Elite} (Inspiration)
Ether Feast (Inspiration)
Resurrection Signet

Summary:
The purpose of this build is to tank any attack while dealing high damage.

At the start of battle, cast Kinetic Armor then cover it w/ Aura of Restoration and Earth Attunement. Spam cast Stoning, Obsidian Flame, and Energy Drain on focused target to keep Kinetic Armor alive. Don't worry if warriors attack you, you have 140 Armor!!! Obsidian Flame deals 112 Damage and it ignores armor. If your life drops 75% low, use Ether Feast.

This build is good against casters especially Monk, you deal high damage while stealing energy on him.

Notes & Concerns:
You don't have to worry about the Obsidian's Flame exhaustion. Just keep spamming. The weakness of this build is Backfire since you rely too much on spell casting and Rend Enchantments. If you have Monk in your team, replace Ether Feast w/ Inspired Hex to counter Backfire.

Well, there are plenty more weakness than what you listed; perhaps you should list those too.

Why shouldn't they have to worry about exhaustion? Spam OFlame too much and you'll have 0 energy in no time.

It will took minutes before u'll get 9 energy. And usually the battle ends before it happens.

Hi

Also a note, kinetic armour is impossible to cover, as every time it renews (ie every time you cast a spell) it becomes the "last enchantment cast"

oljomo It seems like it only jumps to the "last enchant" spot if it was blinking when you cast. I thought that if you cast fast enough it would stay where it was.

I could be wrong, but that is what I remember from my last usage of Kinetic

This reminds me of a related point on Kinetic Armor -- do you have to keep holding the +20% enchantment staff each time you cast a spell in order to have a 9+ second duration on it?

An interesting thing to note about Kinetic Armour - if you have Soul Barbs on you while you have Kinetic Armour on you, every time you cast a spell and refresh Kinetic Armour, you will receive the damage from Soul Barbs. >_<!

Graphic Shadow is casting Animate bone thread!

This build's far outdated, if you read the dates you would've noticed.

I kinda appreciate these thread necros because they remind me that as bad as the content is here now, it used to be much, much worse.

Closed regardless.
