 Earth Shaker
 Earthquake
 Aftershock
 Kinetic Armor
 Obsidian Flame
 Aura of Restoration
 Bonetti's Defense
 Armor of Earth
Attributes:
Hammer: 5
Earth Magic: 16 (13 + superior rune)
Energy Storage: 16 (13 + superior rune)
Tactics: 8
Weapon: Req 5 Hammer, regardless of the damage with a + Health mod. Possibly consider adding a Zealous mod.
This build is an Elemantalist version of a KD/AS hammer build, however this is mainly only useful for farming. The hammer used is there for the extra health and the adrenaline used for both Bonetti's Defense and Earth Shaker If you also opted for the zealous mod, it somewhat helps counter the exhaustion. Also note, this build was only tested on Ettin's, Griffons and Trolls (Near Droks).
Some people may consider swapping Obsidian Flame out for Sprint or for Stone Daggers to make things easier or Earth Shaker for Charge, just so you can farm easier, that's all preference though. Or even taking out Bonetti's Defense all-together for Earth Attunement, losing tactics all together and wielding Victo's Maul, which is fine and does help with the energy regen, though it is troublesome somewhat as you do need to watch your health with this method as you lose a form of damage reduction. Also, the regen isn't as rapid with with Earth Attunement. It's preference really. Just know you need to cast Earth Attunement from the start if you decide to use it.
Get to your targetted group and aggro them. Before you get attacked cast Kinetic Armor, Aura of Restoration, Armor of Earth (In that order) and then unload with Earthquake and follow up with Aftershock. Hammer away a bit before casting Obsidian Flame to renew Kinetic Armor. Hammer some more, then cast Kinetic Armor again, then follow up with Earth Shaker. By now you'll need to re-cast Aura of Restoration and Armor of Earth so do so in that order, renewing Kinetic Armor. You should have enough energy still to cast Earthquake and After Shock once more. Hammer away a bit, cast Obsidian Flame, build up Adren, then cast Bonetti's Defense.
Your increased armor and healing you get from casting your spells ought to regenerate your health enough to survive 5-6 enemies. Now, in all seriousness, I've killed the Ettin's with one cast of Earthquake and Aftershock. Farming over. For Griffons and Trolls, it took me 2-3 cycles. The key is watching your health and timing your skills with Kinetic Armor. In the end, the damage with this build is so high your farming should be over fairly quickly.
IMO, this build is far more effective than a Wammo for farming trolls and Ettins. It makes for a far faster killing and adds a whole new spin on the uses for Elementalist Solo Farming.
