[Introduction]
Someone told me once that eles suck because they can't solofarm. Well, since i love my ele i decided to create a farmingbuild anyway, and here it is so... in your face whoever it was that told me that. (this is for desert griffons)

[Attributes/skills]
fire/earth build
attributes:
earth 10 (1 minor rune)
energy storage:11 (1 minor rune)
firemagic 12 (1 major rune)
healing prayrs: 8


skills: elemental attunement, aura of restoration, fireball, flame burst, inferno, kinetic armor, magnetic aura, healing breeze

[Gameplay]
ok, so you stand in the heat of the desert, sweating your arse off, lost, thirsty and houngry. And what happens? a bunch of smelly old griffons stand between you and where you want to go. Well fear not my fellow elementalist, here is how you solve the situation.

step 1 Cast elemental attunement, you now have 40 secs to kill them all!.
step 2 aggro the mobs using fireball then use magnetic aura followed by restoration and kinetic armor.
step 3 start wamming away with flameburst, and inferno which makes them run, usually all but 1 runs off for a sec. Throw fireball at the cowards. repeat step 3.

[strategy]

things to keep in mind while building ur strategy, as i said b4 u only have 40 secs b4 elemental attunement wears off. after that you quickly run out of energy, so dont use it to early b4 aggroing mobs, but make sure its the first skill to cast. Mobs run off a bit after you cast inferno, (all cept 1 in my case) use this to ur advantege to perhaps renew a prot spell or cast healing breeze.
I have found that there usually a griffon straggeling behind who loves to come and make you his bitch after the fight when you are low on e,(those cowards). thats why magnetic aura´shuld be the first spell to be cast after you aggro the mobs. This way it has time to recharge for if/when that last guy comes.and if he do, cast it again and fire your staff to taunt himas he tryes to hit you in vain, and as the griffons frustration grows so does your energy, and soon he is dead.

note: this build works for melee enemys ONLY! (like griffons or minotaurs) killed 7 grifffons at the same time, the 8:th one who came a bit later finished me off as my e was depleted. anyway, kinetic armor only works against melee.. so... also stay clear of enchanment breakers or ur days are numbered.

[last words]
well. some of you found this usefull and not only differcult to read crap. i know i like the build, and often use it (with some minor changes) whenever im not playing as a nuker.

thanks and cya

nice guide, but the Ele/me still works too. Roxx0rz!.. whatever..

I'd say take armor of earth instead of kinetic, armor of earth gives you more armor (20 or so more if you have 16 in EM) and it lasts for a good 30 sec..

  Julia Heartilly on 12/03/05 18:54

Actually I think you mixed up the values there Nestarion, I have 16 in Earth Magic and if I remember correctly Armor of Earth adds 62 and Kinetic Armor 84 to my armor value.

You're right about the duration though, Armor of Earth lasts 30 seconds but then again, Kinetic Armor just lasts however long the fight takes. (as long as you keep casting a minimum of 1 spell every 8 seconds)

Conclusion: If you bring only one, bring Kinetic Armor.

  Nestarion on 12/04/05 04:26
 
Oh, that could be yes, my mistake:P thats probably because i never use kinetic, since i think the duration of Armor of earth is good, and the recharge time perfect so even if it wears down you can cast a new 1 in some sec :)

  Grimgram on 12/04/05 06:25

i choose to use kinetic since it lasts for as long as you got energy =) thnx for the inputs tho, im gonna keep experimenting with earth magics i think, since it's clearly proving to be a strong defensive build for any ele, i have noticed that this build works good for missions and such aswell, with a few modifications, remove aura and hb (make sure to have a monk lol) and bring res and obsidian flame instead (can be meteorshower or meteor aswell, but i like obsidian since it ignores armor), when ur with a team u might wanna bring phenix instead of inferno aswell, atleast i dont think it makes them run.

I use a similar build (e/n with spiteful spirit, armor of earth, earthquake, aftershock, aura of restoration, earth attunment, glyph of concentration), however, multiple rockshot devourers popping poses a problem. A HUGE problem, even with glyph of concentration. One isolated rockshot devourer is no problem, but random pop-ups of them is why an ele can't effectively farm minotaurs/griffons.
