This is a spiker build. It is quite efficient in random arena on average.

Attributes and Skills

Cast and maintain Earth Attunement, Elemental Attunement, and Stoneflesh Aura.
Target an enemy, preferably a caster.
Before attacking cast Kinetic Armor.
Always cast Stone Daggers.
Cast Obsidian Flame in time to time. Be careful not to burn all your energy bar with exaustion, keep at least 20 Energy.
If you are under degenration or heavy damage use Mystic Regeneration.

Health degeneration and hexes such as Spiteful Spirit. If you see mesmers, rangers or necro be prepared to cast Mystic Regeneration.
Dervish with Avatar of Melandru and Warriors with Defy Pain. Kill the others first.
Repeated enchantment removal.
Teams that moves a lot, since you can't move easily.

If using Kinetic Armor DO NOT try to run away if you are targeted by a warrior. Remember that you are quite resistant as long as you are casting.
If you are targeted by an Assassin kill him or make him flee before he kills you. He deals the same amount of damage as you but is less resistant.

Always maintain the Attunements. Your high energy level is only here to contain exaustion. You can spam Obsidian Flame until exaustion takes 3/4 of your bar. But I sugsest you make careful use of Obsidian Flame.
When targetting a new enemy make a try : cast obsidian flame on him. If the damages are low this means that he is under bonds protection or has an high level of life. In this case you should change target.
Do not use obsidian Flame as soon as it recharge. Stone Daggers generally makes correct damages.
Obsidian Flame is very efficient to finish an enemy who's life has been down by degen. If you see an enemy with less than 1/3 life switch target and cast one or two obsidian flame on him.
