Stoneflesh Aura

Teinai's Crystals

Crystal Wave

Shockwave

Balthazar's Spirit

Ward Against Foes

Resurrection Signet

Equipment

• Any Armor will work except one which increases your health. Using Radiant Insignias is a good idea for the additional energy.
• Preferably a Staff of Enchanting Linked to Earth Magic. Galigord's Stone Staff is optimal.

Usage

• Cast Balthazar's Spirit
• Cast Ward Against Foes to help prevent AoE scatter as well as to aid your team
• Cast and Maintain Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura
• Cast Shockwave, Crystal Wave, and Teinai's Crystals whenever possible.

Counters

• Degneration
• E-Denial
• Life Stealing
• Enchantment Stripping
• Interrupting

Variants

• Healing Breeze
• Stone Daggers
• Ebon Hawk
• Obsidian Flame
• Grasping Earth
• Sandstorm and Unsteady Ground are viable replacements for Shockwave.
• Glyph of Lesser Energy if energy is an issue.
• Glyph of Concentration if you fear interruption for Stoneflesh Aura
• In areas where enchantment stripping is a major issue, Shockwave may be replaced by Obsidian Flesh for less damage but much greater survivability.

Notes

With some adjustments, it may be possible to produce a solo or dual farmer with this build. However, it will only work in areas where interrupting is not an issue due to the relatively long casting time of Stoneflesh Aura.
