PvE-farming

This build uses high armor and blocking skills to reduce the damage received by monsters in the Underworld and Sliver Armor to deal large amounts of damage. Energy is kept by using Bonetti's Defense. This build does not have any specific skill to counter Dying Nightmares and relies on a keen eye and environmental tactics to avoid Bladed Aatxes and wand the Dying Nightmares.

Attributes and Skills

Elementalist / Warrior	Attribute Rank
Energy Storage	12 + 1
Earth Magic	12 + 1 + 3

Equipment

Tempest Armor
Something along the lines of Galigord's Stone Staff will be perfect.

Usage

Upon entering the Underworld, check in front of you to see if there are three Bladed Aatxes in the mob. If there is, and the third isn’t moving, it means there is a Dying Nightmare spawn to the right.
- If there is, cast Kinetic Armor and maintain it with, Aura of Restoration.
- Pull the first mob and run to the NPC Benton. As long as you hide behind him the Bladed Aatxes cannot get to you, however keep your enchantments up for convenience.
- By now, the Dying Nightmare would have spawned and you can now wand him without worrying about the Bladed Aatxes.
If there is no third Bladed Aatxe, then you are safe and you are free to pull the mob.
After taking out the Dying Nightmare, or if there were none, take the Clear the Chamber quest. Then cast Armor of Earth and tank the mob.
- Cast Glyph of Renewal to keep up Magnetic Aura, and use Sliver Armor for damage.
Keep Teinai's Crystals or Crystal Wave if you are using only Prophecies skills, as a finisher. This way, the Grasping Darkness’ will be able to contribute to Sliver Armor’s triggering and the Bladed Aatxes will die faster. Bladed Aatxes have the higher armor so you will want to target them first.
- As of the October 25th AoE update, the monsters will run when they take too much damage. Don’t worry, just wand them and they will come right back. You will be wanding anyways to charge up Bonetti's Defense.
When low on health, cast more, and if you are Dazed just use Aura of Restoration and Magnetic Aura to keep Kinetic Armor up. Wait for it to finish and continue to kill the mob.
When low on energy, use Bonetti's Defense, you will be almost guaranteed to block everything for the full 6 seconds it is active. Be cautious as casting to keep Kinetic Armor alive will disengage Bonetti's Defense.
After killing the first mob, move on to the next in a clockwise rotation.
- First, pull any Dying Nightmares that might be hiding, if you aggro the Bladed Aatxes run back to NPC Benton and hide.
- Wand the Dying Nightmare and carry on killing the mob.
Rinse and repeat until all Grasping Darkness’ and Bladed Aatxes are dead. Move on to the Ice Wastes.
Facing Smite Crawlers is the easy part as they attack fast, have lower armor and deal less damage.
- Be careful when running to Smite Crawler nests as Dying Nightmares could pop up. They will likely be alone, so take it slow.
- Do not engage the Coldfire Nights as they can interrupt you and they don’t drop any Globs of Ectoplasm anyway.
