User:Korineczek/Shockwaver

The Shockwaver use the power of combo of two skills - Earthquake and Aftershock followed by Shockwave that deals lots of instant damage. It works just like the build which uses Star Burst instead of Shockwave. Where Starburster do lots of dmg in AoE long duration spells the Shockwaver do the instant damage which can be useful in lots of situations.

Equipment

 * Full blessed armor because you are enchanted all the time with Stone's Eye infused with Superior Earth Magic Rune and Minor Energy Storage Rune on the chest
 * Staff with ene +15, Enchantmets lasts 20% longer and HCT / HSR , 20/20. Galigord's Stone Staff is optional choice

Usage
Before attacking cast Earth Attunement and Aura of Restoration and try to maintain them all the time. Cast Glyph of Sacrifice then Shadow step between lots of mobs and start combo > Earthquake > Aftershock > Shockwave. This will cost 45 energy that means you will have 17 energy back and you will be healed for 165 health.
 * After making damage try to get back to friendly lines using Dash and wait to that time when at least Shockwave is recharged.

Counters

 * Anti casting Tactics like Backfire etc.
 * Breaking the attack chain. or extending recharge time of spells like Diversion
 * Energy draining skills Energy Surge, Energy Burn , Energy Drain or getting on low energy.

Variants

 * Major variant here is changing the magic to fire magic and start to play which can be equivalent to this build.
 * Changing optional slot from offensive to defensive etc.
 * You can remove Dash and you can put some armor boosting spells like Armor of Earth, Kinetic Armor, or Stoneflesh Aura or you can choose some damage - dealing skills like Sliver Armor which is extremely useful while you shadow step to minion master and minions attacks you. You can use also Eruption if you think you can manage your energy fairly.
 * Another variant is puting some quick recharge skills there like Stoning, Obsidian Flame or Stone Daggers
