Creator's Comment
So here it is: my echonuker-pve-build. I'm using it since i got to the Center of Kaineng when i started my elementalist. I only had Factions those days... And i havn't found any echonuker-build here that only uses Factions, so i decided to submit this one :) -- special thanks to nilles who told me how to get the template -_- Y0 ich halt 12:52, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Before you get fed to the dogs, people don't like Flare in a nuking build because it totally goes against the whole nuking thing, plus it uses too much energy for not enough result. Secondly while on nuking, this doesn't have any traditional nuking spells (ie Meteor Shower, Fire Storm, Rodgort's Invocation), I realise that this is due to the Factions thing but would this build benefit from a name change? If you really want to nuke, I'd much prefer to see Fire Storm in over Breath of Fire, they're very similar (same cast time and recharge) but for an extra 5 energy FS lasts twice as long and can be cast anywhere. Also Meteor (due to it's long recharge) isn't the best spell to Arcane Echo, you'll only get 1 more use out of it, Fireball would be better, you can almost spam it then. The much maligned Searing Heat's duplicate, Teinai's Heat could be a good option (and you could consider Arcane Echoing it instead). This means the skill bar is:


 * Another options are swapping out Elemental Attunement for Echo to really up the damage or using Glyph of Concentration/Mantra of Concentration/Mantra of Resolve to avoid interruption. Anyway I hope that gives you something to think about. --Xasxas256 09:37, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
 * honestly, while experimenting with the "build" i tried and used many different combinations, and the one shown here is similar to one i tried. I'll tell you why i prefer breath of fire: it needs less mana, it deals more damage/sec. ok, it is right that firestorm lasts longer and deals more damage in total, but as i said this is a pve-build. and now show me a monster that stays in the AoE for 10 seconds... they usually run away after 3 or 4. so in my opinion firestorm would be kinda waste of mana :) --Y0 ich halt 10:20, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

Suggest Move
Because this is in your user namespace this build cannot be properly vetted if you want it to be included in a cat. I suggest you move the article to E/Me Meteor Nuker so the vetting process can continue in seriousness. If this is a build just for yourself, remove the testing tag. --Draygo Korvan (Yap) 09:54, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
 * No, i dont want to move it, because it still has a long way til it maybe becomes a Factions-only echonukerbuild which is of good use... and yes, ill remove the tag. --Y0 ich halt 10:11, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
 * Ok, were good then. --Draygo Korvan (Yap) 10:14, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

Build Changes
Hmm... im thinking of replacing breath of fire with firestorm now because of you, xasxas. it may work to cast firestorm and knock the foes down with meteor then... but what about the 3 seconds casting time? what do you think about it? :-? --Y0 ich halt 10:26, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
