Emo

The Emo is a pun on the multi-class Elementalist Monk which is shown as "E/Mo".

The Emo had for a time been highly popular and almost staple in GvG play, specifically that of the Air variety. With the release of Nightfall, the nerf of Ether Prodigy, the addition of skills such as Mending Touch and "You're All Alone!", better/more durable flagrunning builds replaced the E/Mo as staple.

The traditional E/Mo uses Ether Prodigy, Blinding Flash, Heal Party, and a multitude of other damage and supporting skills to help in splits or to spike in flagstand battles. It is rarely used to solo NPCs or other flaggers, but, before the appearance of Mending Touch, blind had been an extremely potent condition and this allowed the E/Mo to support splits and survive very effectively.

Other Skills
Other options for splits:
 * Enervating Charge
 * Storm Djinn's Haste or Windborne Speed for speed boost.
 * Mending Touch to better survive against other splitters.
 * Aegis to assist with Aegis chains.

To increase efficiency at flagstand:


 * Draw Conditions
 * Glyph of Sacrifice and Resurrection Chant

When used at the flagstand with Glyph Rez Chant variant, a fire E/Mo is sometimes used instead, especially with Meteor Shower (which synergizes well with Glyph of Sacrifice), Fireball and Liquid Flame which helps especially in VoD due to the damage/health effect and the placement of NPCs. Alternatively, Flame Djinn's Haste may be used to run flags.

Another popular version is the E/Mo Hybrid Runner, which used water snares and spells such as Blurred Vision instead to assist and stall other flagrunner/gankers.

Due to the nerf of Ether Prodigy, energy management skill such as Second Wind, Ether Prism, Mind Blast, and Dual Attune (Elemental Attunement and Water/Fire/Air Attunement) elementalists are also sometimes used. The latter meant that 10 energy spells cost as much as 5 energy ones, which allows an elementalist to spam spell such as Enervating Charge much more generously. It is also often used with Mystic Regeneration (making it E/D instead of E/Mo, though the role is generally quite similar), which, when combined with Attunements and Storm Djinn's Haste, gives the user a very high health regen, making it far more durable than an E/Mo with Healing Breeze (casts four times as slow and much easier to interrupt if dazed), although this comes at the cost of lacking team support.

BEWARE
When playing as an EMO you tend to have a slight urge to cut you're wrists. Try taking a condition removal spell to negate this unfortunate "side" effect.
