User:Saranis/Elementalist Builds/Flame Stepper

Flame Stepper uses Death's Charge to get close to enemy casters and dish out high damage with powerful Fire Magic.

Attributes and Skills

 * For the Optional Slot See Variations or different options.

Equipment

 * A full set of your preferred armor. I recommend Battlemages.
 * An Pyromancer Aura/Eye of Superior Fire Magic


 * A good choice in weapons would be a Hale Fire Staff or Fire Magic
 * You could also choose to go with a 20 Energy Fire Staff with 20% recharge and Fire +1.

Usage

 * Make sure to cast Fire Attunement prior to Shadow Stepping in.

Use Death's Charge to shadow step to target (recommended casters) foe and follow up with Star Burst, Flame Burst, Inferno, and finally Phoenix.

Bed of Coals may be used to finish off a target or in most cases to scatter any converging Melee fighters.

Counters

 * Interupts.
 * Kiting away from the Area Spells.
 * Infusers mess this up in PvP.

Variants
Optional Slot Consider Replacing Phoenix with Liquid Flame for a lower cast time.
 * Immolate can be used on Kiting Foes to deal Damage and set them on Fire.
 * Meteor to kick in the knockdown needed from Bed of Coals to trigger Burning.
 * Death's Retreat or Return is a good way to shadow step back to safety after killing your target.
