User:Jatara/buildsarchive/Build:E/Mo Earth Tank/PBAoE

The E/Mo PvE Tank is designed to produce an essentially invincible tank which is also capable of producing high, AoE damage.

Equipment

 * Any Armor will work except one which increases your health. Using Radiant Insignias is a good idea for the additional energy.
 * Preferably a Staff of Enchanting Linked to Earth Magic. Galigord's Stone Staff is optimal.

Usage

 * Cast Balthazar's Spirit
 * Cast Ward Against Foes to help prevent AoE scatter as well as to aid your team
 * Cast and Maintain Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura
 * Cast Shockwave, Crystal Wave, and Teinai's Crystals whenever possible.

Counters

 * Degneration
 * E-Denial
 * Life Stealing
 * Enchantment Stripping
 * Interrupting

Variants

 * Healing Breeze
 * Stone Daggers
 * Ebon Hawk
 * Obsidian Flame
 * Grasping Earth
 * Sandstorm and Unsteady Ground are viable replacements for Shockwave.
 * Glyph of Lesser Energy if energy is an issue.
 * Glyph of Concentration if you fear interruption for Stoneflesh Aura
 * In areas where enchantment stripping is a major issue, Shockwave may be replaced by Obsidian Flesh for less damage but much greater survivability.
