User:Saranis/Elementalist Builds/Shocker

Shocker uses Fast casting Air Magic to surprise a foe with sudden Spike Damage.

Attributes and Skills

 * For the Optional Slot See Variations for different options.

Equipment

 * A full set of your preferred armor.
 * An Aeromancer Aura/Eye of Superior Air Magic


 * A good choice in weapons would be a 20/20 Air Staff with an Insightful Staff Head and +30 HP staff Wrapping.
 * You could also choose to go with a 20 Energy Air Staff with 20% recharge.

Usage

 * Maintain Air Attunement and Elemental Attunement at all times to manage your energy.
 * Since most of these skills are low cost/recharge spamming is quite effective.
 * Enervating Charge should be spread around to different Targets who rely on physical damage.
 * Lightning Orb followed by a quick Lightning Hammer causes a nice chunk of damage and should be used to finish off a foe.

Counters

 * Like all Casters Interupts can be a pain. Skills that increase recharge will also severly hinder this build.


 * Rangers tend to be a pain in the backside with this build because of their natural resistence to elements.

Variants

 * Optional Slot Possibilities
 * Shock Arrow provides another nice spamable spell. However the damage on it is not so great at only 48.
 * Blinding Flash is a good choice in here. Its High Energy cost is offset by having both Air Attunement and Elemental Attunement
 * Resurrect or whatever your preferred resurrect skill is. I would advise NOT bringing rebirth unless you are certain you wont need to be the one constantly resurrecting people.
