Attributes and Skills

<pvxbig> [build prof=E/any earth=12+1+1 energy=12+1][Ebon Hawk][Stoning][Ash Blast][optional][Aura of Restoration][Earth Attunement][Optional][Resurrection Signet][/build] Elite Skill:

• [[Elemental Attunement@13] - Dual Attunement or as a replacement to Earth Attunement.
• [[Ether Prism@13] - Energy gain and anti-spike.
• [[Shockwave@14] - It's RA.
• [[Unsteady Ground@14] - Knock down melee some more.
• [["You're All Alone!"] - Synergises perfectly with Stoning; covers Weakness with Cripple, harder to avoid the projectiles.
• Many other elites will work, as this build doesn't need it's elite to perform its primary role.

Non-elite Variants:

• [[Kinetic Armor@14] - What squishy?
• [[Glowstone@14] - Extra energy to use a more useful elite skill.
• [[Aftershock@14] - Synergy with KDs.
