Earth Magic	12

Featherfoot Grace

Enchanted Haste

Stoneflesh Aura

Armor of Earth

Obsidian Flesh

Mystic Regeneration

Armor of Sanctity

Glyph of Concentration

[edit] Equipment

• Radiant Insignias on Chest and Leg Armor and Blessed Insignias on the rest for extra energy.

• For extra energy Runes of Attunement are optional on the pieces without runes on them already.

• A weapon with 20% enchanting is useful and a shield which gives you bonuses while enchanted (such as Malinon's Shield) is also nice.

[edit] Usage

• Keep Stoneflesh Aura on around enemies; this will reduce most damage to 0.
• Reapply Mystic Regeneration to counter burning and possible health loss.
• Armor of Sanctity is useful as a cover enchantment against Irwyn the Severe's Shatter Enchantment
• Use Featherfoot Grace and Enchanted Haste to run to the cut-scene.
• When the docks are reached use Glyph of Concentration to avoid interrupts and keep Stoneflesh Aura and Mystic Regeneration on at all times.
• Use Armor of Earth and Obsidian Flesh whenever excess energy permits (not to be used during the run).
• Try to never have Stoneflesh Aura on the top of your enchantments, because this is by far your most important one (Can be stripped by Irwyn the Severe).

[edit] Counters

• Creatures body blocking while running is a counter for any running build.
• Interrupts to Stoneflesh Aura while tanking.

[edit] Variants

• There is a large amount of personal preference in this build; Obsidian Flesh could be replaced by Avatar of Balthazar for both increased speed and extra armor.

• Obsidian Flesh could also be replaced by Earth Attunement for energy management.

[edit] Notes

When the boat that the Vizier is summoning appears, use increased speed skills to sprint onto the ship.
