The Holy Stone uses the popular combination of Earth Magic defensive enchantments and Mystic Regeneration for defense and powerful Earth AoE spells for offense.

[edit] equipment

• galigords stonestaff would be preferable but any earth staff will do.
• any armor will do.

[edit] Usage

• Cast and maintain Earth Attunement, Armor of Earth, Stoneflesh Aura, and Mystic Regeneration for the duration of the fight.
• Choose a group of targets, use Sandstorm and immediately use Earthquake and Dragon's Stomp to keep them in the AoE and deal even more damage.

[edit] Counters

• Extremely heavy health degeneration.
• Interruptions.
• Repeated enchantment removal.

[edit] Variants

• If using this build in Alliance Battles, you could replace the Resurrection Signet with something else.
• Grasping Earth would work, as you could run into a group of enemies and cast Sandstorm-Grasping Earth-Earthquake-Dragon's Stomp. Note that you might have to warn physical damage dealers about your use of Grasping Earth, as it gives enemies hexed with it bonus armor versus physical damage.

[edit] Notes

• This build does not have very good energy management, so it is best for use in Alliance Battles or Competitive Missions, where you can simply die to remove all exhaustion and regain all your energy.
• If combined with a Water Elementalist or other characters with powerful AoE snares, this build becomes devastating.
