This is an elementalist build used to "tank" the Domain of Anguish. It uses recycling of Obsidian Flesh and Serpent's Quickness to constantly maintain immunity to spells. Energy is managed through a bonder using Balthazar's Spirit. This build and its variants have been successfully used to tank all zones of the Domain of Anguish, including the Ebony Citadel.

[edit] Usage

Start off in each zone by having the bonder put all bond on you. Cast Stoneflesh Aura and Armor of Earth before aggroing. If you brought a Spell Breaker monk, have them put it on you to make rounding up easier. Pull the group to the desired spot. If facing Misery Titans or Margonite Vus, keep up Ward of Stability as much as possible. Use Serpents Quickness and Obsidian Flesh at the same time as Spell Breaker runs out. Right as the next Obsidian Flesh is ending, use it again. Wait for Serpent's Quickness and Obsidian Flesh both recharge, and use them again. See specifics for each zone at their page on the wiki.
