This Mind Shock Spiker shines in an adrenaline team in TA or GvG. To spike, this Air ele uses Mind Shock to KD them while doing considerable damage. Besides being able to KD people on demand, this spiker can - and should - blind melee foes to slow adrenaline gain or to stop an attack skill.

    • Minor Runes of Air Magic and Energy Storage

[edit] Usage

  • Before you engage in battle cast Air Attunement, you should try to keep this enchantment up at all times.
  • Help in spikes with Mind Shock followed by Lightning Strike or Lightning Orb. Only use the latter one if you're near your target.
  • If you're sure that you can deal with the Exhaustion form Mind Shock, consider using it to interrupt foes or to prevent kiting. Still, your max energy should stay above 40.
  • If you need to spike an ele, don't use Mind Shock: instead you should use gale (if you have it).
  • You can use Lightning strike for pressure.
  • Between spikes blind opposing physical foes. Try to blind warriors and assassins right before they use an Attack skill.

[edit] Counters

  • Interrupts
  • Removal of Air Attunement
  • A Melandru dervish - or a warrior that can't be blinded easily - bashing on you forcing you to kite.
  • General anti-caster hexes or spells.
