Inspiration Magic | 3 + 2 |
[edit] Usage
- Maintain Air Attunement, covered with Channeling at all times.
- Precast Glyph of Lesser Energy, followed by Invoke Lightning and Lightning Orb for a cheap spike.
- Lightning Strike is to be cast outside of main spikes.
- Knockdown enemies with Gale
- Resurrect fallen party members with Resurrection Signet.
[edit] Counters
- Any massive damage or degeneration will kill you in a matter of seconds. The build is best suited for teams containing monks or other support characters to offset the health loss.
- Anti-spamming skills such as Backfire or Spiteful Spirit.
- Enchantment removal will shut-down the build for a long period of time.
[edit] Equipment
- A 20% HCT/HSR Air Magic Staff with a 20% Enchantment mod would be ideal.
- Charlatan's for the +10 armor while enchanted.
[edit] Variants
- Blinding Flash can replace Channeling for more defense against attackers, but beware when replacing Channeling, as you will remove your only option for a cover enchantment.
- Lightning Javelin can be used for interruption.
- Arc Lightning can serve as a replacement for Channeling; sacrificing longer recharge for less energy spent.
- Lightning Bolt can also replace Channeling to fill intervals and hit moving foes.
