Stone Striker

Mantra of Earth

Arcane Echo

Earthquake

Ether Phantom

Ether Lord

Glyph of Energy

Resurrection Signet

• Ether Phantom can be replaced with Ether Feast for Random Arenas.

[edit] Equipment

• Enchanter's Armor to maximize the energy pool
• Any of the three Green Inspiration staves (Inspired Ghostly Staff, Inspired Shadow Staff, Staff of the Forgotten)

[edit] Usage

Stone Striker and Mantra of Earth reduce the damage done to you by 50% and provide you with 2 Energy each time you're struck. Use Arcane Echo, Earthquake, Glyph of Energy, Earthquake in that order to do massive damage in an area, followed by Ether Phantom and Ether Lord on the enemy Monk or another caster. Then use the skills liberally.

[edit] Counters

• Removing Stone Striker cripples the build.
• Interrupts to a lesser degree.

[edit] Variants

Glyph of Energy could be removed for a stronger Earth elite, or Energy Drain for better Energy denial.
