User:Readem/Build:Me/E Culture Shock

Culture Shock uses a painfully simple approach to handling mobs in PvE. Using lightning as a primary source of damage and amplifying it through use of a Water Magic Hex, this build is especially effective on groups who are fleeing an AoE spell or still approaching.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=mesme/eleme airmag=11 waterm=10 inspir=10+1+3][arc lightning][echo][lightning touch][frozen burst][air attunement][channeling][energy tap][physical resistance][/build]

Equipment

 * Savant's Armor for the +10 armor bonus provided while in a stance.
 * As many runes of attunement as possible (+2 energy each).
 * Air weapon(s) of your choice with a preference on HSR over HCT.
 * Zealous martial weapon sets are a possibility.

Usage
Energy Tap combined with the effect of Channeling is very effective. Meanwhile, if you're close to enemy groups, Air Magic skills should cost literally nothing, allowing the heavy cost of Frozen Burst to balance out quite evenly with regeneration.

Counters
Stance removal for any reason. Multiple enchantment stripping causes some problems as well.

Variants

 * Replace Echo with Gust.
