User:Blue Lagoon/E/any Frozen Mist

This is tactical build, used to reduce melee and caster attacks from the enemy. When used correctly, foes will easily become uncordinated/frustrated with the skills this build uses.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Elementalist/any name="Frozen Mist" WaterMagic=12+1+3 EnergyStorage=12][Elemental Attunement][Water Attunement][Aura of Restoration][Armor of Mist][Blurred Vision][Ice Spikes][Maelstrom][Ice Spear][/build]

Equipment

 * Hydromancer insignia and superior rune of water magic on the helm, blessed insignias on other items of armour, the highest vigor rune posible and then runes of your choice on other items of armour
 * Kaolin Water Staff is the best option for this build

Usage

 * Prior to battle cast Elemental Attunement, Water Attunement, and Aura of Restoration.
 * Target a caster as central as possible in a group and use Ice Spikes, followed directly by Maelstrom.
 * Any melee attackers that are approaching you or have reached you use Blurred Vision on.
 * Spam Ice Spear on foes, bearing in mind Ice Spear only has half the range it is advised to target a melee attacker as not to be pulled too deep into battle.

Counters

 * General caster counters such as dazed, Backfire and interupts.
 * Enchantment removal will upset your armour, energy and health supply but is not a total counter.

Variants

 * Armour of Mist is the non essential skill, so can be replaced by skills such as Signet of Capture.
 * Ice Spikes can be replaced by Deep Freeze for more damage and long duration of slowed movement.
