Listen up, bitches. You are all doing it wrong.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Ele/any Earth=12+1+3 En=12+1][Stone Sheath][Stoning][Ash Blast][Obsidian Flame][Optional][Aura of Restoration][Earth Attunement][Resurrection Signet][/build]

Variants

 * [[Glowstone@16]. You can drop Attunement if you really want to.
 * [[Glyph of Elemental Power].
 * Whatever the fuck else. Take [[Power Lock@3] or something, fuck it.

Reasons Why You're Wrong

 * What about Shockwave?
 * No, asshole. Stone Sheath (1) costs less, so you can use it if your enchants get stripped; (2) recharges faster; (3) does about the same amount of damage; (4) can be split into two areas on the map; (5) is a cover enchantment; and (6) kills the other team's damage on you AND 1-2 other people.  It's a better elite in small arenas, period.  Fuck you.
 * Where is Ebon Hawk?
 * Considering that you can pull two AoE weaknesses out of your ass every 10 seconds for 5 energy, what's this Ebon Hawk bullshit about? You're either weakening a physical (who will be near one of your casters) so you can KD and blind them or a caster (who should be near one of your physicals) so you can KD and kill them.  Oh, what's that, you didn't get a melee on your team?  Fuck it, go stand on someone.  You have warrior armor.
 * But Obsidian Flame has exhaustion!
 * Match ends before you're exhausted. You can use it literally on recharge on recharge for like 3 minutes before you're fucked.  Fact is, Obbyflame wrecks shit.  So wreck shit with it.

Equipment

 * Blessed Insignias with a Rune of Superior Vigor.
 * 40/40 Earth set. Mostly camp this, because fuck it.
 * Defensive Shield and Spear sets.
 * Enchanting set (40/40/20 staff).

Usage

 * Use Stone Sheath offensively and defensively. Simultaneously.
 * Use Stoning to make things die. It's not uncommon to see 3/4 of the other team weakened.
 * Ash Blast to remove physicals from the game.
 * Obsidian Flame to kill shit. If someone frenzies, go ahead and fuck their day up.
 * Aura of Restoration covers Attunement.
 * Attunement means you can use all your skills on recharge. All of them.  Literally.

Counters

 * Enchantment Removal.
 * General Anti-Melee.
