E/Me Earth Magic Nuker

This build uses Earth Magic's snares (lots of KDs from Unsteady Ground and Churning Earth) to keep mobs in place and deal high AoE damage thanks to Ebon Battle Standard of Honor, which counters mobs' high armor levels on hard mode. This build also supports party with blinding and knocking down mobs very often.
