Archive:E/Rt PvE Mind Blast Elementalist

An all-purpose PvE Elementalist, capable of dealing the damage expected of a "nuker" without running into the energy problems of the more commonly seen flare-spamming eles.

[build prof=e/rt Fire=12+1+3 Energy=12+1][Mark of Rodgort][Mind Blast][Fireball][Smoldering Embers][Rodgort's Invocation][Meteor Shower][Fire Attunement][Death Pact Signet][/build]

Equipment

 * Survivor Insignia
 * Three Fire Magic-tied headpieces; each with a Minor, Major or Superior Rune of Fire Magic, respectively (switch from Superior to Major and down to Minor if Death Penalty becomes a hindrance.
 * 20% Enchant mod (on a martial weapon or staff)
 * 20/20 HCT/HSR Fire Magic wand/offhand
 * +15e/-1 Wand/Offhand

Usage

 * Cast Mark of Rodgort on a target.
 * Activate Mind Blast to recover energy from the Mark.
 * Cycle between Fireball and Smoldering Embers for fast-paced nuking; Fireball hits AoE, Smoldering hits a single target, both are powerful and recharge quickly.
 * Drop a Rodgort's Invocation on enemies as often as possible - the somewhat fast recharge and the unlimited energy from Mind Blast make this a deadly spell.
 * Unleash Meteor Shower on large mobs at the beginning of the fight to achieve maximum damage/knockdown effect.
 * Spam Mind Blast on targets between other spells, to keep energy up and to keep the targets burning.
 * Resurrect allies when necessary.

Counters

 * Standard caster hate, i.e., daze/migraine
 * Mobs of Elementalists with lots of energy (more a problem in Hard Mode). Switch to your high set (+15e/-1) to keep gaining energy, even from other elementalists.

Variants

 * Flesh of My Flesh instead of Death Pact Signet.
 * Searing Heat instead of Rodgort's Invocation; good in lower level PvE to deal greater damage, works in higher level PvE to break aggro/split mobs.
 * Liquid Flame instead of Smoldering Embers.
