User:Pyrin Tempest/E/Me Invincible Terra Tank

Basics for the Invincible Terra Tank
First, Armor of Earth adds 62 armor (the equivalent of another piece of armor), then Stone Striker converts any damage to you into earth damage, which Mantra of Earth lowers by 40%. After that, Stoneflesh Aura lowers the damage taken by 33.

Build:
If soloing: [build prof=ele/me energy=9+1 earth=12+3+1 inspir=9 illusion=3][Earth Attunement][Stone Striker][Mantra of Earth][Stoneflesh Aura][Armor of Earth][Sliver Armor][Ancestor's Visage][Sympathetic Visage][/build]

If you have an ally with either Ancestor's Visage or Sympathetic Visage and any one of Arcane Echo, Echo, or the other Visage:

[build prof=ele/me energy=9+1 earth=12+3+1 inspir=9 illusion=3][Earth Attunement][Stone Striker][Mantra of Earth][Stoneflesh Aura][Armor of Earth][Earthquake][Aftershock][Shockwave][/build]

Armor & Weapons
Armor: Full geomancer runes (to further add armor). Rune of Superior Earth Magic, Rune of Minor Energy Storage, Rune of Vigor (the best you can afford), any 2 runes of your choice (preferably Vitae or Attunement).

Weapon: Max earth staff with a +30 health mod and a + 20% enchanting mod. Droknar's Earth Staff works perfectly for this.

Apply before battle

 * Earth Attunement
 * Stone Striker
 * Mantra of Earth
 * Stoneflesh Aura
 * Armor of Earth

Use during battle

 * If Soloing:
 * Sliver Armor
 * Cast whichever Visage is recharged when the wedge of recharge time left for Stoneflesh Aura is formed by a vertical line and a diagonal line to the top left corner of the skill, be sure that you've been hit once, then recast Stoneflesh Aura and any other enchantments that need to be reapplied.


 * If with an ally:
 * Have ally keep you enchanted with a Visage as much of the time as possible.
 * Earthquake
 * Aftershock
 * Shockwave
 * Reapply enchantments as necessary

Locations

 * UW
 * anywhere without enchantment shattering

Notes:

 * Large groups of melee creatures work best (like ettins or trolls)
 * Casters/Rangers/Paragons work worst
 * Be careful when trying to farm trolls in Hard Mode. If using the solo build, sometimes the trolls will be able to interrupt one of your Visages, leaving Stoneflesh Aura vulnerable to interrupt and you'll die very quickly thereafter.  And the second version rarely works in Hard Mode because the AoE damage chain will usually cause trolls to break off and go after your ally, even if your ally is outside aggro range.


 * Counters:
 * Dazed
 * Knockdowns
 * Interrupts
