Air Magic Variant

Replace the Paragon skills with the following and raise Air Magic to 9. Only use if you expect to be facing interrupts that positioning and Spell Shield cannot mitigate.

• Glyph of ConcentrationPropheciesElementalist. UnlinkedGlyph of ConcentrationGlyphFor 15 seconds, your next 1 Spell cannot be interrupted and ignore the effects of being Dazed.5110 : Prevent most interrupts (with exception of skills like Power Block)
• Windborne SpeedPropheciesElementalist. Air Magic 9Windborne SpeedEnchantment SpellFor 10 seconds, target ally moves 33% faster.10¾5 : Provides speed boosts for yourself and carriers.

Since Glyph of Concentration is ineffective against Power Block and Psychic Distraction (both uncommon) and knockdowns, you can substitute GoC with:

• Glyph of EssenceFactionsElementalist. UnlinkedGlyph of EssenceGlyphFor 15 seconds, your next Spell casts instantly but causes you to lose all Energy.5120 : Prevents any attempt at interruption by making the spell cast instantly. Use a low-energy set to minimize the drawback.
• Glyph of SacrificePropheciesElementalist. UnlinkedGlyph of SacrificeGlyphFor 15 seconds, your next Spell may be cast instantly, but it takes an additional 30 seconds to recharge. Ends prematurely if you use a non-spell skill.5115 : Works the same way as Essence, but unavoidably adds 30 seconds of recharge to the spell used. Not recommended as this nullifies RoJ's advantage of a quick recharge (for a nuke skill).

Additionally, you may take the following as an optional.

• GaleCoreElementalist. Air Magic 9GaleSpellKnock down target foe for 2 seconds. (50% failure chance with Air Magic 4 or less.)101015 to use as an unconditional knockdown to interrupt nukers and defend against other players. Beware of overcast.
