Notes[]

Nice farming synergy there:

Serpent's Quickness keeps Obsidian Flesh up permanently, and keeps Sliver Armor up 65% of the time.
Storm Chaser is your running skill, and it will trigger on every hit you take if Stone Striker is on, refilling all your energy.

Farmable areas[]

Elementals outside of Dzagonur Bastion.
FoW Beach.
