- [[Aura of Restoration@10] or [[Ether Feast@9] for a self heal.
- [[Earth Attunement@16] - usually unnecessary.

Equipment[]
- Weapon - The highest energy staff you can afford WITH 20% Enchanting mod
- Armor - Geomancer's Insignias on all pieces
Usage[]
- Maintain Stone Striker and Mantra of Earth for energy gain and damage reduction
- Maintain Obsidian Flesh at all times by using Glyph of Swiftness to reduce its recharge time
- Maintain Armor of Earth and Stone flesh to further reduce damage
Counters[]
- Interrupts
- E-denial (debilitating shot can be a pain)
- Losing the healer
- Non-targeted and non-spell disenchants
- Degen/conditions
- Mantra of Earth being removed
Notes[]
- The downside of this build is that it possesses no self healing and depends on a healer to stay alive. Albeit the damage this build takes is minimal; it cannot hold out indefinitely without a monk.
- Any damage affected by armor that is less than or equal to 162 will be reduced down to zero damage. Keep in mind, it reduces Damage, not life loss, sacrifices or life stealing.
