Equipment

Any Armor will work except one which increases your health. Using Radiant Insignias is a good idea for the additional energy.
Preferably a Staff of Enchanting Linked to Earth Magic. Galigord's Stone Staff is optimal.

 

Usage

Cast Balthazar's Spirit
Cast Ward Against Foes to help prevent AoE scatter as well as to aid your team
Cast and Maintain Protective Spirit and Stoneflesh Aura
Cast Shockwave, Crystal Wave, and Teinai's Crystals whenever possible.

 

Counters

Degneration
E-Denial
Life Stealing
Enchantment Stripping
Interrupting

 

Variants

Healing Breeze
Stone Daggers
Ebon Hawk
Obsidian Flame
Grasping Earth
Sandstorm and Unsteady Ground are viable replacements for Shockwave.
Glyph of Lesser Energy if energy is an issue.
Glyph of Concentration if you fear interruption for Stoneflesh Aura
In areas where enchantment stripping is a major issue, Shockwave may be replaced by Obsidian Flesh for less damage but much greater survivability.

 

Notes

With some adjustments, it may be possible to produce a solo or dual farmer with this build. However, it will only work in areas where interrupting is not an issue due to the relatively long casting time of Stoneflesh Aura.
