** Counters [#y1f9812e]
Any massive damage or degeneration will kill you in a matter of seconds. The build is best suited for teams containing monks or other support characters to offset the health loss.
Anti-spamming skills such as Backfire or Spiteful Spirit.
Enchantment removal will shut-down the build for a long period of time.
#br
** Equipment [#mbd5f4ff]
A 20% HCT/HSR Air Magic Staff with a 20% Enchantment mod would be ideal.
Charlatan's for the +10 armor while enchanted.
#br
** Variants [#wb6a8302]
Blinding Flash can replace Channeling for more defense against attackers, but beware when replacing Channeling, as you will remove your only option for a cover enchantment.
Lightning Javelin can be used for interruption.
Arc Lightning can serve as a replacement for Channeling; sacrificing longer recharge for less energy spent.
Lightning Bolt can also replace Channeling to fill intervals and hit moving foes.
