    Cool Earth+Defense

    I am looking for a good way to put earth and defense together.

    I started with defense and want to add earth to it for a bit of magic use and I think it can be fun but I can not find anything on here where people have put this together and made it work.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks!

    What if I want to do less with the defense and more with the earth? fire damage and stuff but still use shield/1H?

    Maybe a weird flame surge build. but you would be the first to attempt it I guess. Nobody uses that skill, for its short range and extreme energy usage. Maybe with a shield for defense and second synergy to rally (gives energy regen) it might work.

    Hybrids are difficult. It's hard to have enough damage by spending your points on int and str. Therefore most juggernauts are physical damage dealing defender's with some flashy fireworks.

    The problem is: Shield is heavy requiring More Str = Less Int available to increase spell dmg. Although you could try to find Hephaestus' Molten Shield with that nasty -20% reduction to all requirements and -30% less str (10/6 AH)...

    This is the best for Juggernaut. Having played it multiple times, build Flame surge for the dmg it can provide.. but through the early levels you should focus on Defense.. start focusing Earth when you come to the Knossos, or Rhakotis, if you can kill the Telkine on Defense alone.. Though I usually have Flame surge up to lv.5-6, so it can deal some damage, along with my Defensive abilities

    Looking at this combo for my next toon. I've done Spellbreaker, Assassin, Warden and Oracle. I've also never done a pure caster so Earth+Storm or Nature+Spirit seems intruiging.

    I really like the kinds of things that Defense can do.

    It can do many things. Deal tons of close AOE damage, or single target damage, keep you and your team alive (if you play online) and, most of all, look cool in your quickbar

    Well, Xaq, there's nothing stopping you from using a fire staff if you want to, although splitting your attributes points between strength, intelligence and dexterity can be a problem. Still, with Earth Enchantment tree, Volcanic Orb tree and Eruption you'll be dealing plenty of fire damage. And Corrie also throws a bit of the firey flames around too.

    Look for gear/weapons/relics/charms/artifacts that will boost your fire damage, and don't forget about Ring of Flame and Heat Shield which will also do some fire damage to your enemies if they get close enough.
