Skill Point farming with an Ele...my OWN take on it

So I deleted my previous Ele on account of him being amazingly ugly.

I made a new one, and today got it to level 19 from capping simple southern shiverpeak skills. It was created in prophecies and is neither ascended, nor does it have 200 attribute points. This was a video I shot at level 19 using a build I sort of "tagged" together as I went along.

There are many ele builds out there for this; just sharing my own as it uses all simple skills to get (I had 0 skill points spare ) and can be done by almost anyone.

And just a side-note...there is probably faster ways of doing this sort of thing in Hard Mode, but I'm limited to having Droks, Ascalon City, Lions Arch, the Desert, Sanctum Cay, Kamadan and Kaineng City. I have HM, but no skill points for earth skills for charr-farming etc. This is simply an alternative for quick skill points (as the profit is pretty poor).

All opinions welcomed. Flamers can die, as can trolls and grumpy people .

And yes...the build features firestorm! Before you hit your back button in simple disgust, check the video

Skills and Attribs
Fire Magic: 11 + 3 + 1 (15)
Water Magic: 10 + 1
Energy Storage: Rest (+1)

Glyph of Elemental Power, Mist Form, Meteor Shower, Mark of Rodgort, Firestorm, Flame Djinn's Haste, Frozen Burst, Fire Attunement.

+15energy, +20% ench length staff helps, but if you can sneak a GoEP in before casting Mist Form (as I manage when killing the trolls in the video) it isn't really needed.

Hope this helps some people out there...^^

faster ways: switch out glyph of ele for glyph of sac, firestorm for bed of coals. snare and nuke, your build still works for HM (unless you really do need those extra att points). Old build, 200g per run, stil great exp =]

As I said, I was working with what I had at the time. Firestorm also does more damage, with plenty of burning coming from Rodgorts, although I see how you might consider compressing them.

And come on...you're farming with firestorm...the noob in everybody loves that

Just a note for people trying this. Sometimes, a rogue troll will interrupt your Djinn's, but that doesn't affect (in NM) the killing. It just means that, although all the trolls are missing you, they gained enough adrenaline to die...

Must try this for HM when I get my last 30 attribs, as I think they will make alot of difference.

I also still have only 2 skill points, as I've been trying to calm down a friend more than I have been farming so far
