Frank's Elestra Hybrid Build

Frank's Elestra Hybrid Build 
by PokeKai [ source

Definitely isn't a pure PVE or PVP build, but works extremely well in both cases as a tank. So hybrid build it is!
*****Build will change if shanda decides to change the shields*****




Flame Worm:Level 5 To enable the fire skills for Elemental Lord
Glacial Spike: Level 5 To enable the ice skills for Elemental Lord
Poison: Max level. One of the best and easiest skill to spam. Starting at level 12 or 13 three spores are shot instead of two.
Shock Wave: Level 1 Just as a defense skill. Knock back any enemy that tries to come near you.
Meditation: Level 1. Free skill lol.
Counter Spell: Max. Allows you to get back on your feet when knocked down.
Aerial Evasion: Max. Allows you to jump in mid air when being attacked to possibly avoid any further hits
Blink:Max. Allows you to teleport a certain distance so that you can dodge or just to travel faster.
Escape: Max. Allows you to teleport while being attacked regardless the position you are in. This is the best evasion skill sorceress gets.
Mental Mastery:Level 2 to unlock Mental Training.
Mental Training: Level 1 to unlock Mana Payback




Fireball: Max. One of my favorite skills to use. It almost has infinite range. Aim takes practice. Extremely powerful. You can also blink to escape when you are charging.
Inferno: Level 3 Just to unlock Firewall
Firewall: Level 2 Just to unlock Fire Shield. This is also a great defensive skill to use. It has decent super-armor
Fire Shield: Max. Allows me to tank almost everything.
Flame Rod: Max. Allows me to travel fast/long distances. Also one of Elemental Lords strongest skills.
Flame Spark: Level 1 This is great to add delay on opponents. It helps chain a lot of combo's while moving on your feet.

Freezing Sword: Max. This is Elestras main skill. It does great damage and slows your opponent. Also level 11 is needed to unlock EX
Freezing Field:Level 3 Just to unlock Ice Stab. I do use this quite often because of the range and it slows enemy movement for a while.
Ice Stab: Level 2 Great damage, slows enemy movements, and allows you to chain a lot of skills afterwards. I find this to be a very good defense skill. Just cast and it will stay in the area for a few seconds. During that duration, you can cast other skills.
Freezing Shield: Max. Allows me to tank almost everything. Having maxed both fire/ice shield and having Ice Barrier allows me to be a tank. Everyone always tells me i'm wasting points until they see me fight. I can take huge amounts of damage and that gives me more chances to deal great damage after opponent has spammed their skills.
Chilling Mist: Maxed. Big area of effect that slows your opponent. It's strong!
Blizzard: I prefer Vortex, but after the KRDN update, blizzard freezing rate will triple. Also don't want to spend 10 SP points to learn a second ultimate
Mana Payback: Let's me spam and I never have to worry about MP. Also definitely recommended for SDN since pots aren't allowed (unless you want to spend $ on special SD pots)





Ice Barrier: Level 3. Max is level 2, however I have a skill ring +1. This is great in absorbing damage. Unlike fire/ice shield, you won't be delayed when being hit. It also freezes nearby enemies once the barrier is destroyed.
Ice Spear:  Max. Great defensive skill that shoots in all direction and freezes them at 40% chance. Does huge amount of damage on big monsters.
Freezing Sword EX: Max. This is the skill that makes Elestra's special. Increases the area of effect by A LOT! Also adds 30% damage.



Arch Bishop Set 7/7
Level 50A Wind Necklace and Earrings
Level 50A Magic Hermosa Ring
Level 50A Skill Ring (Ice Barrier)

-In the process of making Fireball or Freezing Sword Necklace. Also poison ring and glacial spike earrings.



All of these plates are 40A plates with 3rd stat critical. Only two aren't 3rd stat crit plates. One is magic and the other is INT.

-Freezing Sword/Fireball damage increase plate: Self explanatory
-Freezing shield/Fire shield damage reduction plates. I alternate my shields and don't stack them. So having both entitles me to a super long duration of god mode where i can tank everything.

ArchBishop Solo. You can see how much I rely on all 3 of my shields.
