Earth Iop Build For a great in depth look at how to build and itemize your Earth Iop check out this site

Any opinions about this guide? I'm going to play earth Iop after beta and I'm not sure, should I follow this...

the 8ap earth iop is one of my favourite builds but don't level show off, you don't need it because if i remember correctly authority/show off trigger the same state that stack (power, capped at 100%) and with maxed authority is simple to have maxed power.

i prefer to go for compulsion and then authority because early on (6ap) you attack less times and it takes you 30 levels to get that damn ap (to reach 8ap with equipment).

i loved the spell flatten in the .311 but in this version of the game cost a lot, i don't know if it's really worth leveling it. maybe jump is better because it has no los at lvl 9.

Ok, I have another question. Is it good idea to use Guttling gust and Uppercut? I mean, extra dmg for 0AP is always nice. But when you constantly cast those spells, they're stealing XP from your earth spells. And they will never hit that hard, because of no agi.

maybe gutting gust and uppercut aren't that strong but they are really useful to trigger authority and you want it because it's +dmg% for free.
first you cast uppercut and gutting gust (if you are sorrouded by 2 mobs and have 4mp you can cast 2 gutting gust) then you cast double shaker so you end up having shaker boosted by the power bonus.

you can boost air damage with items, there are some that gives more than 1 element damage boost and remember that you have already a +40% bonus to all damages thanks to compulsion and with authority you can reach +140%.
