Emo
An Emo is an unofficial term describing a set of bonders builds for Elementalist with a secondary Monk profession in PvE.
Typically used in high-level PvE areas, Emo builds rely on Energy Storage skills, more specifically Ether Renewal, in combination with quick, fast recharging spells such as Burning Speed, to generate amounts of energy high enough to counter the cost of the maintain enchantments offered by the monk attributes, such as Protective Bond. They are often meant to protect a tank, but can also tank themselves.
The name is a shorthand of the standard abbreviation for this profession combination, E/Mo and a pun on the Emo lifestyle.

GvG[edit]
An Emo in PvP, more specifically in GvG, usually describes E/Mo flag-runners. Using Air or Water Magic spells combined with Healing or Protection Prayers spells, these elementalists are able to run the flag, defend against splits or offer defensive support at the flag stand. In this case, Emo are rarely used to solo NPCs or other flaggers, but can backup teammates going after those targets.
Notes[edit]
- All the key skills of a PvE Emo are available for players with only the Prophecies campaign.
