Again, this skill is not related to any other elementalist skill just because it gives +armor, please don't add it again.

Why not? I think this is EXTREEMLY related to several other earth elementalist enchantments, and even Armor of mist, armor of frost, so on. Don't be so obstinant. Once Great King 02:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Extremely Good for Aftershock Warriors[edit]

This is extremely good for Warriors who like to use Earth Shaker and Aftershock. Why? It makes up for the lost defense from shield+a whole lot more. I don't see why you WOULDN'T take this skill. Bisurge 20:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Because at the very least, you are moving 20+% slower and if you are melee, that is horrible.--Dragonious 05:26, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you're tanking this could be useful, cos u don't need to move if it's a boss,or lots of foes that take a long time, the armor bonus is useful, I don't know very much about tanking though. --User:Familyofcinderpaw

Dolyak[edit]

If used with 0 spec with Dolyak Will you not be able to move? lol Roflmaomgz 04:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

.5 multiplied by .75 is .375. Therefore, someone inane enough to combine these skills (outside of farming purposes) would move at 37.5% normal speed. 141.165.171.12 04:55, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
.5*(1-0.75)= .125 so it would not snare you to 37.5% but rather down to 12.5% or an 87.5% snare.--Cavalry 06:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Hero Behavior[edit]

After more thorough testing than before, I found the actual conditions for when it is used. The hero has to be in combat and below 80 % health. I tested the build OgRCkMzAAAAAAAUqhAA (without wielding a weapon) against a Flash Gargoyle. When starting combat at full health, the hero took dozens of hits and used Armor of Earth at 80 % health. When starting combat after two Order of Pains, the hero used it immediately, even when obstructed for the gargoyle and thus without taking damage.

However, its priority seems to be pretty low. When used with OgRCkMzTW1boLaaCjShhAAA against the skeleton group outside Bergen Hot Springs, the hero often prioritized the offensive spells, even single-target ones. 94.254.109.238 10:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
