As an example, let's say you have a total of 1,100,000 HP and using the equation <code>(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3)</code>, that will be equivalent to 366,666 HP. Additionally if you have a total 196 INT and you substitute that value to the equation <code>(SummonerINT x 10)</code>, you'll get 1,960. Lastly with the equations (<code>SummonerJobLv x 20)</code> and <code>[(SummonLv + 2) ÷ 3]</code>, it'll give us values equal to 1,200 and 1.7 (assuming a High Elemental is considered in its Adult Form, could be lower if it's in Child Form; this will need confirmation first), respectively. Multiply 1,200 with 1.7 to yield a value equivalent to 2,040. Add up the remaining value of 25,000 HP from '''Lvl. 5''' '''Elemental Spirit Mastery''' to 366,666 HP + 1960 HP + 2,040 HP. The total value 370,666 HP will then be multiplied with '''Lvl. 5''' '''Elemental Sympathy''''s 25%, to give us the High Elemental's total HP of ≈'''<u>463,333</u>'''. This could be more if you used other class buffs; my basis for the 1,100,000 HP is from my [[The_Complete_Elemental_Master_Guide_by_Goldie#High_End_Tank_Gears|high end tank gears]] alone. | As an example, let's say you have a total of 1,100,000 HP and using the equation <code>(SummonerMaxHP ÷ 3)</code>, that will be equivalent to 366,666 HP.

Now for defensive stats, you could use the Performer skills '''{{#skill:309}}''', '''{{#skill:2382}}''', '''{{#skill:2351}}''', the High Priest skill '''{{#skill:361}}''', the Soul Reaper's {{#skill:2596}}'''Golem Soul''', the Arch Mage's '''{{#skill:5225}}''' when using '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:5232}}''', and the Sorcerer skill '''Lvls. 2 and 3''' <span style="color:brown;">'''{{#skill:2468}}'''</span>.

Remember, you have to apply these buffs unto your EM before you summon your spirits. It is also possible to directly apply the Assumptio skill on your summoned spirits but like any other buffs it will expire, unlike when you summon them while possessing all these buffs they will inherit all of it until they die or disappear. | ||
Now unfortunately to say but our Spirits won't benefit at all from Race%, Size%, Element%, and Protocol% reductions. So everything that you will work on your tank gears are focused on improving '''MaxHP%''', '''Max DEF,''' '''Max MDef''', and '''Max FLEE Rate'''. | Now unfortunately to say but our Spirits won't benefit at all from Race%, Size%, Element%, and Protocol% reductions.

Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable. As we've previously stated, this skill is good to have when you have enough points to expend; otherwise you can skip this skill since AoE skills will still damage them. When you're too cheap and would want to save your elemental catalysts, there's also '''{{#skill:2464}}''' that heals your Elementals and High Elementals alike by taking out 10% of your HP/SP. Now, when you use this skill you might want to swap back to your tank gears by then. This is simply because you have fewer HP with your DPS gears for sure and your Spirits have higher MaxHP% than you do. Healing them with Elemental Cure while having low amount of HP will also only heal them by small amounts, whereas if you use switch to your tank gears you have more MaxHP%. The only problem with this is once you've switched to your tank gears, your HP won't be full so to solve that problem bring with you some {{#item:607}}or {{#item:608}} to restore your HP/SP. One other way to heal your spirits passively is by placing them into '''Waiting Mode''' using '''{{#skill:2456}}'''. Remember they are passively recovering 2% HP/SP while in this mode for every 3 seconds. | Another defensive layer you can incorporate or use is the skill '''{{#skill:5381}}''', which turns your High Elementals transparent making them untargetable.

Both the Elementals and High Elementals follow the equations in calculating their individual stats. Now the question if High Elementals have their own set of equations the answer is nobody knows but the Gravity developers. Information regarding the 4th job summons are few and so for the meantime while we lack accurate info we'll be following this one right here. I could only imagine it being better for the High Elementals if they did have their own equations. As you can see, the formula don't include the 4th jobs traits such as STA, WIS, RES, & MRES, so if in a turn of events it did somehow included those traits then our High Elementals are supposedly should be tankier than Elementals. Fret not though, because even with those traits your High Elementals are still durable. With the proper set of tank gears, my High Elementals could survive even the most hard-hitting skills of MVPs such as Juncea's '''{{#skill:83}}''', Schulang's''' {{#skill:85}}''', Lasgand's '''{{#skill:91}} Heaven's Drive''', Sakray's '''{{#skill:2216}}''', Sorcerer Celia's '''{{#skill:2449}}''', Rune Knight Seyren's '''{{#skill:2006}}''', Temple Biosphere mobs' '''{{#skill:254}}''', the Dark Grand Crosses of the Depth Valkyries from Depth Abyss 2 as well as NPC Earthquakes from the Depth Salamanders. The only thing it can't survive so far is Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' though they can survive Tiara's, Warlock Katrinn's, and Fenrir's Tetra Vortex. | Both the Elementals and High Elementals follow the same equations in calculating their individual stats.

In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the end game stage. Mid game gears will also serve as the base gears that will let you farm certain areas where those aforementioned resources are dropped such as [[Mjolnir Underground Cave]] and [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere|Varmundt's Biosphere]]. | In the '''mid game''' section, these are the gears that you should have gotten as you gradually do the remaining episodic quests and farm for resources such as {{#item:25731}}, {{#item:25729}}and {{#item:1000322}}that you will need to build up your core gears for the end game stage.

Gears in this section are those that have been tested by me and are the gears that give out the strongest damage output for the class. I know most of you are only after this part and it's understandable, but I still do hope you reached this part of the guide after reading the vital pieces of information on what makes Elemental Master, as I cannot stress enough how overwhelming and complicated the class can be for the majority of the player base. That all aside, let's start on the different gear progressions. | ||
