Unlike [[Arch Mage]], Elemental Master has a lot of utility skills (i.e. Land Protector, Dispell, Blinding Mist, Insignias, Defensive Stances of Spirits, etc.) in its arsenal, making it possible for the class to leave behind defensive gears, and run full DPS while surviving most of the monsters' and bosses' skills and attacks.

Future and relevant updates arriving to the class with regards to new gears and builds will be listed down in this [[The Complete Elemental Master Guide by Goldie#Future|section]]. Estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the server is still to be determined (TBD) but this will be updated over time for futureproofing.

* Place 10 skill points on this one and max it out. A good skill to defend yourself and your party members against normal melee attacks. When supporting, you can just spam this underneath your party's tank. Be sure to bring a lot of Blue Gemstones not only for spamming Safety Wall but for your subsequent skills in the Sage branch.

* Requires 1 {{#item:717}} to cast. Can be purchased from '''NPC''' '''Tool Dealer''' in any towns for 1,500 zeny.
* In places like [[Tower of Trials]] where monsters and MVPs such as the High Orcs and Fallen Bishop cast the Acolyte skill '''{{#skill:25}}''', placing and spamming Safety Walls directly underneath or 1 cell around these monsters will prevent them from casting Pneuma. You can use this tactic to aid your long-range teammates from having their attacks miss.
* When a single instance of a melee physical attack/skill exceeds the durability of Safety Wall, the wall's longevity ceases to disintegrate and the excess damage won't anymore pierce right through to anyone standing on its cell.
* Its MaxHP or durability is influenced by the caster's Job Level, INT, and MaxSP as determined by this formula:
** <code>'''Durability (MaxHP) = Base_Durability + 7000 × (1 + 0.1 × Job_Lv ÷ 50) + 65 × INT + Max_SP'''</code>
** A Level 10 Safety Wall has a base durability value of 3000 and stays active on the floor for 50 seconds until it gets destroyed or cleared by skills.
* Requires 1 {{#item:717}} to cast. Can be purchased from '''NPC''' '''Tool Dealer''' in any towns for 1,500 zeny. 500 pcs. of Blue Gemstones can be packaged into a {{#item:100192}}by talking to the '''NPC Gemstone Bagger''' {{#navi:geffen_in|74|175}} in '''Geffen''' ('''@go 2''') for lighter accessibility.

You can even throw in some '''{{#skill:6517}}''' if you so desire which is only fitting since both are psionic skills!

For some endgame dungeons such as [[Forgotten Time]], [[Varmundt's Biosphere]], and [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth]], it is finally possible to farm these three areas with Psychic Wave with much better efficiency since the arrival of the {{#icon:480351}}{{#linkitem:480351|Circulation of Life Autumn}} and {{#icon:490485}}{{#linkitem:490485|Signet of Circulation Autumn}}— (2) two new additions to the Hall of Life series equipment. For comparison, every time I would farm [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere#Biosphere_Temple|Varmundt's Biosphere (Temple)]] I get significantly higher yields of '''850'''~'''950''' {{#icon:25731}}{{#linkitem:25731|Zeluniums}} and '''1050'''~'''1110''' {{#icon:25729}}{{#linkitem:25729|Shadowdecons}} than when I am using the usual autocast Elemental Buster build which I would only get '''700'''~'''750''' Zeluniums and '''900'''~'''950''' Shadowdecons; this upscaled performance is reasonably attributed to the fact that PW is a lingering DoT skill, has a wider AoE, and is easily more spammable which give you plenty of opportunities to cover more grounds and kill more mob. However for [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2]], PW build falls flat and you're better off using your 4th job skills here. You don't really need to follow this build if it is not your cup of tea but if you're among those people who played the class as a Sorcerer in the past and played PW build like me; well, this is genuinely my love letter to them. As of today this is still my favorite build to play despite being here now in the 4th jobs era. I hope you'll consider this build and have fun with it just as I do.

For comparison, every time I would farm [[Varmundt%27s_Biosphere#Biosphere_Temple|Varmundt's Biosphere (Temple)]] I get significantly higher yields of '''850'''~'''970''' {{#icon:25731}}{{#linkitem:25731|Zeluniums}} and '''1050'''~'''1110''' {{#icon:25729}}{{#linkitem:25729|Shadowdecons}} than when I am using the usual autocast Elemental Buster build which I would only get '''700'''~'''750''' Zeluniums and '''900'''~'''950''' Shadowdecons; this upscaled performance is reasonably attributed to the fact that PW is a lingering DoT skill, has a wider AoE, and is easily more spammable which give you plenty of opportunities to cover more grounds and kill more mob. However for [[Varmundt's Biosphere Depth 2]], PW build falls flat and you're better off using your 4th job skills here. You don't really need to follow this build if it is not your cup of tea but if you're among those people who played the class as a Sorcerer in the past and played PW build like me; well, this is genuinely my love letter to them. As of today this is still my favorite build to play despite being here now in the 4th jobs era. I hope you'll consider this build and have fun with it just as I do.

I've always viewed Psychic Wave as more of a Farming build and less as a core DPS build which is why any pieces of gears that will make PW optimal and comfortable for farming will be chosen over damage once you can one-hit to two-hit knockout monsters with the skill.

For starters, the [[Shadow_Gear#Eno_(A-H)|Lord Bearer's set]] comprising of {{#icon:24764}}{{#linkitem:24764|Lord Bearer's Shadow Armor}}+ {{#icon:24763}}{{#linkitem:24763|Lord Bearer's Shadow Shoes}}is preferably chosen over Sorcery Master Shadow and Full Spell Shadow due to the Lord Bearer's undeniable utility in the form of permanent '''{{#skill:8}}''' effect. By having unlimited Endure, you can never be flinched by normal physical attacks of monsters which will make your farming more efficient and smooth. When opting for higher damage per tick of PW, decently enchanted '''Clever Shadow Gears''' will give slightly more damage than '''Magical Spell Shadow Gears''' since PW does not scale directly with SPL unlike your 4th job skills; and while SPL grants some StatusMAtk which PW can benefit from, the MAtk% from the Clever Shadow Gears bears more weight and value for PW. Additionally, Magical Spell needs to pair with '''Full Spell Shadow Gears''' to maximize its shared bonuses and using the Lord Bearer's set will occupy the armor and shoe slots.

However if you're still lacking in the damage department, '''Psychic Shadow Gears''' will give out the highest damage output ''per tick'' of PW while '''Sorcery Master Shadow Gears''' is for overall DPS including your 4th job skills. Sorcery Master Shadow Gears are also incredibly expensive to make so when in need of more damage just stick with Psychic Shadow Gears or the combination of Full Spell Shadow''' + '''Magical Spell Shadow which were once your transitory gears from your autocast Elemental Buster build that can still serve their purpose.

If you're looking to spice things up and wanting a different flavor in your builds, then well maybe '''{{#skill:2445}}''' is the build you're looking for! This build is more of a 'for fun' build and you can never expect it to keep up with the meta build now for Elemental Master. EMs are flexible with their choices of elements, they  use all of their elemental AoEs in a skill rotation, and even their own ultimate can be endowed. But if you want to bonk monsters to death with the power of knowledge then this section of the guide is for you! Spell Fist won't be getting gear progression stages though as I expect that by the time you invest on this fun build, you're already done with your main build as you should be.

Spell Fist build hasn't changed that much since its implementation during the 3rd job era. It's only gotten stronger like most skills that came with it and before it due to the 4th job traits. Spell Fist gameplay remains the same wherein you'll need to aim and cast your chosen elemental bolt skill first on a target then immediately apply Spell Fist. Though for the 4th jobs skill tree, it's gotten a blink skill in the form of '''{{#skill:6517}}''' which made farming as a Spell Fist EM much tolerable. All of our High Elementals on Passive Mode also complements Spell Fist. When in Passive Mode, your bolt skills corresponding to the summoned High Elementals gets increased base damage and you have a chance to autocast the highest level learned of that bolt skill. And that's the extent of what's improved with Spell Fist so far; most of the 4th job skills complement the caster build of an EM.

All of our High Elementals on Passive Mode also complements Spell Fist. When in Passive Mode, your bolt skills corresponding to the summoned High Elementals receives increased base damage by adding a value of 400% to their base MAtk%. For example, if a '''Level 1''' '''{{#skill:19}}''' skill does 100% <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> property magical damage per hit/bolt, this would translate to 1000% at '''Level 10'''—effectively 5000% (100% + 400% x Skill Lv.10) with Passive Mode activated; on top of that, you will also have a chance to autocast the highest level learned of that bolt skill. And that's the extent of what's improved with Spell Fist so far; most of the 4th job skills complement the caster build of an EM.  


I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming. Its main source of damage will be coming from outdated 1st Job Mage skills with the likes of '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:14}}''', and '''{{#skill:20}}''' and even though these skills will get supplemented by your '''{{#skill:279}}''' and '''{{#skill:482}}''' skills it still won't be enough as the elemental bolts don't scale with your base level and their MAtk% is comparably lower than your 4th Job or even your 3rd Job skills. There are little to none existing equipment that give Spell Fist modifier too besides the {{#icon:18793}}{{#linkitem:118793|Sorc Night Cap}}, which gets outshined by {{#icon:400662}}{{#linkitem:400662|Furious Crown (Elemental Master)}} that lets you autocast the 4th Job skill '''{{#skill:5373}}''' when paired with {{#icon:540091}}{{#linkitem:540091|Furious Grimoire}}. It's also discouraging to use strong garment cards like {{#icon:27362}}{{#linkitem:27362|(MVP) Polluted Spider Queen Card}} because of its side effect of you receiving more damage against all properties. With all that being said, I advise you to play this build for fun and if and only if you really know what you're going into. It'll always going to have that charm as being a unique build to play.

The choice of Shadow Gears for Spell Fist is almost identical to Psychic Wave's, but in Spell Fist's case we want to maximize the highest possible damage output; hence, we will use either '''Sorcery Master Shadow Gears''' or '''Full Spell''' + '''Magical Spell Shadow Gears''', with Sorcery Master Shadow as the strongest one.

You have multitudes of autocasted elemental bolt skills and melee magical attacks that scale with your bolts as your main sources of damage for Spell Fist and funneling all the modifiers to them will give you better damage output with a Spell Fist build.

The enchant stones that give elemental bolt modifiers are {{#item:25803}} and {{#item:25419}}. The {{#item:25302}} works well with Spell Fist and gives you more chances to land your melee magical auto attacks more than once.

Line 5,649: Line 5,658:
Remember when I told you Elemental Master is a versatile class? That's because it's actually the best tank to use against '''Betelgeuse''' from [[Constellation Tower]]. The class with its passive '''{{#skill:284}}''' from the Sage branch gives it an inherent +'''20% resistance against Dragon races''' such as Betelgeuse, making it possible for the class to reach '''100% Dragon resistance''' when combined with other gears with more Dragon resistances. You may follow most of this section's tank build against [[Alice_Twisted_Madness#Monsters|Alice Twisted Madness]]' Jabberwocky as him and Betelgeuse are both Dragons, but I cannot guarantee that the execution of your skills will be the same for both MVPs as they have their own separate mechanics.

Upon reaching 100% Dragon resistance, most of Betelgeuse's attacks and skills will only deal "1" damage or will be registered as "1-1-1-1" damage to your EM Tank, and increasing your defensive values further in RES, MRes, DEF, and MDef won't make a difference anymore. On another note, Betelgeuse inflicts a "'''fixed amount of physical damage'''" unto you with a value of '''10''','''000''' that is only reducible by '''{{#skill:404}}'''. It comes in '''two''' ('''2''') '''forms''': '''1st one''' is a series of attacks wherein <u>only the first and initial hit</u> would inflict that 10k to you; '''2nd one''', called as https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/653.png '''Killing Aura''', is a DoT attack that reduces your HP by 10k on certain intervals while you're inside his circle. General physical defensive stats like RES and DEF can't reduce these values and not even your own '''{{#skill:157}}''' decreases it. However, building more HP values (eg. MaxHP or MaxHP%) would indirectly decrease the value of that 10k and placing Wall of Fogs underneath you would further cut down its value by only inflicting 75% of that 10k and thus it will only deal 7,500 damage to you; plus an added 75% chance for those hits and Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' to miss. Be mindful on the proper placement of your Wall of Fogs because if Betelgeuse is standing on it your allies that attack with targeted skills will have a shared chance for theirs to miss.

Besides Betelgeuse, there are also moving traps during the 2nd and 3rd Phases of the fight. When you go near and touch any of the traps, it will inflict damage to you according to your MaxHP% ''in variance''. The '''2nd Phase traps''' take out about 80%~85% of your MaxHP, while the '''3rd Phase traps''' take out about 75%~80% of your MaxHP. Like Betel's "fixed 10k damage", the traps' damage are irreducible by elemental resistances (i.e. <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>/<span style="color:red;">Fire</span> Armor or {{#icon:12119}}{{#linkitem:12119|Coldproof Potion}}/{{#icon:12118}}{{#linkitem:12118|Fireproof Potion}}), defensive stats, Energy Coat, and even Wall of Fog; Land Protector won't also protect you against them. The traps also have a small chance to instantly kill you and it will not matter whether you're the tank or the DPS.
