If you are finding Aura of Restoration is not a good source of healing, (though you should only be taking 0's as it is), bring along another defensive spell. Some of these include Stone Striker (Geomancer armor is needed) or Kinetic Armor.

[edit] Usage

• First exit Gyala Hatchery into Maishang Hills.
• Then walk right until you see 3 patrolling groups of Kappas.
• Before aggroing, cast all your enchantments except Fire Attunement and aggro the 2 right groups while keeping up you enchantments.
• After that run back and aggro the 3rd group which is now behind you.
• Run to the left or right until all the kappa's ball up nice, make sure to keep up you enchantments (except Fire Attunement) all the time.
• When they are all balled up, you wait until all your enchantments are ready to cast and then you use every enchantment, including Fire Attunement.
• Then you cast Glyph Of Elemental Power, followed by Arcane Echo and then Searing Flames on one of the kappa's in the center of the group. Spam Searing Flames until all of them are dead.
• Pick up your loot and repeat.

Here you should really take Aura Of Restoration, because these foes will be able to hit you for more damage, so you need healing.

[edit] Usage

Note:This version of the usage of this build is actually the same as the Kappa version.

• Leave Saint Anjeka's Shrine, while you have the quest "A New Escort" active, if it isn't, there will be no Dragon Moss.
• Then walk ahead until you see the Dragon Moss, before you engage them in combat cast all your enchantments except Fire Attunement.
• Then aggro the Dragon Moss while keeping up your enchantments.
• After you got them all walk back because there is a group of patrolling warden coming your way.
• While walking back they should ball up nicely.(don't walk back to far or the Kurzick may attack the Dragon Moss, which can screw up the run.)
• If they are balled up use the same strategy as above to kill them.

[edit] Equipment

• Armor doesn't really matter, but Hydromancers (Aeromancers at Dragon Moss) armor will make sure you won't take damage, therefore, you can take another skill instead of Aura of Restoration.
• A "Insightful" staff with an "Of Enchanting" mod, perfect, with +10 energy and HSR and HCT 20% of fire magic spells.

[edit] Counters

• Not keeping up your enchants.
