- Keep up your enchantments and Mantra of Earth
- Use Crystal Wave and Sliver Armor for more damage
- If energy runs low, let the enemies hit you so you can gain energy with Mantra of Earth

- Consider replacing Succor with...
- Again, if wanting to avoid fights, bring a running skill such as...
[edit] Equipment
- Radiant armor and Runes of Attunement
- A +20 energy staff
- Activate Serpent's Quickness to keep QZ up indefinitely
- Place down and maintain your Spirits away from combat, but enough to still have the effect in place on the enemies
- Put Watchful Spirit and Succor on the Tank for some Health/Energy regeneration
- Put Essence Bond on as well to counteract the effects of Succor
- In the odd chance the tank dies, use Rebirth to get him/her out of harm
[edit] Team Usage
- This build is designed for general farming, so it can be used in most areas
- When a mob is somewhat nearby, start laying down Spirits and Monk Enchantments
- Let the Elementalist rush in while the Ranger lies back. Make sure the Elementalist doesn't leave the area affected by the Spirits or Enchantments, though.
- Let the Elementalist tank while the Spirits deal most of the damage
- If the Elementalist isn't taking any damage, remove the Monk Enchantments, as they'll kill the Ranger's Energy.
- QZ should speed up the recharge of all the skills, letting you be ready to go again
- If you're running the Ranger on a hero, you may have to manually cast the Spirits. This can be troublesome, but is easier than constantly needing a player to run with.
