Earth Skills/Glyphs

Earth Skill Tree

Active

Earth's Embrace	Increases damage resistance.
Earthquake	Area of effect attack with a chance of knock down reduced by targets dexterity.
Root	This skill reduces the movement speed on a single target. If the root is strong enough, it can immobilize the target (i.e. reduce its movement rate to zero). In PVP, the effectiveness of the root is mostly determined by adventure level (so, if you fight a player that is higher adventure level than you, root is essentially useless). Duration of the root is increased by the caster having a higher earth attunement, a higher root skill level, a higher strength, and a higher earth specialization. The root duration is decreased by the target having a higher earth attunement and a higher strength.
Shield of Crystal	Summons a shield of crystal that increases maximum health and increases earth attunement. Earth Specialization adds damage avoidance. This spell is considered a shield spell, and only one shield spell can be active at any given time.
Stone Arrow	Ranged earth attack that can ignore armor and gains bonus damage based on the caster's strength.
Stone Fist	Close range earth attack that gains bonus damage based on the caster's strength. Stone fist can stun multiple targets.
Strength of Earth	Increases strength. Strength of earth will not stack with Air's Embrace or Enlightenment.
Summon Earth Elemental
Torpor	For a brief period of time, the caster will be immobilized and will gain significant Damage Avoidance. Then the caster will emerge in a more healthy state (with increased health regeneration and increased strength).

Innate

Air Warding	Decreases air attunement, but increases air resistance. This skill is not effected by Earth Specialization or Earth Attunement.
Bulwark of Earth	Increases strength and damage resistance. This skill is not effected by Earth Specialization or Earth Attunement.
Earth Attunement	Attunement is not a skill in of itself; it is a calculated value. A higher earth attunement increases the power of Earth skills and increases earth magic resistance.
Earth Magic Specialization	Earth Magic Specialization is the devotion of one's self to the school of Earth Magic. It increases earth attunement, decreases air resistance, and adds beneficial effects for all non-innate Earth Magic spells. NOTE: You can only specialize in 2 skill schools at a time. You can either have one specialization set to train and one set to maintain, or you can have both specializations set to maintain (thus, you can only train one specialization at a time). If you try to train a 3rd specialization, one of your other 2 specializations will automatically be set to unlearn.
Sympathy of Stone	Increases damage avoidance and max damage deflection. This skill is not effected by Earth Specialization or Earth Attunement.
