Slam your staff down to create an elemental barrier in front of you, dealing 768 Magic Damage to enemies in the target area every 1 second.

Wall of Elements creates a path of elemental damage that will affect all enemies within its range. That damage will be either Fire Damage, Frost Damage, or Shock Damage depending on the type of staff you have equipped. The name changes based on the staff type as well:
Wall of Fire deals extra damage to enemies with the Burning status.
Wall of Frost reduces the movement speed and resistances of targets with the Chilled status and gives a damage shield to you and your allies.
Wall of Storms sets off-balance targets with the Concussed status.
The Unstable Wall of Elements morph:
Unstable Wall of Fire
Unstable Wall of Frost
Unstable Wall of Storms
deals additional damage to all nearby enemies when the effect ends, while the Elemental Blockade morph:
Blockade of Fire
Blockade of Frost
Blockade of Storms
increases the size and duration of the effect.
NotesEdit
- The area of effect is a long rectangular path in front of the caster. This makes it particularly effective for melee-based enemies who tend to run directly at you. Casting in a narrow hallway or other constrained space is a good strategy, as there is almost no chance of them avoiding the affected area.
- Only one Wall of Elements may be active at a time. Casting a second one will cause the first to expire early. This is particularly of note if using the Unstable Wall of Elements morph, as the explosion for the first casting will occur early if the spell is overridden in this way.
- Wall of Frost and its morphs apply Minor Breach against Chilled targets.
- Elemental Blockade is a recommended morph for the Gleaming Champion and Beast Caller builds.
- The Crushing Wall set from Maelstrom Arena increases the damage done by each tick of Wall of Elements, including the final detonation of Unstable Wall of Elements.
- Each tick of Wall of Elements can trigger the enchantment of the staff used to cast it, even if the player switches to the other bar.
