Combo for My Favorite Spells
* AoE (Area of Effect) = Shift + Spell Casting Button

(1) Cold + 1 to 4 Earth + AoE (More Earth grants wider range): Stunlock the enemies within the range. This is a life saver spell.

(2) Steam + Steam + 1-2 Arcane + 1-2 Lightning: This is a spell which costs enormous beam damage on target(s). It can be used as AoE, awesome damage but very short ranged (remember the lvl30 shock nova from Diablo 2? this is exactly it).

(3) 1-3 Fire + 1-3 Earth + Shield: This creates volcano wall infront of the caster, useful to block off the melee enemies. (AoE effect is a wall surrounds the caster)

(4) 1-4 Water + Earth: Knockback opponents in the range, usually destroy shield. A good spell to remove shields from enemy casters.

(5) Shield: Use boost key to increase the durability of the shield. (Default key is spacebar)
