Enter the Tempest Aeromancer (a pure Mage starting class with high Intelligence and Speed). This character focuses on Hydrosophist and Aerothurge magic. While the Juggernaut oils the battlefield, the Aeromancer casts Rain , turning oil slicks into harmless wet ground—and then follows with Blitz Bolt or Shocking Touch . The result? Enemies standing in water become Stunned. Enemies slowed by oil and then shocked are paralyzed. The synergy is perfect: Geomancy’s slow and physical disruption pairs with Aerothurge’s stuns and high-damage lightning. Additionally, the Aeromancer’s healing spells ( Minor Heal ) keep the Juggernaut standing, while the Juggernaut’s taunts and body-blocking keep fragile mages safe.
