Churning earth most likely. AOE ability with a 3 1/4 s. cast time, large area of effect, applies bleed stacks as well as direct damage and is typically initiated outside of combat and then the ele uses lightening flash to teleport in to the target area.

If he hit you that hard, one or both of you must be glass.

It was probably this combo.

He said jump in the air so I’m assuming earthquake + LF + CF + Fire grab.

CE doesn’t hit for 15K but fire grab can.

This guy got owned in pvp and is QQing and trolling. His combat log would clearly tell him which ability hit for 15k.

Nothing to see here, move along.

I have another question. I have equipped scepter and dagger and I am attuned to air.
When I use skill number 5 (Updraft) it rolls me quite a few meters back.. in my opinion that’s not very helpful because I am activating it to run faster forwards, not to be pushed back (looks like a dodge backwards) and then run to where I stand before and after that I am able to use it as I wanted it.
Instead of 10,5 seconds I am able to run faster for around 8s due to its countdown by activating.
Is that working as intended? If yes there is a lack in description and it should be added that it pushes you back before you are able to run faster.

Updraft is working as intended.

And since you are S/D, Rtl → Updraft → Fire Attunement → Dragon’s Tooth → Ring of Fire → Phoenix is a very nice combo, all spells will deal damage before your opponent can get up.

The primary purpose of the skill is its blowback, not the swiftness. That said, if you run through your target before hitting updraft it will propel you forward.

You can use this skill in 2 ways.

1. Ride the lightning wait one sec (so you know your updraft is gonna hit) then updraft to knock back lay down your combo field the lay the smack down with some finishers.

The reason you go backwards is so you got time to get your combo field out and start with some finishers.

2. Updraft can be used defensively to mitigate dmg, stomp interupt or give you some distance to run.

You don’t use ride the lightning, you use lightning flash (utility spell). The combo is …

-Earthquake
-Lightning Flash mid cast
-Cleansing Fire
-Fire attunement
-Fire grab
