this is just an example build, but with this, you can land churning earth on your target easier, given that they don’t condi cleanse. and when/if you do land it, the moment churning earth goes off, go into water attunement and launch arcane wave+arcane blast and see how much damage it does…4 seconds should be more than enough time to do all that, hopefully.

You’d be better off taking lightning flash instead of the signet and just moving 10 from fire into arcane to take elemental surge and tagging them with arcane blast while in earth then teleport ontop of them when the churn is casting.

I think I’d rather use Elemental Surge and fire off an Arcane Blast at about 1.9 seconds into the cast. Because most people will dodge at 2 seconds, and you can catch them before they do that way. Maybe combined with Lightning Flash…or Arcane Power, Elemental Surge and Lightning Flash to teleport to them and immobilize them at the same time…and then get a garatueed crit on the Churning Earth as well…

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.

I’d played around with this idea while I was still playing spvp. It’s a one trick pony and you don’t have much to fall back on if that person has condition removal or manages to dodge it.

A similar idea is to arcane power → lava font → switch to earth for a ticking immobilize. You can then also cast earth 2 (blast it if traited into the fire GM) and then do an air+arcane burst combo.

You’d still have the rest of your build to fall back on. ;-)

No, I see what you mean, but if Churning Earth really is that strong, landing that hit could win you the fight.

that sounds juicy
