Which skill do you use to teleport ? I didn’t think R/L worked for that.
Someone else mentioned might stacking. How would they do that ?
Also, didn’t understand this …."There is no way any attacking force (regardless of size) will ever ram down a gate with an elementalist group like this behind it. We stack churns behind the door, and teleport to the back of it, dropping churns "
(new to game and class)
The might-stacking reference is due to the combo fields. Being D/D ele, you get to drop a lot of combo fields. Casting spells in these combo fields gives you 3 stacks of might.
Alone, this is not a lot. You just get between 6-9 just through your normal processes of switching elements (churning into a ring of fire, for example). But now you have 3 elementalists.
And your ring of fire, is a combo field for another player’s ring of fire. If you have 3 elementalists dropping AoEs in each other’s rings, you get to 25 stacks of might in almost no time at all.
The reason we don’t do it BEFORE the engagement, is because (as easy as it might look) stacking 3 churns at the same instant is not easy. You dont have time to dance around a fire building might stacks before the churn. The first churn is always the weakest, but it is necessary because then all of your elementalists become synched. By the second churn, everyone has 25 stacks of might without even thinking about it (as long as they’re focusing the primary).
When my churn is up, I’ll know that my teammate’s churns are up. Etc.
The trick is in teaching your teammates to ‘Hold your churn" which you hear me state several times in the video. They’re still fighting, but they’re NOT using their earth element, which changes their play style drastically from a solo effort. This way, when the churn is called, they merely switch to earth and start casting (not waiting for the element cooldown).
For the door, it’s a lot easier. No pressure. Everyone stands behind the door being rammed. You start casting churning earth. You use the Lightning flash cantrip RIGHT before churn goes off to the spot inside the door being rammed. The AoE travels THROUGH the door (this is working as intended and not an exploit) in the same way that a catapult will hit the back side of the door and knock people off the ram.
4-5 elementalists hitting churn on the guy doing the ramming will knock him down ~20k health in an instant with 25 stacks of bleed. That sucker is going down. The ram will be down after the second or third attack.
Edit: Of course, I write all this out, and by the time that’s done the poster above has already answered everything :P
