Tilda

depends if its caster or if its a tank group with eld

 

[Shawr]

Don't forget random groups Lethul. In random groups an elds job is to die.

haha too right. Quick cast bolt, run in circles for 5 seconds and drop down dead (followed by optional shout of 'nerf savages').

 

[Gegge]

i guess u mean mana specced eld... disease, pb, s/c debuff etc.
nice utility on the class

 

[Boni]

Void :-

Bolt low AF targets.
Debuff Energy if grouped with mana mages.
Interupt.

Mana :-

Str/Con debuff and dis enemy assist train.
Coordinate pb with other pb'ers.
Interupt.

both can assist mana chanters with baseline light DD following a heat debuff and use nearsight assuming you spec 20+ light.

And light eld... there are a few... light eld can generally pick on any target and pwn em in 5 secs assuming they are a decent RR and got SC/Toa kits

Not alot of poeple like light elds as they dont have pbaoe, but tbh they can kick some serious ass. Nuke down a person in 3-4 quick nukes, can aoe mez etc. I played one a few times in RvR and found it pretty good fun tbh. Stand back a bit when attacking a group, target healers and kill em in a few very fast casting nukes. All goes well til the savage assist train sees u standing back and pwning their healers though

Trying duel a fully buffed light eld with a decent kit on with some range if u dont believe me

pwnd! :touch:

Well, I'll assume you're wanting to know an elds role in a pbaoe group. (and hence that that eld will be mana specced).

Mainly he's there to disease /debuff the assist train (that's not just str/con, includes single target str. Also single dex and dex/qui (if secondary light) vs dual wielders). In otherwords, elds main role in a group is to destroy the weapon skill of the other groups assist train. (this is assuming vs tank group atm).
Pbaoe ofc when anything comes to the box...assist the chanter with baseline light nuke if nothing in the box (and you aren't busy debuffing etc.)
Assuming light secondary spec again, there's also nearsight for enemy casters, snare/aoe snare if anything is chasing anyone in your group (though if they have aggro they should be coming to the box) and ofcourse disease on the support also, especially healers to half spread heal effectiveness and to interupt enemy support/mages with disease/low lvl aoe mez (if secondary light). I've probably forgotten something there however.
Vs mage groups it's mainly debuff dex/dex/qui on the mages, aoe str/con, disease, nearsight, kill (by assistin chanter with light dd) and interupt.

And of course, there's always the good old charge in hittin aoe str/con with the other pbers followin and kill in seconds when you get a group mezzed bunched up together routine.

You forgot "Get yer staff out and twat stuff" surely

 

[[NO]Subedai]

all in all a overpoweers class

 

[Cutri]

Oh yeah extremely overpowered <sarc>, until an enemy tank so much as sneezes on you

Personally I tend to get 1 or 2 bolts off on the enemy healers before the assist train decides its not a good idea to let me live
