Critical Defenses, this pick is mostly trash though.

Divine spirit, it's largely trash but in a situation where you're unlikely to get decent monk e-management (I know we allready have SoD) it can get you out of a tight spot.

Take Backfire. Having 10 seconds of shutdown in an arena with no hex removal is nice, better than anything else on there.

dark prison, since it's kind of like death's charge and is the most playable in the bunch. Teleporting warriors are always fun.

Frozen Burst is very tempting, but Plague Signet is probably stronger. Condition removal is incredibly valuable in this kind of play, because there are so few skills that fit the role. Throwing conditions back onto the enemy team is doubly useful, since there's a good chance they won't have gotten any removal.

True, but that's the fourth Elite we're taking now...

I'd take firestorm! If we're lucky hamstring comes up and we can run two warriors.

I'd actually hate draft frozen burst (why do we need it? we already have two snares) but it's best no one else gets it either. Plus, abominable snowman is win.

Firestorm is almost playable though. The Bodyguard does well with it.

Firestorm is definitely my first pick of the bunch. No need for another elite skill, and firestorm is a poor-man's MS which is killer when vod comes around

Firestorm sounds good, largely because lava font is already there.

thievery, because we already have another skill in the domination line and the rest of those picks are pretty bad.

So somebody's definitely going Elementalist, and somebody's definitely going Assassin...

I'll just say "Omg Called Shot!".
