1) I don't have Shock on any warrior, opting for Protector's Strike instead. Should I drop Frenzy on one for Shock? It just isn't...well...I'm not too used to not having Shock.

2) I think the two elementalists are doing way too many things; I'm looking to drop some skills. Although if they are fine (which I really doubt) I'd keep them like that.

Ellys corrected once; any more comments?

3) I don't know about keeping the Domination mesmer as a /E for Gale, or switch to /Mo for a Resurrection Chant. (Done.)

Yeah. Need questions answered, and general tips/etc.

Eles.

Draw conditions/ward against melee on a runner? O.o

Switch Shard storm for res sig

You could switch gale on the mesmer for draw conditions, and therefore freeing up the space for lightning orb, otherwise just switch gale for lightning orb

Energy storage is not really that important on a prodigy ele, consider dropping it down 1 or 2 on each ele and increasing air magic.

Consider taking off aegis, the ele will often be out of range.

The runner could do with a snare, either gale or ice prison would do well.

Hope i've helped, sorry if my post is a bit unclear, but basically you are trying to do too many things, ward against melee and aegis are wasted skills and attributes on the runner, while shard storm takes up too many attribs and takes up the place of res sig

The overall build idea looks ok, character builds need some work though.

I would go with shock warriors, KD looks better than a spammable damage skill. Didn't play much with prot strike in GvG though. I really don't like Flesh of my flesh though, I'd run a hard rez on the mesmer.

Me/Mo with a hard rez and Power Drain instead of Gale for a bit more e-management looks ok.

The eles need a bit work IMO. I like the chain aegis, so this is what I'd suggest :

Flag Stand E/Mo :

10+4 Air Magic
8+1 Energy Storage
9 Protection Prayers
9 Healing Prayers

- Ether Prodigy*
- Lightning Orb
- Blinding Flash
- Gale
- Draw Conditions
- Aegis
- Heal Party
- Resurrection Signet

Runner E/Mo

9+3 Air
8+1 Energy Storage
8+1 Water
7 Protection Prayers
9 Healing Prayers

- Ether Prodigy*
- Deep Freeze
- Ice Spikes
- Ice Prison
- Blinding Flash
- Healing Breeze
- Aegis
- Extinguish

Attributes on the runner are a bit tight, there's probably a more efficient way, it's just a suggestion.

Superiors on monks? ew. bring rez sig on warriors, flesh of my flesh causes warriors to lose a ton of efficiency by waiting so long to rez.

no shock makes me kind of sad.

why is hexbreaker on that warrior's bar, exactly? i'd rather see empathic removal there, personally, which will remove condition, hexes on both him and another.

Frenzy cancel.

Don't need Empathic with Expel Hexes anyway.

Which was why I was debating on removing that for ressig and putting the job to the Mesmer. Looks like it.

Superiors have ()s around them; I don't intend for them to be used much.

And yes, I know I have problems with the eles. They need a huge lot of work.

Removing Ward on the runner for Ressig.
Removing Draw Conditions on the runner for Gale (<3).
Removing Shard Storm on the first ele for Resurrection Signet.
Removing Flesh of my Flesh from Warriors.
Changing Me/E to Me/Mo for Draw Conditions and hard resurrection skill.

Have to rush off somewhere for the moment, will change original post later on.

Also, I'm sort of contemplating sticking Heal Party on the runner and kicking another skill to the other ele (basically a switch), since Aegis, Heal Party, and Extinguish are both radar-wide skills (?) and can be used more than other offensive skills for the runner.

The elementalists need more work.

You could always go for a sacce'd res chant on one of your eles for a hard res.
