Pooping out a pile of rit spirits is pretty much insta-win.

But if you want ele skills only, I hear blinding surge with a life stealing or enchant stripping skill works too.

I used a dual attunement air spiker. only one i couldn't take down was Razah because he spirit spams but in the 7 tournaments i did i only fought him once.

E/N

Att: 16 Air, 13 ES, rest in curses

Lightning Orb
Lightning Hammer
Enervating Charge
Blinding Flash
Rend Enchantments (useful against Mhenlo, and a few others)
Aura of Restoration (great healing with the high cost air spells)
Air Attunement
Elemental Attunement

Keep the melee blinded and watch out for a few interrupts, but your spells recharge pretty fast anyway so it's not a big issue.

The hardest part is timing Blinding Flash on Magni at the end (which isn't hard at all TBH). He uses Purge Signet regularly, so keep him blinded but keep an eye on what skill he's using. Don't use BF if it's been more than about 16-18 seconds since he last purged because he'll strip blind immediately. If he uses purge immediately after you blind him you won't be able to re-apply it fast enough.

Most fights are over in seconds, and Magni takes maybe a minute. He has a lot of health.

My best friend repeatedly won the tourney as an air Ele (mesmer secondary) using Blinding Surge and Arcane Echo to instantly reapply when Bison removed the condition. While keeping him blinded, she used a few health/energy stealing spells and slammed him with lightning spike damage.

I don't have the exact build, but it served her well for the whole tourney. She's beaten it a few times.

It may not be the best of its type, but I used Stoning, Ebon Hawk, Elemental Attunement, Earth Attunement, Armor of Earth, Stoneflesh Aura, Sliver Armor and Mystic Regen. You can't lose, but a few of the enemies can't be beat by this either, such as Mhenlo. BTW, a 20/20 earth staff of enchanting is very handy here.

Almost every build has it's Nemesis, but I've been trying the one just a few posts up and works fine. I prefer my own build of Earth, but i've to tell, that with an Ele, just try to find Norgu, Detonation, and you're dead.

Keep on trying.

Thank you very much. I knew air was the way to go but having this little guide to help with the details is very convenient. You should post the template code if you have it handy!

easiest way to kill everything in Norn Tournament:

Elementalist/Assasin

12+1+3 Fire magic
12 Shadow Mastery
3+2 Energy Storage

Skills:
1. Glyph of Concentration
2. Shadow Form
3. Meteor Shower
4. Bed of Coals
5. Phoenix
6. Flame Djinn Haste
7. Dark Escape
8. Optional

It Kills everyone <15 seconds but Magni which takes 2 rounds to be killed.

i finished the tournament over 20 times and this build really kills everything player vs NPC
