pretty tough considering ele's dont melee much .... and SY is an adrenal skill ..... but u could attack with your staff and use that warrior adrenal skill with 200% adrenaline charged and put a furious mod on staff ....

Staffs don't have furious mods. Imho, I would use a furious spear, that way, you could caster mod it.

cough furious mod on a staff? since when do staffs have furious mods?

and i mainly use a spear in pve since of the bonuses it gives me which outweigh the less damage i get (especially since both wands and staffs are so slow in attack that the damage is next to nothing)

Np, never tested it, because... well, the idea of E/W using a weapon disgusts me. But remember to use spear. Flail is for the times where elite skill won't work due to downtime of the shout.

See, most Imbagons use BOTH an IAS AND Focused Anger (a Leadership elite skill) chained with "For Greater Justice!". The original Imbagon works decently with ranks 3 and up in the Allegiance title track. So, it is possible to go E/W and do without Focused Anger, yet it requires a far higher rank to work properly (7+, so that SY! lasts 5 seconds, minimum), an IAS alone being insufficient to fill up the shout again before it ends without the double adrenaline gain.

Have a look at this:

Made for exactly the same reason you posted, and deleted from trial/testing builds for the reason of people being unable to think their way out of a paper bag.
