Team build be like this
2 Starbursts and 1 Shockwave
or
2 Shockwaves and 1 DD
or
2 Shockwaves and 1 Starburst
or
2 DD's and 1 Shockwave

2 DD's and 1 Starburst
or
2 Starbursts and 1 DD
1)Shatterstone
1) Stone Shaeth
2) Healing Bursts or 1 Healing Burst and 1 Prot

What suggestions would have? Much appreciated

Thank you.

Given the choices I'd say only only take one DD, cause the enchantments may end up overlapping otherwise.

Honestly, PBAoE Ele's are not that effective barring certain areas like the deep. Heroes don't effectively use the spells; those with Starburst tend to run away after casting it, what not.

I will say that they use Double Dragon and the like flawlessly, though, so keep that in mind.

There's no real point trying to make ele focused team builds until the non-elite changes/part 2 of the update happens. And as said AoE let alone PBAoE is not the good focus of general team builds, and AI is really quite bad with PBAoE.

I just tried 1 Shockwave, 1 DD, 1 Starburst and results were very epic. pretty much 1 shotting anything in sight. having shatterstone, Thunderclap, Stone Sheath as backline with 2 monks is nice combo, but still wish had 2 ER Eles healers but need to do NF to get them.

I'm currently running a Shockwaver (me) ,1 DD and a Thunderclaper and a mes with fragility
basically i shadowstep in with some prot, make the mob ball up and faceroll

I tried a 3 way Starburst setup (with the earth protect stuff too) and they were still getting killed right and left in like Warband of Brothers HM and Tahnnahki Temple NM. The inherent problem is that they tend to run up into harms way faster than the backline can react.

1. Player Build
2. DD, PBAoE, Shadow Steps
3. DD, PBAoE, Shadow Steps
4. Shockwave, Shadow Steps
5. Mirror of Ice, PBAoE, Shadow Steps
6. ST, Shelter
7. Icy Veins, Resto
8. Icy Veins, Resto

Run 2 shadow steps per Ele, highlight yourself before the fight and tell them to use one. The first target you ping when you run up they'll shadow step to. Explode things.

That not bad setup. I was thinking ST Shelter Rit instead of a Stone Sheath ele since AI still needs improving with that spell. ST Shelter Rit would provide good defense.

Icy Veins Rit Healers be not bad idea also dmg and nice healing.

Setup I have atm
1 Starburst (me)
1 DD
1 Shockwave
1 Thunderclap (interupt)
1 Shatterstone (Backline dmg)
1 Stone Sheath (armor and dmg)
UA
LS
might revise team build with your suggestions

Oh, and the Ele's need melee weapons, btw.

got that taken care off.

Can't think which 2 shadow step spells could put. Thinking death's charge and Spirit walk.

InStars · Jan 20, 2012, 11:41 AM // 11:41

2 human emo bonders
+ 5 starbursters
+ 1 shockwave

Emo bonders need to be pro if you want this to work

having shadow step spells with PBAoE spells is really effective. mobs seem to attack eles more than N/rt healer making it perfect cause than mobs die all at once, when got EoE down any mobs run they die from EoE dmg, which also nice. Tried to get a screenshot of it but hard cause mobs die under sec.
