It was used in the first place because any moron could use it to wipe a shrine (target shrine NPC, push 1-8 in order, move to next shrine) - and if you watch the number of players who suicide on shrines, that's not a worthless role.

It's still used plenty. However you don't see a lot of support for it amongst more seasoned players because pretty much any Fire Ele bar can wipe out a shrine without trouble. In the bad player meta it's still going strong though, since it's one of the easiest builds to run, single minded, and functional.

What do you want your role to be when you AB?

If it is purely to cap shrines then set up your bar to do that. This, to me, is not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone yells at each other to "cap cap!!1" so you would fill that role nicely. Many times I find myself the only person actively doing the capping! So I set up my bar to cap, run to next shrine, cap, run to next shrine, rinse and repeat. My job is to cap and try to avoid the other team mobs.

If it is to take on the opposing team then you should do that. That includes doing damage AND keeping yourself alive.

The best advice anyone can really give is to try your bars out and then make adjustments. I run a ele/sin build that is mostly AoE fire spells for taking out shrines. But I also added dash to get away from enemies, Feigned Neutrality for some self heal, and my fav..Hidden Caltrops to cripple the opposing players in my AoE's. Works quite well and its fun!

If you want to be able to solo car build for that. bring 3 heats and some earth enchantments. as long as you can bunch up the NPCs and not die, triple heats wipe nearly anything.
