hey, I ran into this monk with his own little army of elite kurzick elementalists even though the shrine belonged to us.
Any idea on what is he doing to prevent the NPCs from dying? I don't think this is supposed to happen.

i think you can talk to the elites and they will follow you as long as noone else has talked to them

Yes I know that, but when his shrine is captured by the other team, the npc instantly dies. What I'm asking is how to prevent this.

are you sure you had the ele shrine capped?

The ele dies but leaves a corpse so he uses the res orb. I did this to get 6 wars on the war shrine the other day on keys. He would just go to the ele shrine grab the ele and go to the res orb shrine. Rinse and Repeat. But the shrine needs to get capped so you can res the ele.

This also works for all the npcs.

I see, thanks.

It's an ancient Luxon secret, and it one of the ways we beat the kurziks so easily on two of the maps. By the way, 6 warriors is probably an exageration. The most I've been able to obtain is 3 from one shrine and two from the other. The matches aren't long enough to get 6 from the same shrine... due to the time it takes for the other team to cap the shrine and you to get another rez orb, etc. and come re-cap the target shrine.

Theo I meant the regular warriors with the elite. 2 elites and 4 regulars....

Don't worry about it, it's hard to do and almost never happens. Even if it does happen, it's not a big deal.

You call that an army?

Ele Npc Collecting (Old picture: was kurzick back then)
(Probably people arround who gathered much more then 4 ele's)

The timing on the "elite npc collecting" is tricky. When enemies the ele shrine you already need to have a res orb, to use after they capped.

Strenght of this tactic is not only the damage potential, but also their capping potential. (each elite is +1 capping strenght)

Don't those guys spam Lightning Hammer and Lightning Orb? 4 people doing that... Hot damn. Good spiking potential there.
