GvG/HoH build. Frost Shutdown. Elementalist / Mesmer
INTRO
Most elementalists dont use water magic or just despise it's use. Although it is great in any source of PvP!(mostly hoh or gvg). This build is VERY annoying to enemies because they have no use for their legs! This build's core is based on totally slowing down the enemy in different stages and letting the rest of you group obliterate the struggling enemies. Not much energy is involved but enough to be careful with. So i added 1 other skill to help you with your energy. I'll give you the list of skills required in this build.

ATTRIBUTES(200)
Fire Magic= 16 (max it out to 12 then add a superior energy storage rune)
Energy Storage=16 (max it out to 12 then add a superior energy storage rune).


WEAPONS.
I'll give you a list of weapon combinations that fit you and this build so You can choose.
You can use a max water staff....Flint's Staff i'm reffering to.
If you want a wand and focus then i would go with Flint's Wand and Milius's Eye which actually requires energy storage which we have plenty of^^.
You dont HAVE to use green items you can use any max water wand or any max focus item or any max water staff.Greens are just really efficent.

SKILLS
Deep Freeze (nice AoE skill that slows down all enemies in area)
Ice prison (Great skill for slowing down enemies for good amount of time)
Ice Spikeds (does damage and slows down enemy nicely)
Mind Freeze (Elite)(does damage and slows down enemies).
Shard Storm (quick skill to slow down enemies)
Water Attunement (For energy management)
Frozen Burst (If enemy gets around you(rare occasion) use this to slow him down then run away and let allies kill you.
Arcane Echo (echo Deep Freeze)
Now I will explain This Srategy for the WHOLE 8 players for GvG or HoH.
You Will need------>4 of these water elementalists that slow enemies down.
You Will need------> 2 Air spikers , and 2 tanks.

Here is how this works. You Will have you 4 elementalists get barely out of ranger of the enemie. Have your Allies stay about 20 steps behind you and quickly have your water elementalists cast water attunement, IMMEDIATLY ALL WATER ELE'Scast echo on deep freeze, Then cast deep freeze TWICE FOR EACH OF YOUR WATER ELE'S on your own seperate target and whole enemy party should be frozen, have you air spikers spike their hearts out and warriors attack. Quickly have the Water Elementalists cast Ice prison then ice spikes, mind freeze on weaker targets then shard storm. You should probably cast most of your spells on the warrior because he/she is most easily shutdown by this build. Have your 4 attackers(2 air spikers and 2 AXE warriors go on 1 target!!!) one by one water ele's need to keep repeating this skills cycle and this should be one of the best gvg/hoh builds you will ever use:) I Hope this build helped those who are looking for success and those who are struggling in pvp.

I suposse you mean watermagic 16.

Think you also mean a superior water rune..

  Rogue on 02/13/06 12:53

and one of those skills would have to be at only 15 even with a sup rune - 16 is attained by using a helm along with that, and you can only get one helm on at a time

  Ayera Linyseld on 02/13/06 12:56
 
Fire Magic 16 hmmm.. Guess works well in Hoh but not in GvG because no monks. Water eles run out of energy very soon so it would be good to have some energy management but nice idea gonna try it out.

  Loragon on 02/13/06 12:58

Good guide. Just proof read before posting.

Thanks,

I'm guessing that when you say 16 fire magic the you mean 16 water magic and I didn't think that it was possible to get 16 magic any element and 16 energy storage. And where is the shut down part of this build? I can see this build being useful against an iway team.

Cheers
Josh

Amen, down with IWAY.

peace out

  BrianFellow on 02/13/06 13:10

maybe he meant 16 fire to confuse people with the weak water skills! Alot of people didn't use water because of the various bugs that Anet finally fixed, but alot of people aren't using water Ele b/c they aren't used to them

Uhm ... I might be wrong, but as far as I can see, U don't have mantra of resolve, and if U build a team based on ele-skills, which R pretty slow with respect to casting-time, U do have a prob, if U encounter a ranger-spike or a team with 2-3 mesmers, which isn't that uncommon in HoH. But that is just a thought, maybe U have encountered it, and survived, if so please tell abt it, cause it sounds as an interesting idea.
