So I was thinking about how PvP is (or was) dominated by certain elites, and what would happen if ALL the good elites were taken from the game, leaving a small amount of average/poor elites compared to the ones removed. Here's a list of Elite's I would remove just to completely turn PvP on it's head. I was wondering what people would run in team setups/individual setups without the best elites in the game.

See the list of available elites here.


 * Warrior

[Eviscerate][Whirling Axe][Backbreaker][Devastating Hammer][Earth Shaker][Magehunter's Smash][Crippling Slash]["You're All Alone!"]

Left a lot of sword elites open because mainly Cripslash dominates the sword area.


 * Ranger

[Burning Arrow][Crippling Shot][Melandru's Shot][Incendiary Arrows][Magebane Shot][Rampage As One]

Rangers are awesome without elite's so it would be interesting to see which one would take to the meta.


 * Monk

[Peace and Harmony][Healer's Boon][Healing Burst][Word of Healing][Ray of Judgment][Life Sheath][Restore Condition][Aura of Faith][Zealous Benediction]

Monks are always needed, so the elite choice would be interesting, tempted to ban Glimmer of Light too.


 * Necro

[Wail of Doom][Signet of Suffering][Tainted Flesh][Toxic Chill][Corrupt Enchantment][Lingering Curse][Pain of Disenchantment][Soul Bind][Spiteful Spirit]

Kill hexways with fire... perhaps, left IV open just for lolz.


 * Mesmer

[Psychic Instability (PvP)][Crippling Anguish (PvP)][Migraine (PvP)][Ineptitude][Energy Surge][Panic][Power Block][Tease]

Still some interesting elites available there.


 * Ele

[Elemental Attunement][Ether Prism][Blinding Surge][Gust][Invoke Lightning][Mind Shock (PvP)][Shockwave][Stone Sheath][Double Dragon][Mind Blast][Savannah Heat (PvP)][Searing Flames][Icy Shackles][Mirror of Ice][Shatterstone][Water Trident]

Never realised how many viable ele elites there was D:


 * Sin

[Seeping Wound][Way of the Assassin][Wastrel's Collapse]

Spam sins would still somewhat work, not that many great elites for sins.


 * Rit

[Soul Twisting][Spirit Channeling][Weapon of Remedy][Xinrae's Weapon][Spirit Light Weapon][Caretaker's Charge][Destructive Was Glaive (PvP)][Offering of Spirit]

... and then you realise communing elites suck bawls.


 * Para

[Defensive Anthem (PvP)][Cruel Spear]["It's Just a Flesh Wound."]

Left stunning strike in for lolz, IJaFW gets removed because it would obviously be amazing without a prot condition removal elite.


 * Dervish

[Avatar of Balthazar][Avatar of Dwayna (PvP)][Avatar of Grenth][Avatar of Lyssa][Pious Renewal][Onslaught (PvP)]

... Sorry dervs, I killed you :{
