Hrm. Okay, I wont revert, gale does have it's problems now. But now you HAVE to have the GoLE cuz you just traded out a 5 energy 100 point damage spell for a 15 energy, 100 point damage spell. Shireen sysop  09:10, 30 June 2007 (CEST)

The Skill Description states "non projectile attacks" yet Lighning Orb is used84.65.168.161 19:04, 29 July 2007 (CEST)

This build needs to be merged with the "Blinding Surge Warder" build. They are both extremely similar and the flex spots on both bars are the same; there's no need for two separate pages. Zuranthium 08:17, 16 August 2007 (CEST)

I replaced Gale with the new GWEN skill Slippery Ground, is that OK? It works better i guess, no need to put any points on water magic and still a powerfull knockdown that costs way less energy.

sorry i was wrong - this is the biggest noob build ever all you do is spam blind like a little b---h whoever uses this needs to die &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.33.61.143 (contribs).

Great for AB
Should this build really be listed as great for AB? Sure the format involves 4 vs 4 combat but I think a more important role, especially for the elementalist, is the capturing of shrines. This build can't quickly solo any shrine and would likely slowly capture them in a group unless someone else was equipped to do it well. Does a great rating apply to all the formats it is nominated for or is there a vote for each one? Dancing Gnome 18:03, 11 November 2007 (CET)

Regardless of what people say, you have to have more than just the standard capping build to win a AB. This build is a very good party support build because it can 2 assasins at any given moment. This build works better in AB than any other place because this build is only limited to melee and ranged attacks.....which isnt always promised in RA as it is in AB. So...Thus it gets the "Great" label.
 * I think that's very wrong. What does your group do against an all ele team? Or against the elite elementalist shrine? This build sucks compared to many other elementalist builds used in AB. This shouldn't be rated great for AB because it can't do everything an elementalist should do there and the slot it takes up should be used for something far better. How well does this build work in the Ancestral Lands or Luxon equivalent? It can't do even half as well as another similair build. This is a really bad choice for alliance battles. 58.106.236.144 08:01, 19 November 2007 (CET)

I agree that its not that great for AB, I dont understand who voted this build as "great" for AB, maybe just good at best (151.197.116.185)

 * It should be improved, but not archived. The "Warder" is a purely defensive build, BSurge itself is the only damage spell besides the other one, which could be added to THIS build as well. It was developed for a totally different environment, more like GvG. This build has some damage spells, even if they are not really killers, which makes it better suited for RA. --Longasc 12:10, 17 December 2007 (CET)

 * That build's all and good, but BF will only blind for 7-8 seconds, whereas BS generally blinds for double that. BSurge is for the utility, not the damage. And this build fulfills a different role from the Warder variant. One is optimized for RA, AB, and such where people are not organized enough to stay in wards or remove conditions, while the other's centered around GvG, where others can build around your skills, and need you utility a lot more to get kills.Jaigoda 20:38, 9 February 2008 (EST)
 * Though I do think it needs Lightning Bolt rather than LStrike, been running with it for a while and it's pwnage in a Gale -> Lightning Orb -> Lightning Bolt combo. People always run around after the KD, and LBolt's condition almost always hits. A very nice mini-spike in RA (you can also interupt stuff with Gale).Jaigoda 21:12, 9 February 2008 (EST)
 * We could just merge them. Anyways, this is generally better for AB and CM, and in some cases RA. --[[image:GoD Sig3.jpg|20px]] Guild of  Deals  11:23, 24 February 2008 (EST)

 * Paraway >>> fire nukers, but this is still excellent for general PvE. If you're not bringing ward melee, you should be, and the capability to spam blind on a bunch of melee foes is amazingly useful, defensive-wise. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that only damage is useful in PvE; utility owns damage so hard it's not even funny. -- Armond Warblade[[Image:Armond sig image.png]] 13:44, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Shell Shock, kthx.  ɟoʇuɐʌ ʎʞɔıɹ  03:28, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 100k kthx, but seriously, by removing Cracked Armor from Lightning Orb, there's no cover condition for Blind, which shouldn't matter because RC removes 2 conditions anyway. So now teams will be running Shell Shock over Lightning Orb, except in spikes, I think. Well that's what I'd run. Rusty 21:23, 19 April 2008 (EDT)


 * Uh, shell shock is bad. No one cares if they remove blind (RC removes all conditions, think you're talking about mending touch) because you just reapply it in another two seconds anyway.

this really is a nerf...when it was changed like a month ago, this build sucked. Seriously. You would basically have to spam B-Surge because blind would last a very short amount of time. I use to use it all the time. Evangel 22:14, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

 * Probably, you could easily run Blinding Flash and blind two separate targets that aren't adjacent (if they were enchanted and spiking the same target, Blinding Surge might have been okay). Plus, Lightning Orb no longer applies Cracked Armor. -Mike 08:16, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

RA Tag
Would this be better for RA? It has more damage and won't run out of energy unless the attunements are removed. You can simply spam some of the strongest skills in the game with lightning hammer costing only 5 energy. Thats almost 150 per hit with armor penetration, and if you bring elemental energy glyph your doing more. --Rach 17:40, 17 June 2008 (EDT)


 * Archive:E/any Dual Attunement Air Spiker is what you're looking for, although it was archived. -Mike 17:42, 17 June 2008 (EDT)


 * Enchantment removal is common, and those aren't some of the strongest skills in the game. -- Armond Warblade[[Image:Armond sig image.png]] 18:29, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
 * Enchantment removal will screw over most Elementalist builds, but Dual Attunements are even more susceptible to mass enchantment removal. I don't think Blinding Surge is even worth taking over Blinding Flash since the nerfs, but the strongest skills in the game include Backbreaker, Flail, Falling Lotus Strike, Twisting Fangs, Falling Spider Strike and Blades of Steel. =P -Mike 20:36, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

I don't see how Slippery Ground doesn't make the list of optional slots (mentioned somewhere above in discussion). 5 points of Water Magic at the cost of a point of Energy Storage and you've got a non-elite knockdown for 5 energy that doesn't cause exhaustion. If you're playing a shutdown properly, your opponent should be blinded every 7 seconds, and up to every 4 seconds if he gets his condition removed. With the ample blind being tossed around, Slippery Ground helps you kite your melee target easily. Also, should you run into a caster team in RA, you'll still have a knockdown combo (plus Gale) to keep a monk occupied. Epichammer 10:03, 19 December 2008 (EST)

Lorb does do a bigger spike, but who gives a fuck about that when you have pew pew's and endurance.

 * Unexist has a point. Not only does the Me/E provide more defense through the use of snares and blurred vision, it also has Fast Casting to defend himself against Powerblock mesmers which are still around. However, the free use of a second profession could provide superior utility, and therefore making this more desirable in splits than a Me/E. (Even then, you could still use a water ele primary.) Smurf Ohai 09:18, 29 December 2008 (EST)
 * There's no question that water me/es are better all-round defensive builds, but water has always been better than air for that. Bsurge is pretty much anti-spike with a big spike assist. There's nothing stopping you running a fcast bsurge if you're worried about pblock. [[Image:Cute McMonkey.png]] Christmas  Tab   Rally-kupo!  09:20, 29 December 2008 (EST)
 * It's the fact that Bsurge is pretty much out of place in this meta. I do not doubt it's effectiveness, just the fact it gets outshined by Me/E at this time of moment. And as Unexist said, there's always Mirror for Me/E's to do big spikes. As long as the mentioned factors in this meta don't get fixed/changed then I don't see a Bsurge ele being used any time soon. Smurf Ohai 09:25, 29 December 2008 (EST)
 * They're already getting used. Just because water is a better choice for general play doesn't mean that bsurge is useless in the meta. It's a nice thing to be able to fall back on when you know you're up against a spike or whatever. Either way, bsurge isnt useless to the point of being trash, which is what unexist voted.

 * True. This could be a good counter for in AT's when you know your opponent is playing a spike. However, this isn't really that greatworthy either. As proper Me/E's can shit on spikes just as well. Smurf Ohai 09:34, 29 December 2008 (EST)

To you noobz; blind sorta doesn't stop rawrspike. There's a thing called 'limitless energy on monks' which allows every spike to be drawn. In normal balanced builds it does counter, yes. But who cares? Glyph of immo + steam counters the hammer enough, and unless you're bad or the mesmer is owning you you'll prot against the axe. —ǘŋ Ɛxɩsƫ  12:02, 31 December 2008 (EST)

This bar
Is proll the worst meta bar in current meta. Really don't understand why ppl are such pussies with only defensive skills and only has shell shock as spike, the pot is terrible. Run lightning bolt or whatever, it don't even need to be e/rt.  Fishels [슴Mc슴] Mootles  13:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

...to reflect whats currently being played?--70.161.97.235 20:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
