POSTED AND TRASHED

Darn, this build is only good in PvE now. Ok, this build isn't good at all anymore. It was ok in RA until the PvE/PvP skill split. Now there are much better things to run in PvE and PvP. Just keeping it here because it was my first out of two builds to post (and subsequently get trashed).

This build uses the new ability of Lightning Orb to inflict cracked armor to use chest thumper for a deep wound. This uses 5 skills each with 5 second recharges for a repeatable spike to kill.

Attributes and Skills
[build prof=Elementalist/Paragon Air=12+1+1 Energy=11+1 Spear=6][Lightning Orb][Chest Thumper][Lightning Hammer][Lightning Strike][Blinding Flash][Elemental Attunement][Air Attunement][Resurrection Signet][/build]


 * If in RA replace Lightning Strike with Glyph of Restoration.
 * If in AB replace Resurrection Signet with Glyph of Restoration.

Equipment

 * Max armor with a Sup Vigor rune, radiant on head, feet, and gloves, survivor on chest and legs. A minor air and energy storage rune, a rune of clarity, and a Vitae rune are also needed.
 * Any Air magic offhand, preferably with 20% half cast and +30 health. 20% recharge is not needed. The Bison Cup is a good choice. A +30 health +5 energy spear with req 9 for your weapon. You can have enchanting for the health mod on the spear, but it is also not needed.

Usage

 * Use Elemental Attunement and Air Attunement on recharge. Note:Make sure to use Elemental Attunement first!
 * Your spike chain is Lightning Orb -> Chest Thumper -> Lightning Hammer -> Lightning Strike. This chain will be recharged by the time you finish the last spell, so you can repeat immediately.
 * Use Blinding Flash to blind enemy melee, rangers, or paragons. This can also help against ranger interrupters.
 * If you are using Glyph of Restoration, use it before your chain for a 286 point heal. If you don't have the 25 energy for Lightning Hammer, you can also use Blinding Flash for food for this.

Counters

 * Daze
 * Anti caster hexes
 * Interrupts
 * Blind, though this usually isn't a problem because most people won't blind casters.
