Usage[]
Before the match begins, start to accumulate some overcast by cancelcasting Second WindFactionsElementalist. UnlinkedSecond WindElite SpellYou gain 1 Energy and 5 Health for each point of energy restricted by Overcast. You lose all enchantments.5515.
Ideally you stay at roughly 40% overcast in your first high energy set for a balance of health/energy gain and second wind usage frequency.
Protect and heal gate relevant NPCs. Always cover important protection enchantments with Vigorous SpiritPropheciesMonk. Healing Prayers 11Vigorous SpiritEnchantment SpellFor 30 seconds, each time target ally attacks or casts a Spell, that ally is healed for 16 Health.5¼4 because of enchantment removal, i.e. from turtle siege attacks.
Stay behind the gate and as far away from opponents as possible.
This reduces the probability that they attack you instead of the protected NPCs.
It allows you to run into safety for a couple of seconds after protecting NPCs.
Glyph of RestorationNightfallElementalist. Energy Storage 10Glyph of RestorationGlyphFor 15 seconds, your next 2 Spells heal you for 80 Health, and you are healed for 317% of the Energy cost of each Spell.518 serves as a self heal when you don't yet need the energy from second wind.
