Game Plan
Strike kills with frequent spikes in an 8v8 situation, attempting to kill their backup flag to get the flag advantage and push them back in an 8v7 situation. 8v8
Perform frequent spikes on their midline.
When playing against dual domination magic mesmer setups, keep running flags on your air elementalist and split on your fire elementalist.
Flag
Hold the flag. On your runner if possible, on your invoke elementalist if necessary. Don't cap unless it's the opponent is about to boost.
You want to keep all your damage in main team to keep spiking them.
If possible, kill their backup flag, return it and capture the flag. This will allow you to play 8v7 for a while.
When you can't run flags on your monk, do it on the invoke elementalist. If they have a pushing ranger, prefer the mind burn elementalist which can defend itself.
Split
Defend with the runner or fire elementalist.
If necessary you can split your own fire elementalist.
Lategame
Attempt a lord rush.
If that doesn't work, defend with mind burn, runner and hammer warrior.
Playing against this team
8v8 Situations
Lineback the elementalists.
Power LeakPropheciesMesmer. Domination Magic Power LeakSpellIf target foe is casting a Spell or Chant, that Skill is interrupted and target foe loses 3..14..18 Energy.10¼20 and disenchant the fire elementalist.
Interrupt the air elementalist in general.
Flag
Dual run until you have a backup flag while the opponent is holding the flag.
Aggressively push on their flags.
Split
The team doesn't have good means of defending against coordinated splits and doesn't have very good options outside of an 8v8. If your team can split effectively, go for it while simultaneously pushing on their flag.
Lategame
The fire elementalist can spread respectable damage on players. If possible, counter him with interrupts or enchantment removal.
Dual elementalist spike is usually played without a dervish. Try to keep your knights alive so their pressure overwhelms dual ele's assault team.
