Modified water ele gvg build, Now with more lightning

A modified water elementalist build with a bit more spike capability. It is entirely experimental again, so it needs testing and likely further modification or off to the scrap heap if it doesn't work.

Icy Shackles water ele flagger

Grasping Earth monks with WoH and SoD

I tried to compartmentalize better what each ele has to do to make it easier. The water eles need to concentrate on keeping water hexes up and keeping the other team moving slowly, especially melee toons (along with the monks using grasping earth.) The lightning spikers use Rust when available (if necessary) on a 60 AL target and then Ride the Lightning in followed by Lightning Touch (extra damage while foe is under the effects of a water hex.) Follow up with Arc and Lit. Touch as needed. RtL causes exhaustion, so the spikes need to be well coordinated and used long enough to pile up some DP (hopefully) and make them retreat. The hard rezzer on the opposing team has to be found and killed early and often. Exhaustion will wear us out before we can make them retreat if we don't kill the hard rezzer and keep him down.

One RtL spiker can unload 278 damage on a 60 AL target in a couple of seconds and 417 damage on a 60 AL target in about 4 seconds. That's very slow, which is why there are two of them. That's 556 damage on a 60 AL target in a couple of seconds, but 836 damage in about 4 seconds. It will take some coordination and countdown spiking from the RtL eles, and ideally someone else keeping track of and calling water hex targets for our defense. Monks need to be proactive with Grasping Earth.

It could be fun. It is all theory though, so it also may not work. No mesmer, no interrupts, no enchantment removal. Just slow hexes and lightning spiking.
