I heard of this, but was told it was really hard It's basically a lot of fire eles (the more the better) using the elite Searing Flames: Target foe and all nearby foes are struck with Searing Flames. Foes already on fire when this skill is cast are struck for 10...82 fire damage. Foes not already on fire begin Burning for 1...4 seconds.

and then they often have glowing gaze, Glyph sac+ Meteor Shower, Liquid Flame and the rest is optional. This build is really effective with a lot of eles because the range is 'nearby' (which is huge) and if 1 ele burns them, the other eles can damage them (because damage is preferred over burning).

That's true, the secret lair is the bestest way to earn Dwarven ranks.

But I'll give you my team build which took me through the whole game, works everywhere and got me rank 3 norn asura ebon vang and dwarven, which also will allow me to max them.

I - MM Nec with mark of pain and barbs, (if the area has enemies with undeads I go SS)
Vekk - Earth AOE with Unsteady Ground, Eruption, Churning earth, one ward of your choice depending on the dungeons dmg output, and power drain for minor ene and interruption.
Gwen - Fast cast fire ele with double attunement meteor shower teinai's and searing heat rodgort's and fireball ( I dun have nightfall so u might as well put a SF ele instead I dunno)
Xandra - Union, Shelter, Life, Attuned was songkai (E) , Splinter Weapon (very important) , flesh of my flesh, destruction and displacement. If you're going against destroyers make sure Xandra has winter.

The direct dmg comes from the two elementalists of course but there's the factor of massive indirect dmg dealt by mark of pain and splinter weapon, them combined with the conditional area dmg of earth and direct dmg of fire almost everything falls. For defence you have mhenlo the lod monk and Xandra's union shelter along with displacement , not to mention the ward u take for Vekk. Other than these I get zho the interrupt hench, talon the guardian and lina the prot. Works like a charm for me.

Hope this helps

For Norn points.... just go to Olafstead... head outside and rampage through Varajar Fells a few times. Easiest Norn-farm in the game.

Well there ya go.

Since I have a habit of clearing (mapping) out every area I come across in Eye of the North, it isn't really surprising that I have a few ranks in every title I've come across so far.....
.... except Ebon Vanguard, simply because I haven't been to the Charr Lands yet.
