Rainbow Spike

Please explain what exactly a rainbow spike is...
From what I read on the internet its a group of people spiking with a bunch of various skills at once.
What sort of skills?
Examples?
Other info I need?

Skills such as rangers with punishing shot / savage shot, mesmer with phantom pain/shatter illusions, necros with vamp gaze, eles with lightning orb / strike.

Rainbow is harder to protect against, but takes a great deal of teamwork to make sure all the differently timed attacks hit at the same time.

It is also called mixed spike which consists of 2 or 3 mix spikes.

Example:
Ranger Spiker
Ranger Spiker
Ranger Spiker
Blood Spiker Necromancer
Orders Necromancer
Insert monks and flag runner here

This is a Standard Ranger Spike

OK good to hear. Thats basically what I thought but I wasn't really sure.
Also, Dargon: my answer is Vent.

Vent only helps so much, there's still game lag to take into account which is magnified as a problem when you've got 4 different attacks that have different timing that need to hit at the same time in order to have their highest chance of successfully killing the target before a monk can heal it.

most rainbow spike teams have 2 sec skills

E.G

Lightning Orb
Obsidian Flame
Shadow Strike
Phantom Pain + Shatter (Just over 2 secs)

Then you have the 1 second skills

Vamp Gaze
Dual Shot
Lightning Strike

On a rainbow Spike team the caller would call a target, countdown 321 spike, people with 2 second skills cast on 1 and every1 else cast on spike. Then you follow up with whatever else you have to make sure the character dies e.g Shater Enchant, lightning strike, vamp gaze

earth ele for wards right?
