spiking - in GW it means to do alot of damage in a very short time. air elementalists are quite good at it

The downside if this is that any balanced game (which GW is) will severely limit how frequently a character can apply spikes.

A spike group can be pretty deadly, hit a 6 elementalist, two monk group in GvG and they nearly wiped us out... But thankfully we had a very good mesmer.
