i was thinking... people do air spikes, earth spikes... why not fire spikes? like hey why not. so heres what i came up with:
E/X x 4
each one would definetly take:
fireball
flameburst
meteor shower
fire attunement
elemental attunement
resig
the you would have to branch out on the last 2.. so 2 would take gale and putrid, one with windborne and gale, and one with ward against melee and foes.
the last one would be E/Me, and use
fireball
flameburst
meteor shower
mind burn
fire attunement
resig
drain enchantment
arcane mimicry
then possibly force the monks to use drain enchantment, have a life bonder and you have the 8 man team.
The Plan
life bonder life bonds everyone, arcane mimcry guy steals ele attunement, they all line up and do a fireball spike. 119 damage each, x5, should kill a target. theres no armor penetration so its not so hot against rangers and the like, but hey its not so bad either. the idea is 5 guys use fireball then the mindburn guy does mindburn right after.. sort of like the orb/strike combo. this should kill the target, etc etc. it has the same weaknesses any heavy caster build has, but its a bit different since you can put 5 meteor showers on the altar and then do a flameburst spike on it <3
What Actually Happened
this is what happened when i tried it. to start with, our 'bonder' had no clue. he did nothing before the timer started and then bonded one (1) guy. i guess he was trying to bond himself. aaanyway, we all run in and it was possibly the worst timed spike ever. i thought it was because it was the first run. anyawy.... run #2. again, after yelling at the life bonder he STILL doesnt do anything, the spike is now ish timed (i.e. like 2 people do it with me, the rest are jacking off or something). we lose etc. i kick the gay bonder, get a real one. we go in. now it turns out one guy is deliberately sabotaging the spike. no joke. obviously we get hardcore owned and i rage quit. so... it might work with a decent team, mine was anything but.
gl hf, dont blame me when you die
