How it Works
The Geotank takes and holds aggro, using standard UW geotank procedures. Once aggro is firmly established, the three Barragers move in and start spamming away, aided by the buffs of the Ritualist, the Necromancer, and the Paragon. Most of these things are self-explanatory, but here's a few notes on specific skills certain individuals might find odd.

Blazing Finale
Blazing Finale is placed on the geotank to aid in killing the enemies by adding Burning to them.

"Brace Yourself!"
"Brace Yourself!" is used against Charged Blacknesses, who use Shock and can therefore interrupt the geotank.

Crippling Anthem
Crippling Anthem is used to ensure that the monsters will not try to run away from the geotank, and if they do, they will be slow and ineffective, allowing the party more time to run.

Order of Apostasy
OoA is used against Smite Crawlers to ensure that the Barragers don't kill themselves with Shield of Judgment.

Well of Silence
Well of Silence is used against Grasping Darknesses, so that they cannot use "Fear Me!" and drain the geotank of his energy.

Frenzy
Since the Barragers should not be taking combat damage, Frenzy is used as a convenient IAS.

Natural Stride
This is used as a cancel stance for Frenzy, and to run away if aggro is broken.

Favorable Winds
One Barrager will bring Winnowing instead of Favorable Winds.

Weapon of Quickening
This is usually maintained on the ritualist himself, but may also be maintained on the geotank if he needs energy (Thus allowing him to renew Obsidian Flesh without using Serpent's Quickness, so he is more free to use Storm Chaser).

Gaze of Fury
This is used to immediately kill the Nature's Renewal spirits that the Obsidian Burrowers lay.

Variants

 * Anyone whose secondary is not defined may drop a non-essential skill for Essence Bond, to maintain upon the geotank.
 * The monk is not rigidly defined. Anyone who can toss the occasional heal at the geotank and keep the Orders necro in good health will do.
 * Another skill, such as Anthem of Guidance, may replace Crippling Anthem.
 * If desired, the Ritualist may be replaced with a fourth Barrager, but someone should bring Unnatural Signet or something similar to kill the Spirits of Nature's Renewal.
 * If the geotank is inexperienced at managing energy, someone may bring and maintain Balthazar's Spirit upon him.
