User:Nog64/Team: DAAS

The DAAS (Or Dual Attunement Air Spike) is a team designed for 8-man HA. The team involves several Air Elementalists casting high damage skills at the same time to quickly kill opponents. Due to the quick nature of air spells and the amount of energy gained back by the attunements, the elementalists can sustain themselves and pump out high amounts of damage throughout the battle.

The Team

 * 3 [[Image:Elementalist-icon-small.png]]/Any Regular spike eles
 * 1[[Image:Elementalist-icon-small.png]]/Any Runner ele
 * 1[[Image:Elementalist-icon-small.png]]/[[Image:Necromancer-icon-small.png]] GoC ele
 * 1[[Image:Elementalist-icon-small.png]]/[[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]] Aegis ele
 * 1[[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]]/[[Image:Mesmer-icon-small.png]] LoD Infuser
 * 1[[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]]/[[Image:Mesmer-icon-small.png]] ZB Monk

Usage
Just before the battle begins, have everyone cast their attunements. Have someone be a caller and have that person pick out a suitable target to spike. Have the Aegis ele and the monk start an Aegis chain. It should go Ele>Heal Monk>Prot Monk. Have the GoC ele remove the enchantments of the spike target. Have everyone cast Lightning Orb or Hammer, then Lightning Bolt. Use the other heavy damage skill if target is still alive after the spike. The quick recharge times allow for you repeat the spike as often as necessary. Have monks heal people. Resurrect fallen allies as quickly as possible. Spam Blinding Flash on BoA sins and Thumpers to render them useless.

Counters

 * Enchantment removal will ruin the spike the most. Do not cast too much while enchantless, as it will cause drainage of your energy. HSR mods are recommended to keep this problem to a minimum.
 * That being said, Mirror of Disenchantment, while a rare skill, is one to pay attention to, as it will ruin the party's chances of keeping their energy up.
 * General spellcasting counters.
 * General spike counters.

Variants

 * Gale may be brought to stop runners. It is highly recommended that a party member bring this.
 * You may put as many Aegis, GoC, and Runner eles as needed.
 * Some eles may swap out Chain Lightning instead of Blinding Flash.
 * An ele can bring Song of Concentration.
