V. Basic Gameplay
The main Job of this Elementalist build is cc. The most important part of this is to interupt the enemy initiation by dropping a Static Field at the right time in the right place using mainly Lightning Flash, potentialy Armor of Earth if you feel you need to have the Stability to get in and Mist Form if you encounter heavy cc or damage to get out of you position and back to your Backline.
Once the fight has started you want to keep on pressuring the enemy with cc using Static Field, Unsteady Ground, Shockwave and Frozen Ground. If you see that your Zerg is going low on health call out Waterfields so you allies can blast them or layer down aditional water fields if your commander calls for them in regroups. Always communicate with other elementalists in your group or zerg to define who sets his waterfields the first water fields and so on. This avoids the waiste of water fields by stacking them over each other since only one of them will be blasted.
