Hello all. Its been a while for me. I have been testing this build off and on since Factions released(Star Burst makes this very useable). I use E/W with this but i have used E/A to similar effect. I prefer the E/W cause of the extra damage and knockdown but either is fine. With this build, you can't wait for someone to target you first. I have so much fun with this build and it catches people off guard and i get some serious respect for it.

E/W Suicidele

Earth 2
Fire 16
Energy 11 (E/A this will be 12)
Sword 8 (E/A replace with Shadow Arts 6)

Glyph of Sacrifice
Meteor Shower
Bed of Coals
Grasping Earth (E/A replace with Caltrops)
"None Shall Pass" (E/A replace with Burning Speed or a shadow step skill)
Flame Burst
STAR BURST
Rez

My weapons: Fiery Oni Blade of Defense(req 8) and The Kinderlock.

The glyph is used to cast Meteor Shower; it will cast instantly but they will think it is interrupted and just stand there. Cast Bed of Coals next followed by Grasping Earth (Frozen burst cost 15 energy compared to this 5). If they move during this time then Shout "None Shall Pass!" (since it is a shout you can use it while casting spells at the same time). Use Star Burst then Flame Burst and repeat those 2 if needed.

No one and i mean no one will survive if they are caught in this combo (exept for 1 spell but the monk would have to have the elite and know this build to be ready for it). I have owned teams by myself and laughed at the outcome (that 4 man touch ranger team in TA was funny...they thought they were targeting a noob ele). Dont waste on one person if u can help it...wait for a mob to get close. I use a melee weapon to get close and go after the opposing team first to draw attention.

The trick is to get them to target you so you rush at them (hence the suicide ele) while everyone hangs back(you have to know when to to do this). The opposing team will give u the noob ele thinks he is a warrior speech but you will own them in seconds; once they see an ele with a sword, they can't wait to "teach you a lesson." Once you start the combo your teammates can join the fray but just be ready for the one long range guy that may not be part of the body count cause he will want to rez so hopefully your teammates wont let him. Don't use on monks right away cause they move too much...you have to wait for the right time (practice will let u know when to use it). You will be low on energy after the combo but thankfully Star Burst is low cost/high damage and you have a sword that deals listed damage.

Enjoy.

I think this build is really great for damage output. Especially for pvp. Couple of times i understimate elementalists and shadow step next to them, the next second i'm incinerated, and knocked down, and burnt to hell.

Excellent meelee killer, don't be trying it on Rangers with their biatch armour though. Snares and slows cripple this build, but not shut down it completely. Energy denial can also shut it down, but otherwise, great build - damage wise. Oh, and you can try using a Zealous sword if you have energy problems. Though you probably wouldn't be twacking your opponents with a sword anyways.
