After the update that added a new variety of elemental skills to use, I've had a bit of a play around with some of the new elites.
These builds are not sensational, by all means. The main thing to take away from this video is that you can do some wacky stuff and make some odd looking builds work quite well.
Also, don't take these as super seriously amazing, because they all have room for improvement, plenty of the skills are optional and can be swapped for quite a lot of variety.

The most important thing is to play with the builds yourself and to get a real feel for how they work. Make your own builds, borrow my ideas, go nuts
