Overview
This Realmbreaker build focuses on ZvZ PvP DPS. While the weapon remains rather expensive, its very enjoyable to play and rather straight forward even for newer players. With its straightforward yet satisfying playstyle, the 
Elder's Realmbreaker is a core part of the current ZvZ scene.
Equipment
Elder's Cryptcandle could be cheaper while providing roughly the same IP as an 8.0.
Usage
Elder's Realmbreaker
Rending Rage — Utilize this skill to apply stacks of bleeding with the initial two strikes, try to always put as many stacks of the bleeds as you can on nearby players during the brawling phase of an engagement. Use the third execution of the ability to root enemies before following up with 
Aftershock.
Adrenaline Boost — This ability will help you a lot with repositioning as it gives you a boost in damage and movement. Use it to position yourself so you land your Aftershock on multiple enemies. Another option is the 
Battle Rush as it allows you to quickly leap and provides good anti-heal while boosting friendly healing received. You should try both and see what you like best!
Aftershock — Your main use in the zerg as its your highest damage and easy to execute while providing help for your allies. You leap to a target location and break the ground directly in front of you. Enemies hit will not only be popped into the air but also have their maximum and current HP decreased. This will allow your team to follow up and secure kills.
Aggressive Rush — A nice damage buff as you will be auto-attacking a lot during long fights.
Elder's Hellion Jacket
Life Steal Aura — This is your main self-healing ability. It will heal you based on the amount of enemies hit by your AOE that follows you around wherever you move. Keep in mind that the Life Steal Aura can be purged so always try to stay out of abilities like 
Mythical Web.
Balanced Mind — A good increase for your damage, the other options aren't worth it.
Elder's Knight Helmet
Displacement Immunity — This is the ability you want to use in order to secure Aftershock hits and also help your fellow zerg members as it provides the same buff to a total of 10 allies around the location of where you casted it. As you are one of the front line fighters, using this becomes an obvious choice as it helps against items like the 
Elder's Knight Armor.
Toughness — This provides nice additional defense that helps a bit with your resistance.
Elder's Royal Sandals
Defenseless Rush — Make sure you know this skill not only increases your damage but also increases the damage you take. Try to use this coupled with Adrenaline Boost for a quick burst of speed that can take enemies by surprise as you reposition.
Aggression — Another passive giving you extra damage!
Elder's Avalonian Cape
Force Pulse — The perfect choice for this build as this cape creates and explosion after a short wind-up on any target you hit with your auto-attack. This is a fantastic follow-up for your Aftershock and the added damage is hard to deny.
Rotations
- You should always use Rending Rage pretty much on cooldown in order to help your team with brawling and to keep enemies off. The third cast can be used to root targets and then you can follow up with your rotation. However, setting it all up yourself isn't needed as you can follow up on tank engages instead.
Start with Defenseless Rush followed by Displacement Immunity (try to get as many friendly targets around you when you cast this) and Adrenaline Boost for the damage and movement speed increase before you finally use Aftershock. Make sure to follow-up with an auto-attack on whatever targets you put into the air so the 
Elder's Avalonian Cape can trigger the Aftershock for extra damage. Make your retreat quickly after that.
Consumables
Major Resistance Potion — Usually you want to have this popped before engagements but it's not always required if the enemy zerg cannot respond in time to your bomb. Instead, keep this for your retreat in case you are rooted or otherwise CC'd.
Deadwater Eel Stew — This combines the damage increase of 
Beef Stew and the cooldown rate of 
Pork Omelette into the perfect food to be used by this build. Another option would be a 8.2 Beef Stew for the sheer damage increase.
