I recently got my ele to 80, and have some questions about gear/build/general usage for dungeons. I mostly PUG dungeons, and I’ve been thinking about a 30/10/10/20 LH build. After looking at builds over on the ele forum, I switched to S/F for might stacking, but I’m having trouble stacking as much might as with S/D, and I miss the movement skills on air for dagger. The invulnerability on earth is nice, though. I’ve also been wondering what to use for my third utility— I’d like to have a stunbreak for a lot of situations, but the only stunbreaks we have I’ve seen have ridiculously high cooldowns.

So:
1. S/D or S/F? Any help with might stacking rotation would be appreciated.
2. Final utility?
3. Any general ele tips or dungeon instance specific tips would be nice.

I’m sure I forgot something, I’ll edit if I remember.

I run a 25/25/10/10 LH build. S/F for the added defense

As for might stacking it’s pretty much the same as S/D but a smaller area and you need to be more precise.

You’d typically go 2>4>3>earth4(i cast 5 and 2 while waiting to be able to switch to water)>water>5>arcane brilliance if youre able (dont use it if you dont feel safe wasting your heal)>LHarcane wave

Then start auto-attacking. I believe the video I watched said 5 chains in Water Magic, then 3 chains in Fire and drop the Hammer and repeat.

Utilities I recommend Arcane Wave, LH, Signet of Fire. Don’t need a stunbreak really (sometimes you do) in PvE. You can change skills to fit the situation

I don’t want to run staff though— I’m rarely in groups that have decent might/fury uptime already. I’m having trouble getting fire 2 to line up right without a target for might though, in S/F.

Alright, so I have this so far. Do you think superior runes of strength would be worth taking over scholar after the balance patch?

Can’t comment on that until we see the changes I’m afraid.
