Hi! i’m new with this class.. and i’m lost. I’ve always player with my necro and the traits seems to be very well balanced for the things I want.

Polarization is big in this issue with the Ele. I found build 0/10/0/30/30 that looks like a very tanky build, but lower dps.. and the 30/30/0/10/0 build that looks like a glass cannon.

What is the most “common” build for something in the middle? Any guide link/youtube guid will we welcomed…

thanks!

since you are new with the class, you should try 0/20/0/20/30. its as balanced as it gets. grab air training and bolt to the heart (or the fury if youre d/d) and in water, grab the conditon cleanse on water attune, and cantrip cooldown reduction. ether renewal is a good heal you should be using, it gets rid of lots of condis. take lightning flash always, and armor of earth/arcane wave/arcane shield/mist form depending on what you want. have fun with the ele

wich gear should i use? Reading a lot of build i saw that the most common for non-glasscannon is the valkyrie set.

For PvE…

If you like playing with conjures, 30/10/10/20/0 is a little glassy but gives you some survivability with the water regen (though all your traits are pretty much damage focused). Grab Fire III, VIII, XI; Air VI; Earth VI; and Water IV and VI. That trait distribution also works alright with the super boring fire staff build that some people like right now, but I would recommend either s/d (for burst before LH) or d/f (for a good long fire field) as your primary weapon set.

If you like daggers, try something like 0/30/10/20/10. Grab Air I, X, and Fresh Air (don’t remember which numeral it is), Earth VI, Water V and whatever else you feel is good, and Arcane V or VI.

For gear, go knight’s armor with berzerker’s trinkets while learning, transitioning to full zerk. Celestial armor with zerk trinkets is also an alright choice. The reason why you want these stat types is because you have traits that will activate when you get critical hits, making valkyrie (which does not have precision) a sub-optimal choice.
