Ele is my second character I’m leveling and I’m loving the Scepter/Dagger combination for the 4 blast finishers (5 if you have Arcane Wave). I was wondering if there was a way I could make a decent-damaging build while being able to maintain many stacks of Might/Protection/ect for long periods of time. Right now I can get 15 stacks of Might if I close my eyes, click my heels, and try harder than I do in my irl job.. but I’m hoping I can squeeze more stacks out of this. (Only hit level 10 now, but I’m hoping to do this for PvP and WvW, as well as PVE)
Any advice would be appreciated.
Absolutely.
It’s just a matter of using boon duration runes. 2 piece superior water (15% boon duration increase) , 2 piece superior monk (120 tokens each from AC exp, 15% boon duration increase), and you can go all out with 2 piece major water as well if you like (10% boon duration increase, stacks with superior water). Of course any points you have in the arcane trait line add to boon duration as well.
It’s a pretty common thing for elementalists to use these runes. Not only will you get lots of might stacking, you’ll have longer duration protection, regen, and swiftness from your attunement switches thanks to elemental attunement trait (10 point in arcane, basically a required trait for all elementalists)

Ah cool!
How many/much stacks of what kinds of boons can I get out of Scepter/Focus (& whichever Utility Powers you’d suggest). All I know of is might for now.
I know this is a REALLY specific question, but please bare with me.

from scepter/focus u will only get might and vigor (vigor from phoenix)… with just 10 point into arcane line u can get a trait the gives u a boon whenerver u switch into an element, fire=might, water=regen, air=swiftness, earth=protection, as well as fury on every element switch (5 point minor trait of arcana), also u could look at gliph of elemental armony as your healing skill (it give u the same boon as above based on your current attunement)
about the stack (only might stack in intensity all the other boon stack in duration) u can with easy get 6 or more stack of might just by blasting inside your flame wall (3 stack of might to ally in the area for every blast within the field)… and with the above mentioned rune u can with easy stack perma swiftness and have a good uptime of protection (based on the frequency u switch element)… more point in the arcana trait line will help a lot into stacking boon due to the increased boon duration as well as the reduced attunement cd that will allow u to switch with higher frequency…

Another option is to get 2x Major Runes of Sanctuary (from Honnor of the Waves dungeon for 30+30=60 tokens) instead of the 2x Major Runes of the Water as they both give +10% Boon Duration
