Here you go guys. This has been my most successful scepter build yet for pvp.

A couple things about the build.

I take One with Air because it is used for kiting. It is strong when you are getting focused and helps in 1v1 situations.

I take Arcane Precision because I spend most of my time in air so it has good weakness uptime.

Ether Renewal is there for conditions. Its safer to use with this kind of build because you are not in melee range and you can kite with One with Air and Blinding Flash (plus other ways) to use it relatively safely

The combined utility of One with Air, Elemental Surge, Arcane Shield, and Obsidian Flesh makes it so you can take both of the arcanes and still survive engagements.

Arcane Blast is a must have for this build because it increases your damage pressure and makes sure you have Arcane ferocity up most of the time (from elemental surge).

Please try it out and provide any input for the build.

Yea I really like this build. Extremely high skill ceiling, its up there with shatter mesmer.
If we had a Arcane elite this build would be even more fantastic. I might try this build with Arcane brilliance and hope Earth #4 will clear most condis.

One with Air is a freaking life saver. Best pick out of the 3 by far.

It´s arcane like i build before Hot. I used arcane brilliance and cleansing flame and a lifedrain rune. I normaly go hybrid and trait earth over water but my water version would look like this:

Of course i assume the runes and sigils work correct.
It´s also devasting close up.
Scavanging over vampire looks strange but it adds more condi punch while rotation fire and earth. And i realy love the brilliance + scavenging rune :-).
Tempest did knock arcane out for me but lately i played a bit with arcane + tempest. Felt good but as much i like shield and brilliance they loose against classic soldiers + shouts … Wash the pain away is so strong in teamfights ….

Yeah, I wanted to create a build that didn’t use tempest. And in all honesty, air overload with fresh air is over rated. I tried a build with vampirism and the sigils. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it lacked that punch that I was looking for damage-wise.

As far as damage builds go, however, this feels like the strongest one in pvp I have played. It might not be quite at meta status right now since it loses vs too many classes 1v1, but it fills the role of a roamer very well with super speed and almost 100% swiftness uptime.

It feels on par with other dps classes for me, usually winning 50% of those fights 1v1, but is lacking vs bunker classes and all warrior builds. It might be very strong vs mesmer with the removal of merc amulet since its hard for them to time instant cast damage with their invulnerablity.

Extremely high skill ceiling…

Thanks for the laugh.
