As many people know bunker builds are good at holding points in PvP, even on the elementalist. They can do a decent job “tanking” in dungeons too.

Highlight from twitch, I couldn’t get sound to work with highlights, sorry.

Just curious, what is your reasoning for taking 20 earth over the 30 arcane for Evasive Arcana? And even with that 20 eath, why the Cd talent instead of Geomancer’s freedom?

Not sure on his reasoning but I rarely, if ever, actually hit anyone with EA so I’d much rather have shorter CD’s, Obsidian Flesh and Magnetic Wave are much better than a little extra damage on a dodge.

Well I can’t get the link to work even if I copy pasta it, anyone type what points are where? I’m assuming 20 earth X water and X arcane or something along those lines c

Should change out Glyph of Storms for Lightnign Flash then change Aquamancer’s Alcrity to Soothing Distruption

@Ryld.1340
Evasive Arcana can be decent when you have a lot of combo fields. I don’t have any but a fire field. As for Geomancer’s Freedom… it’s not a very good. Reduced condition based CC duration isn’t that useful.

Lightning Flash isn’t as useful as having a an AoE that is constantly blinding people in a bunker build.

Soothing Disruption is good, but I wouldn’t take it over Aquamancer’s Alcrity. I might take it over Cleansing Wave, but I prefer the frequency of cleansing Wave triggering. Overall I have enough condition removal anyways, Phoenix (all? every 20 seconds), Magnetic Wave (3 conditions every 20 seconds), and Water Attunement (2 conditions every 10 seconds)
