Hi fellas
well im almost lvl 80 and im about to buy my exotic gear.
i already got chest armor.

anyway, I want to build my ele as high damage – which means that I need to use Superior Rune of Elementalist.

but that means that I’ll remain squishy.
what do you guys think about full set made of runes of the elementalist, which means HIGH damage + condition damage, unlike the low vitality / toughnes / hp regen etc.

should I mix my gear? make some as damage and some as survivability? or should i stick to one kind of build ?

Use Divinity, this coming from a guy that has everything setup in a spreadsheet.

You just cant beat 240 stat points +12% crit damage.

21 prec = 1% crit chance.

1% crit chance = 1% crit damage assuming base statistical probability and barring extremes such kitten crit chance or 90% crit chance.

That said I would go full Berzerkers, which is power, prec, crit damage. Slot divinity because it is the best value on points and 60 power/prec + 12% crit dam is hard to beat the vit and tough are a great bonus.

But after you get that setup going, play with it and decide how to slot your jewlery/what jewlery to get.

Just ask, do I have enough DPS? Is my survivability too low? And adjust as needed.

Realize skill and a good keybind/good trait setup can maintain very high DPS stats and you still can do well.

Personaly I have like 13kish HP, but have 51% crit chance and 80% crit damage, I am always welcomed in groups, and if I ever mention my HP, I am met with a shocked, wow and you seem to do so well, how do you do it?

Condition damage is pointless unless you are focusing on a 100% condition build, and even then the result is very lackluster.

Mist Form, Cleansing fire with regen/vigor on cantrips can help out a great deal with survival with a low cost on trait points, as for the last spot I like Arcane Bast for PvE as I feel you cant not have something to use with all your combo fields, PvP varies based on circumstance.

Lava Font + Arcane Blast = 3 stacks of might AE
Static Field + Arcane Blast = AE swiftness
Cant think of the name but the Water Chilling Field = AE Healing.

You can still roll 30 points in fire, 10 in earth for Armor of Earth, 10 in water and 20 in air and survive just fine in PvE, in PvP you can as well but you might need to bring up your toughness and HP a bit, or stay away from daggers.
