Q:

I’ve been running around with this build for a bit, and was wondering if their is any other builds out there that is worth looking into. I do both alot of roaming, WvW, and Spvp.

A:

I wouldn’t change zephyrs boon, to say that you have perma fury with 2.75sx4 on an 11 second cd is ridiculous. I personally am not in the habit of swapping attunements as soon as the next one is off cd and considering if you are sometimes forced to stand in air attunement waiting for stability to drop off the enemy you want your skill one to crit often especially when running full celestial.

Secondly vigour is pointless? what the hell man perma vigour is the only way you get max use out of evasive arcana. he is a roamer so he needs vigour a lot. I am assuming you are simply standing in a zerg spamming skill one to justify your remarks.

In spvp especially that is the best build you can go for, however in spvp drop the cleansing fire for either mist form (safe stomps) or arcane shield (dps and survivability), drop the sigil of bloodlust for either sigil of air or sigil or doom and finally drop the traveler runes for strength runes. In fact if you can afford these for wvw your build will become hellish stronger.

Its a solid build, but i would change 2-3things:

zephyr’s boon, why ? you have near perma fury (2,75×4 on 10sec cd well a little less in fact but still) and you have traveler rune for swifness.
((i’m not a big fan of soothing disruption cause vigor is pointless but yes for dispell ist kittening good, don’t take it would force a total rework on the build.))
assuming you have the money for: you can put a bloodlust sigil on your underwater weapon, once you get full stacked, you can swap your bloodlust ground weapon with one with another sigil.

Conclusion:
solid build, would just change zephyr’s boon

Tempest seems made careful not to make ele better in any way, since that would be bad

It does the job well :-)

Sheppy you miss read me.
I did say say this was in fact a little less than 2,75×4sec every 11sec, i though it was obvious it was due to non-spamming attunement). I do spamm 1 air too, but its often during block/invul, i really think the efficient uptime won is to little.

I didn’t say vigor is pointless, i said vigor from cantrip is. Since you got perma vigoe with just 2arcana.
