This is my ele burst build

Reason behind it, just make sure the person is burning, switch to ice bow then go into water attunement. You should have 117% Crit Damage with 52% Crit Chance.

Reason why I do not go Arcane, no point. This is a range build, and arcane is really good for dodging, but you should be Lightning flashing to ledges or use them for your dodge

I just want to know if this is the highest burst build there is? I feel like it should be.

This is for S/D

I’ll say if you want like to really burst like a man all or nothing take 10 from water and 10 from fire and pump earth to 25.

Take tempest defense instead of fresh air. Scholar runes is proven to be better than divinity. For utilities lighting flash, and arcane power.

Choose a target earth 4+ Lighting flash into his face, activate arcane power which is instant and proceed to burst his face with phoenix ring of fire and fire grab which should all crit dealing tons of damage.

You can alternatively initiate with rtl+updraft.

Another burst build I run for trolling is going 0/30/0/10/30 and take elemental surge to kill squishy targets is more than enough just to pop arcane power and walk into them with surprise lighting flash phoenix and fire grab which should crit at max power because elemental surge makes phoenix cause burning with arcane power.

I also see you are running focus which I say is not bad for it’s defensive utility but is not for a burst build. If you choose S/F because you like it I’ve seen come awesome S/F users in pvp but they are not burst.

Also all this is from a pvp casual hotjoin PoV.(mine).
