Elementalist, hybrid build. Scepter+Focus.
Well,
To each their own. If this is a build you like, go nuts! That being said, if you’re posting it here for critiques…
It’s not very PvE effective.
Without touching the power tree, you’re losing a ton of damage right out the gate, not to mention that you’re not using Scholar, Strength or Pack Runes. The utility you’re getting out of Arcane just doesn’t make up for there’s damage that comes from Fire & its buffs. Not to mention, as a scepter build, it’s easy for you to stack might/fury with the Grandmaster Fire Trait. That’s a big loss for you & a party,
There’s an unfortunate reason why the meta builds are so good, and at present berserker builds focusing on power & precision pretty much lay waste to everything in front of you.
I’ve tested some fun builds myself, I particualrly liked the Written in Stone Signet build, but many of them just aren’t viable in serious play. When it comes to dungeons & fractals, go big or go home, I’m sorry to say. I wish it weren’t that way, but the Zerker meta has pigeon hole’d most classes into one build with a handful of minor variants tied to it. I don’t necessarily mind that, as I’ve always enjoyed DPS classes, but I also prefer diversity in viable builds.
In my case, I tried scepter… And I wanted to like it, but I despise its skill set so I went staff instead. And man… I do not regret that decision one bit.
However, it’s a game. It’s meant to be fun. So, play what’s fun.
