Elementalist no precision
I have tried builds using that idea one with Cavalier amulet and another with Valkyrie amulet. For me it just did not work good enough. I would get spikes of crazy damage and then long periods of ok damage. Its just not enough.
Also the amulet you are suggesting was removed from PvP, it was called Vigilant amulet.
Sigil of intelligence is just about as useless as arcane power, for the following reasons:
- Ele damage comes mostly from a bunch of tiny hits. The biggest burst ele can do is phoenix (2 hits traveling to and from, 1 hit from blast) + Lightning flash + air swap + air 2 + arcanes. All together, this is 7 things chained together, and it does about the same damage that other classes can do with 1 hit. Sigil of intelligence and and arcane power would use 1 stack per-hit, not per skill, so you don’t even guarantee a crit for your entire burst (which leaves you completely vulnerable).
- Sigil of intelligence is harder to control on ele, as you constantly rotate attunements, so it will proc in different elements. On other classes, the CD aligns well with their weapon-swap.
As for your stats, there is almost no reason to bring an ele in pvp without healing power. Since everything ele can do, can be done on another class, just way better (druids/scrappers are better support bruisers, thieves and revs are better roamers, necros and DH are better nukers, berzerker and chronomancers are better selfish-bruisers or roaming dps, and DH is a better bunker). If you want to do anything for your team, you have to use the fact that you can provide some good cleanse and heals, and mostly focus on doing that. If you want to play any other role (and even that role), you should probably get another class.
I play ele with sage amulet and arcane. It´s not burst but it´s good damage.
But its some kind of jack of all build that can´t heal others to much.I like it but i am not shure if it pays off. I don´t use intelligence. It´s realy not so good on ele.
Arcane power maybe for scepter but i usualy lack slots on the toolbar. If you play base ele maybe.
If you want to play damage ele go fresh air s/f. Use the mobility and high burst to quickly +1 fights and then keep rotating. The build can either kill or escape any 1v1. The hardest match up is condi mes. It’s incredibly effective vs necros, and holds its own vs guards which you see a lot of.
Main weakness is lack of res/stomp ability and cc. Abuse your damage output and mobility.
It’s a very high skill-capacity build, but if you put in the time to learn it, its very fun and rewarding.
