This.

Mine are 0 10 10 20 30, dd ele cantrip build. Can’t say the best but still good if you know your limits ^^

I, as well, don’t like doing damage.

Yeah, using the same build for 12 months now because it is still the best build is totally fine for game that promotes build diversity in all classes.

I agree with the spirit but not your logic. Time has nothing to do with build diversity. If a build is still good even for 2 years then it is still good, if they are other options.

The problem with that build is the fact that it is one of only 2 builds that are the bEST we can have, but in reality are slightly below average when compared to other classes.

Scepter/Focus 0 30 10/20 0 30/20 Zerker ele. WAY better than this bunky stuff. Ofc you can run some crappy bunker cantripp stuff, but you wont kill anything with a brain.

I just love mashing face in nearly every 1o1/teamfight. Ofc this only works as long as the enemy necro/thief doesn´t see you… But a cantrip bunker dies nearly as fast, and has no chance of killing someone else. So….

I am die-hard S/D 0/30/15/15/10 Zerker. I need my Earthquake/Updraft to triple hit Phoenix every time vs Gale’s once every 50 seconds. Dat Phoenix kill feel.

Someone suggested me a super bursty type spec that is 30/30/10/0/0 with earth signet to setup your kills. It’s really challenging to play without any points into arcana or water like most ele players do.

I run an odd build, but only go 15 water and 10 arcane using sig of earth to setup kills. My usual build is 0 water 0-10 arcane, but with condition meta I can’t play it as well.

I currently play a 30/30/0/0/10 spec with LF + double arcanes, and it’s honestly super fun.

Maybe I’ll try 30/30/10 for a little while.

I find 30/30/x/x/x quite a poor investment. I struggle to maintain burning for Ember’s might and Fire 25 so overall much prefer Stone Splinters + Vital Striking to going balls deep into fire.

Even hardcore pve calls for 0/25/25/20/0 and doesn’t pump Fire since the +damage trait steroids heavily outweigh the gain in power.

I run 0/15/10/15/30 with D/D. The 15 in air is fairly noticeable in 1v1s, both for the precision and crit damage and for the on swap effect. The Earth 6 major trait is great. 10% extra damage and more toughness for investing into it is amazing. I only run 15 in water for the heal on swap, and Evasive Arcana is a must for me.

Yea, 15 air is very good for 1v1 with D/D. I used to run 0 15 0 25 30, though the 10 earth would be much better then the 1% damage per boon that water 25 now is. Once in combat, the air 15 can be used to clear blind, remove enemy aegis and the extra damage is nice (as well as an instant poison if using sigil of doom). I used to run the 0 15 0 25 30 setup with zerker runes in pvp and it was very fun
