I’ve been playing around with a build that uses Conjured Weapons and Glyph of Storms and a lot of Power.

The weapons sets aren’t that important (because you’ll be using Conjured Weapons 95% of the time), so just use whatever you like the most – I go back and forth between Scepter/Focus (for Dragon’s Tooth and Comet) and Dagger/Dagger. I’ve tried Staff a bit for Meteor Storm, but I didn’t like much else on it. In any case, you will hardly ever use them, so it doesn’t matter much.

I try to Storm people with the Glyph and the Ice Bow – if they close with me, I switch to Lightning Hammer.

Majority of the time I’m in Fire Attunement for the extra damage, but will switch to Water if I’m dying.

Defense primarily comes from Chill on the Ice Bow, and Blind on the Lightning Hammer, as well as the a faster CD Glyph of Elemental Harmony.

Runes are there to get 6 stacks of Might on heal (3 from the Runes, 3 from Fire Attunement), not so much for the Heal Power (if there’s a Power based Rune set that also gives 3 stacks of Might on heal, let me know) – as well as the extra boon duration which should keep Might going for awhile, along with Pyromancer’s Puissance.

Conjured weapons count for Pyromancer’s while you’re attuned to fire (isn’t that great), so you can stack more might, even while you’re CC’ing with the Ice Bow, or hammering people with Lightning Hammer.

using LH means that you need high crit chance. bolt to the heart (air VI) must have for any dps build. mist form/A shield must have to avoid some melee damage.
glyph of harmony pretty useless, cuz it dosnt remove conditions.
no fury for party, makes 30 in fire useless.
condi food? you dont have condi dmg with cavalier eq. you dont have 30 earth to boost yo condi dmg

bad build.

I use LH primarily for the blind at the end of the auto-attack chain (to a lesser extent lightning storm)

With Quick Glyphs and Runes of Altruism I get 6 stacks of might every 20 sec.

I get Fury both from Glyph of Harmony and 5 pts. in Arcane.

Cond dmg? What are you talking about. This build is tons of power/might, and crit dmg

The primary change is in the Sigils – I’m now using Battle/Bloodlust

(Edit: and also switched Runes to 4 Fire/2 Altruism, for more Might stacks).

(Edit: Switched out LH for Flame Axe – hadn’t realized before that S1 on the Axe grants Might – I miss the Blind on the LG though – wish Flame Axe had at least one defensive ability – I’ll just have to rely on Chill).
