Heyo Forum!

After playing around with elementalists in the betas, I decided that I’m going to pick one up for SPvP play as an alt. Oddly enough, I don’t see a whole lot of them in comparison to warriors, mesmers, and theives. Probably just luck of the draw there, but I digress.

While doing a bit of theorycrafting and generally playing with skills, I discovered that I really like how daggerx2 ele plays, and I REALLY like the arcane skills. (Shield, burst, etc) When I looked at the trait list, I realized that there’s a movement buff in the Arcana trait line for dagger wielders.

SO I guess I need suggestions for filling out the rest of the build. I’m primarially focusing on the arcana-based utility skills, mobility, and (of course) damage.

So far, I have 20/15/5/0/30 for traits, taking V&VII in fire, IV for air, and III, IX, XI for arcana, but that seems like a rather scattered build, so I was wondering what people here thought, in addition to suggestions for runes and sigils.

Thanks in advance!
