Hmm, really nice dmg. But as for this sigil of air, take into consideration that it cannot crit (hydromancy or force would be better i guess), but if you want to get highest damage, the sigil of the night is the way (10% more dmg during the night time).
PS. I hope anet doesnt see this, they can nerf ele by that XD

Don’t get me started on the way anet thinks the ele is op or how our class mechanics work. I have a long history of discussing these kind of things with them and I can tell you one thing: they do not have a clue. Guess why I am not using my main account anymore

Serves you right for (probably) beating my thief! I haven’t done the math yet, but I’d estimate the thief burst would probably be around 50-60k

I did a few tweaks, and the winning ele burst reached 94k damage. Here’s the thread I promised you

Really nice. Now I need to try fresh air burst build on thieves ^^.

So, the highest elementalist burst I’ve tried used Hurl –> Lightning Flash –> Churning Earth –> Electric Discharge –> Lightning Strike –> Arcane Wave –> Arcane Blast –> Ride the Lightning, and the build I used was this: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJArYhUMKZ25wlBdEBOABp6IT/yEHFkA-TlBEABMt/o8rN9AAcCAI4BAko6PbpEMAwBgzP/8zP/8+93f/93fLFQELjA-w

As it turns out, we didn’t actually benefit from Tempest Defense using this rotation. I think we could push the burst a little higher if we modified the build accordingly, but the question is how?

One option I can think of would be to remove one point from air and put it in fire for Spell Slingler, but can anyone think of something better? I want to reach that 100k mark!
