Hello all! Been playing around with D/D Ele in pvp and have a fairly simple question for you all.

I run Zephyr’s Boon and Elemental Shielding with a Boon Duration setup (50% Boon duration, 65% protection duration) and was wondering if it was worth using the fire field -> Leap combo finisher to proc Fire Aura, which does activate both traits, or if I should save my immobilize

Typically, I use Burning Speed + Lightning Flash -> Ring Of Fire -> Earth Swap -> Dodge in earth -> Magnetic Grasp -> Earthquake -> Magnetic Leap as my main burst rotation (I typically try to save RTL for gap closing and Updraft to use as an interrupt or to set up burst if Lightning Flash is on CD).

Am just curios as it’s a combo I don’t see used a lot by d/d eles, and if there was some reason it’s typically not used.

Thanks in advance for information, and any other tips are welcome.

I generally spam as much might as I can when fighting on a point.
Verses anything I know will break distance from me with stealth, leap, etc, I hit grasp once, wait for them to move, then use it again. It will leap a lot farther, and track people in stealth.

P.S. I stopped playing D/D in spvp awhile ago. Prefer s/f these days.

Magnetic Leap has a massive animation that gets you hit too many times in flight/while landing.

I prefer to save Magnetic Grasp for landing Burning Speed→(Fire Grab) and guarantees advantage since either one would hit/the opponent just wasted two dodges/popped condi remove and is thus now more vulnerable to Drakes Breath/popped a defensive CD.

Quasi-elitist dungeoneer and missing Gw1 GvGs greatly.
