With the buff to scepter and the extra finisher in evasive arcana, I was thinking about dusting off my Elementalist and taking it out again. Anyone have a good and current S/D build with Evasive Arcana? (I’ve always gone staff or D/D when I used to play Ele, but that was a few months ago.)
Edit: I guess S/F would be good as well, if there are any effective builds with focus, so S/F or S/D.
for pvp? try phantaram’s

If you think you are too squishy try divinity runes and maybe switch arcane blast for arcane shield
for pvp?
Whoops, should have been specific but I forgot sPvP existed:)
Looking for builds for general PvE dungeons and Fractals.
Honestly S/D works perfectly fine with any of the common D/D builds. The switch from MH dagger to scepter isn’t drastic. You’ll have slightly more defense from earth and air blind, slightly more burst heal with an instant instead of a channeled, and your fire rotation will be a bit more bursty as well.
I actually prefer it in pve over d/d, because the fire burst (ie DT) is not hard to land as compared to pvp. The only ability I really don’t care for is shatterstone.

Agree on using it in PVE. S/D is my main selection in dungeons and fractals, unless I’m intending on running aurashare (Which I choose based on group comp), where D/D has two to give.
