Guild Wars 2

Just got my elementalist to level 11 while on my long journey to get a character of each class to level 80, and I was wondering what’s a good DPS build for the Scepter/Dagger combo. I’m looking at all the traits, and I’m having a hard time figuring out just what to put things in, unlike the Ranger and Guardian, where it was fairly easy to figure it out for trap and support builds, respectively.

Well in terms of DPS most players tend to go 30 in arcane and 25 in air. Arcane is extremly strong and it grants so many important traits that it should be a given, especially evasive arcana.

25 in air boosts your crit chance significantly and the trait at 25 guarantees that your victim has weakness almost the whole time. This build requires you to spec a little in precision, crit dmg and power. Everything else can be chosen to be defensive.

Actually, in terms of dps, you should try 0/25/0/25/20, bountiful water gives nice dps bonus.
