please help me refine my build, i really like scep/dagger for might stacking in pve purposes, and this felt like it assisted with it really well. any refinement or advice would be appreciated.

TLDR:
pve ele
scep dagger
like might stacking/glass cannon
please state reasons on changes/why x skill is a bad choice

Did you check that writeup?

S/D by itself is low sustained damage which you will need in PvE against bosses and such. Therefore, you need a way to have sustained dps if you have that weapon set so you would want to use conjures (specifically Lightning Hammer). You will still stack might but now you have a way to sustain damage while your fire field and blast are on CD.

Elemental attunement is not needed so I would take at minimum 2 points out of the Arcane line. The only time you rotate is if you need something specific (heal) or if you need to stack might. If you need vigor then keep 2 points in Arcane but if you don’t then I would take that out too since the minor trait is useless since you have high fury uptime from your grandmaster trait in fire.

Then I would take out 2 points from water since in non coordinated groups iono how long you can stay at 90% for the extra 10%. I would dump 4 points into air for bolt to the heart and arcane lightning and this should match the 90% water trait for PuGs.

Then I would switch your traits to account for the conjures. With II. And you can go Fire V to keep up your minor 25 trait up or go with VI if you have enough burning and camp Fire for dps although that is kind of iffy since your fire attunement will be on CD after your might stack rotation.

This is what it will look something like this:
