Looking to see if anyone has come up with any clever new focus builds since the patch. I run bunker ele 99% of my play time, and lately have been running the standard 0/0/10/30/30 bunker build, but using mist form, signet of air, and cleansing flame. curious if anyone has any other new fancy ideas since the patch?

I came up with this D/F build a couple days ago: http://tinyurl.com/btpu55q (Or copy paste: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-k3c;0J0B2-U035-N-Z0;9;599JT;10;02;024-45ASJ;1o0-nBnBnB2D6NZ)

I tested it a bit and it had some nice burst and good survivability, but the burst was not hard to screw up and, if you did screw up, your DPS tanked fast. It revolves around might stacking while simultaneously disabling your enemy. If done perfectly, you can get off a lot of damage while taking very minimal damage in a 1v1 scenario.

The fact of the matter is D/D has more mobility, more AoE, and more damage. I like D/F but it just can not rationally beat D/D. I hope they address the focus in next month’s update. I really want to play it, but the weapon, especially in fire attunement, needs to be rebalanced.
