Scepter/Dagger PVE/Dungeons build?
S/D works well enough. It has higher burst than D/D but has slightly less mobility. Also has a bit longer range but some of the spells are easier to dodge (i.e, you can make Fire 3 hit three times if you put it slightly behind a mob).
Not sure if you’re looking for a PVP or PVE build, but this was a good discussion concerning S/D elementalists. He runs 0/20/0/20/30, but I don’t see why 0/10/0/30/30 couldn’t work.
PVE and dungeons exclusively.
25/20/0/25/0 Is a very powerful PVE build with access to the highest damage multipliers we can get.
Ember’s might, Fire cool down
Bolt to the heart, Air cool down
Vital Striking, Condition removal on swap.
Can change fire VII to VIII and use hammer for best sustian mele dps (also change condi removal to piercing shards in this case).
Carry a focus with you and you will be able to adapt to any fight (makes lupi a joke if you use s/f, lightning flash, arcane shield and mistform).
Superior sigil of energy on the scepter and force on your off hands.
Percision/crit food and master maint oil.
Can move 10 points from air to arcane and pick up vigor on crit if you are having survive issues.
I just recently went and switched my build upto
0/25/0/25/20
using a combo of valk/berserker armor along with ascended eq which i vary based on what Im doing
Runes went with Ranger x5 and 1 rata sum it saved me about 12g and since im about 3/4 done my legendary didnt wanna blow gold. So far seems to work pretty well will do some more with it tonight
also considering adding the arcana points into fire well see

I use sentinel/soldiers/rampager/clerics gear with a 0/20/0/30/20 build using cantrips and fiery greatsword. Swap out the cond removal for ice bow in dungeons use aura share just because. Could also use the one that lets you remove a condition upon applying regen on yourself which you’ll be doing every time you use a cantrip. But I find that just a little selfish even if it allows you to remove an extra condition from allies by swapping into water.
With fiery greatsword in a lvl 75 zone I can do tops 11k dmg and still have 600 healing power 18k hp and around 2600 armor, 40ish crit chance with fury and around 20 crit dmg.
Not incredible but it works. Plus if you want to you can swap to any weapon you want or utility skills and adjust your traits without having to retrait.
