There’s a lot of trait point variations but for the most part the best staff build I’ve found to like is this:

Just please keep in mind that you should occasionally be using D/F as well and be frequently swapping weapons when out of combat to abuse your skills to their fullest. Traits should also be changing very often depending on what you’re doing, as well as utilities!

For example sometimes you won’t need glyph of storms and can swap to signet of fire. Sometimes you’ll want to maintain cripple on a mob and want to use glyph of elemental power in earth for it. Sometimes you’ll want arcane shield, sometimes you’ll want to swap your elite for glyph of elementals and have the rock elemental tank for you. There’s a lot of things to learn.

Sometimes strength runes are also best on ele for solo situations – depends on a lot of things now. The might nerf really hurt strength runes so I always just stay on scholar now. Staff sometimes you’ll want Force+Night instead of Force+Accuracy but I purposely left it to be a combination that you can never go wrong with because I know it’s costly to swap sigils.

Also, learn to pre-stack might before engaging in a fight. I made a few videos demonstrating it:

Pre-Stacking 24 Might (Dagger Firefield)
Prestacking with an Elementalist

Hopefully this will help you out – feel free to PM me ingame if you have any specific questions and if I’m there and notice the message I’d be glad to help.
