DiogoSilva, I really want to try to play an ele in spvp.. Can you talk more about the build you’re using please?
Because I don’t see that much ele and conjure builds in spvp…
Well, people only started experimenting with conjure builds recently.
I currently use S/F, with 30 in air (bolt to the heart, air training, fresh air), 20 in water (Cleansing Wave, Vital Striking) and 20 in arcana (elemental attunement, renewing stamina). Ether Renewal as the healing skill, Runes of Scholar, Berserker Amulet, Sigil of Force and Sigil of Fire.
The basic ideia is to burst down an opponent as fast as possible. When you switch to air, you’ll get fury for a low duration, air’s minor trait #15 will activate and deal single damage, and scepter’s 2nd air skill is an instant skill that will also deal single target damage. Any critical hit might activate sigil of fire for even more instant damage, and you can start a battle in earth by casting armor of earth → hurl before swithing to air for even more instant damage. That’s pretty strong, and you can repeat most of this sequence every 5s with fresh air trait. And there’s always fire (especially phoenix) for more high damage. You’ll have +20% damage if your hp is above 90%, +10% while in air, +5% with the sigil and +20% if your opponent has low hp. That’s between +35% and +55%, so try to do it from far, and as fast as possible, before someone starts attacking you.
Focus will offer you swirling winds and magnetic wave for anti-projectiles (and the later for condition removal), and obsidian flesh for invulnerability. And switching to water and using water trident offer a nice health boost to keep your hp high a few precious seconds more.
Of course, there’s more to it, but it revolves around you practicing the knowing where to use the remaining skills you have. But the bulk of the build revolves around what I’ve said.
Usually, this kind of build uses arcane utilities for even more instant damage. But since the buffs to conjures, there’s some players who think frost bow is worth taking over one of the arcanes. Your burst will be weaker, but it gives you something to do while fire and air attunements are recharging. Bow’s skill #2 can go as high kitten damage every 4s, which is cool, while applying plenty of vulnerability. But what makes the bow truly shine, is Ice Storm and Deep Freeze. With DF, you can stun for 5s an opponent, drop the bow, and use all your burst to kill them. Keep in mind that this build doesn’t requires DF to attack, and Frost Bow generally is better to use before someone even starts attacking you – otherwise, you can probably just ignore it unless you have any idea to do something with it. Finally, Ice Storm is so strong. With so much damage, you’ll be able to hit around 1.5-2k damage per hit. That can, depending on the situation, completely destroy everyone in a point. Again, better to do it only in safety.
