I am searching for a way to optimise a WvW or PvE backline DD in regards to damage.
What traits are the best? What runes or sigils?

20 points in Earth for Geomancer’s Alacrity, 30 points in Arcane Power for Evasive Arcana, Blasting Staff and Elemental Attunement.
If you want to go full out damage put the next 20 points in Fire but I wouldn’t advice that. If you want to be able to better in 1v1 put 20 points in Water for Cleansing Wave and Cantrip Mastery or Soothing Disruption.

With Rune of the Undeath a single hit with Eruption deals ~8000 damage, Flame Burst deals ~3500 damage. You’re weak against organized W3 groups that run mass condition remove, though.

I have 30 in fire ,10 in air (I should review that tho) 20 in earth and 10 in arcane

Internal fire Pyromancer alacrity and Persisting flame.
Your meteor shower take 24sec cd instead of 30 and last longer pretty effective in WvW I think, but I don’t think you should follow mine because its not optimized at all.

We’re out of chicken
