My build for the Elementalist is for burst damage with mass crits. I need help to make this build better from other elementalist players.

Not really sure why you have condition gear and runes then if youre going for a burst build. If you want scpeter/focus Id use the fresh air build and zerker amulet. You can find it if you google fresh air.

Ok, sorry about the items. Please just focus on the trait and abilities. For this build I’m going for all out burst. Which can switch to a staff for peel with heals if need be. For the weapons I not quit sure what would work I been tested duo daggers, scepter with dagger, dagger with focus, and scepter with focus. With these I have not found a go combo that works with what I want. In short items don’t matter at the current point. Besides the weapons.

You can’t switch to the Staff in combat.
Regeneration is a weak amount of healing, you don’t want to be dumping a trait slot for it without some kind of synergy. The only burst in your entire build is Phoenix→Air+AB, then you’re completely out of gas.

The Fresh Air build mentioned above is actually a very similar build to this except it bursts more often and has more clean defensive traiting.

There’s a few variations to the build but here’s a basic core:

Common Variations: Bolt to the Heart instead of One with Air, 06206, replacing Signet of Air (usually with Arcane Blast or Wave)

Here’s Phantaram’s version

I watched him in a stream say he goes 6 Arcane instead of 4Water4Arcane because he’s used to the shorter cooldown on attunements.

- Another variant is D/F instead of S/F.
- Someone recently posted a variant that runs Lightning Rod instead of Fresh Air.
