For staff pve, you’ll probably want 6/4/2/2/0 or 6/2/2/2/2 taking persisting flames and all the +% damage traits you can. Full berserker is reccomended, with ruby orbs, scholar runes or strength runes depending on what you can afford. You’ll basically want to sit in fire as much as possible and spam lava font and the autoattack, and blast fire fields when you can, which can also activate arcane lightning if you go for that trait. Apparently it offers the best DPS in the game for PvE, but S/D or S/F lightning hammer builds can provide more might/fury support and D/F builds are probably the best for high level fractals due to better defense.

What do you mean by 6/4/2/2/0 or 6/2/2/2/2? I am just a freelance player and never been into builds and what not but now I am trying to understand them more, if this is what it even pertains too.

6/4/2/2/0 is one example of how players quickly and easily share information about builds. They refer to the allocation of trait points in descending order. For example, 6/4/2/2/0 means 6 in fire, 4 in air, and 2 in water in earth and 0 in Arcane. This build is simply what is estimated to offer the best DPS for Fire Staff builds becuase of arcane lightning and many +% damage traits like bolt to the heart, stone splinters, and vital striking.
