Ok im a lvl 62 ele and have messed around with different builds. I enjoy switch attunements A LOT, i never wait for cooldowns i dont really see a point, why wait and auto attack when you can change to a attunement and use those skills First i tried the fire/air build, loved the damage but i was so squishy and lost interest in it. So i just messed around looked through the traits and made my own.

I have no calculation or anything like that, this is all purely on how i like to play and what i think works for me. 20/0/0/25/20 (havent decided what to do with the last 5 points, any suggestions?)

With this my attunement cooldown is like 11-12 secs, and everytime i switch i get, 2 fury 1 boon depending on what i change too. So that is 3 boons just for switching, i also use soothing disruption, which give regen and vigor, and spell slinger, this gives me 3 stacks of might. I can easily have 6 boons on me in combat, also i use lightning flash- cantrip, and cleansing fire-cantrip, i have stacked might alone up to 13. With the 2 other boons i get for just switching i have gotten 15 boons easy. All these boons are awesome, and help a lot with damage healing etc. But with bountiful power, i can easily have 20-30 % damage increase!!!!!

So far i havent gotten to test it but so far ive loved it and i can survive more and do just about the same damage (just not as much burst, but i have been testing things with signet of fire, which is a 6% crit chance increase). Well thats about it Just thought i would share since i havent really seen anything like this here or anywhere else. If you have any suggestion i would gladly take them !!!!

I don’t think bountiful power works with multiple stacks of a single boon, only with the number of unique boons on you. I could be mistaken but that would seem like a huge damage increase then and almost a must have ability.

I agree with kschmidt, although I also have not tested it; the absolute maximum you should get from Bountiful Power is 8% damage with all 8 boons. Obviously, most of the time you will have fewer boons than this, making this an OK trait more or less in line with the other 25 pointers.

Depending on how much time you spend in fire the 30 point talent Pyromancer’s Puissance is great. 1 Might stack per fire skill used (swapping to fire attunement counts so that gives you 2 might stacks). If I’m just sitting around in fire for a little while I can easily reach 20 stacks of might in a longer fight (especially if I use Ring of Fire, Phoenix and Dragon’s Tooth to give some aoe might stacks).
