For starters, you should choose between air and fire – not both. They share cooldowns. Fire is probably better; the AoE is nice versus mesmers and anytime there’s more than one target, it becomes more valuable than air at the cost of something like 10% less power scalling. Accuracy is OK on offhand, however, I would get force if you run hidden killer. If you think you can get away with it, have a weapon set (short bow is where I like it) with bloodlust and switch to it when you’re about to land kills to stack it up.

I was the best at burning things. Especially bosses that
didn’t move.

Completely agree with this guy! Fire/Force and bloodlust if you’re running full berserker. Especially if you have hidden killer. You can also have a second dagger in your inventory with bloodlust and use it until you have 25 stacks of bloodlust and just swap it for the force dagger ^^

I’ll agree with Oxy on this one, except for perhaps the part about fire sigil. If you’re competent enough, you’ll probably want to get Air Sigil for the single-target burst. It does very slightly more than twice the damage per individual target that Fire Sigil does, and scales slightly better. Unless you’re going to be in a tightly packed area with lots of enemies all the time, Air Sigil will definitely serve you better, especially since you’re a single-target burster. But experiment, it’s your choice.

I’ll also mention that Air Sigil has a 1.1 coefficient on power over Fire’s 1, but that’s only for a single target, remember.
