Static field is an electric field, blasting it gives area swiftness, area swiftness is key for zerg movement
Fur hat looks best, GW2 cap more original but might get old, Wizard hat confirmed best ele hat.
You’re definitely a solid elementalist, and that definitely is a solid ele build. People always underestimate the damage and control and support a staff can do all at the same time. However, my personal bloodlust would find that build to be a bit too much on the tanky side. I haven’t put a point into water for over a month, and the staff build I’m running is similar to your but is 6/4/0/0/4. I took that 150 ferocity arcane trait and BTTH with strength runes and zerker amulet because when I hurt people, I like to hurt them a lot. I also, instead of internal fire, took lava font on down. I’ve found that if I’m in a double down situation that I’ll usually win with the extra huge DPS coming from the 10 second font. At my full stacks and downed, I’ve hit people for 5000 a tick in addition to my downed 1. Still, if they’re a ranger with a longbow or anything that breathes hard enough I crumple like a dried leaf on fire, but still.
I’ve essentially stopped using my daggers after playing staff for long enough in PvE. In my bloodlust I even forget that I can have meteors unless I see three names to nuke. There’s so much that can be done on staff it’s not even funny. I can comfortably 1v1 warriors, thieves, guards, whatever because of how much CC staff can actually throw out all the while bursting them down. There is no better feeling than lightning flash gusting someone off a cliff or into your instagib AoEs.
Glyph of Restoration. The swiftness comes in handy for roaming around, but in all aspects in a very strong heal that I typically wouldn’t need to cast that much if I played my positioning and cc right as a staff ele.
