I call an ele a noob if he spends most of the time in on fire attunement and/or has signets equipped. In my opinion all signets are totally useless (in PvE). For each signet there exists a better alternative:
- Instead of the Healing and Water Signet, use Ether Renewal to heal more points and remove ALL conditions and Glyph of Storms to chill multiple enemies for more than 4s.
- The passive effect of Air Signet is useless in combat and for the active effect you can also use Glyph of Storms on earth attunement for mass blinding.
- The bonuses given by the passive effects of the Fire and Earth Signets are too low for character stats on the scale of 10^3.
- The active effect of fire signet is useless too because a mob burns already most of time even without this signet.
- The active effect of the earth signet is not totally useless. It’s very good in PvP but for fighting mobs in PvE it’s not woth taking with you. There are seldom times where you have to immobilize a mob. You get more benefits from simply using Arcane Wave as an additional Combo Finisher.
