Infernal Staff Solo PvP Build
Strengths
- High Burst Damage
- Good Kiting Potential
Weaknesses
- Low Mobility
Overview
This 
Elder's Infernal Staff build focuses on kiting enemies and delivering high single target DPS in quick bursts. It performs well as a solo build for open world PVP and Solo Mists but it can also do well on Greater Mists when coupled with a healer or a CC heavy build that allows you to deliver damage quicker. The build remains easy to learn and play as it has a very straightforward playstyle.
Equipment
Elder's Cryptcandle could be cheaper while providing roughly the same IP as an 8.0.
Usage
Elder's Infernal Staff
Fire Bolt — This is your main damaging ability as it couples perfectly with both 
Aggressive Caster and 
Mark of the Raven. You should use this at all times to do damage without bothering with auto-attacks as this skill essentially replaces the auto-attacks.
Flame Blast — A great, versatile skill that can be used both offensively and as utility providing you a bit of extra movement speed. However, most of the time you want to use this ability on enemies. With it's instant cast time, you can start off the fight with it and use it on cooldown for movement and damage.
You should swap to 
Wall of Flames vs enemies that have to be in melee range to apply their damage as you can play around the wall and kite them quite easily that way.
Combustion — This is the skill you use to trigger Mark of the Raven and start your burst damage. You can also use this to interrupt the enemy casting as the ability fears anyone hit by it and leaves a trail of fire behind that also does the same short fear that is very similar to how Wall of Flames works.
Aggressive Caster — This will passively increases your damage as you make use of all your abilities, the 10% increases is good to have!
Elder's Cleric Robe
Everlasting Spirit — While it takes good timing, Everlasting Spirit is a great defensive ability to help you mitigate a lot of burst damage. Make sure to use this while anticipating damage from auto-attacks or other abilities as the first hit you take during the short duration of the Everlasting Spirit will create the shield that makes you invulnerable and acts as a great defensive ability when you have your Wall of Flames on cooldown or right after you've already used it on a melee enemy.
Aggression — The passive offers you a great flat damage increase.
Elder's Hunter Hood
Retaliate — Another defensive option, Retaliate increases your damage resistance for a short duration while also reflecting 85% of incoming damage back to the attacker. You should try to use this against skills like 
Electric Field or other skills with high damage potential. Keep in mind that some abilities cannot be reflected (like 
Exploding Shot).
Balanced Mind — You want to choose this passive for the raw damage increase.
Elder's Guardian Boots
Giant — This defensive is fantastic as it doesn't decrease your damage done and helps a lot with your staying power and denying enemy damage. Use this as your first defensive in order to force enemies to kite away and allow you to deal free damage through Fire Bolt. You can change this skill to 
Rejuvenating Sprint as well if you are up against a build that needs to be kited.
Toughness — This defensive option is preferred over 
Authority. You can also use 
Courier if you need extra bag weight.
Elder's Morgana Cape
Mark of the Raven — This cape skill pairs perfectly with Aggressive Caster and increases your cast speed even more, allowing you to deal quick damage by simply spamming Fire Bolt. Keep in mind that this skill is activated by using Combustion
Rotations
- This remains one of the easiest rotation. You want to start off by casting Combustion in order to trigger Mark of the Raven and increase your cast speed. You should then start spamming Fire Bolt while following your enemy. If they fight back, you should use Giant to counter damage while making use of the Mark of the Raven.
Consumables
Major Healing Potion — Use this to keep your HP up. However, make sure that you aren't using it while Giant is active because then you wouldn't be healing much as your max HP is increased by a lot.
Pork Omelette — The omelette is a good choice as it offers great cooldown reduction for all your spells. Not only this but it also increases your casting speed. Using a 7.1 is great as it offers you even more of the original stats without a great cost.
