==Usage==
 +
'''General'''
 +
 
 +
This build relies heavily on cycling between {{Skill|Fire Attunement}} and {{Skill|Air Attunement}} while double attuning to each in order to maintain {{Trait|Elements of Rage}}. {{Skill|Water Attunement}} and {{Skill|Earth Attunement}} are typically only used for defense or crowd control.
 +
 
 +
'''Damage'''
 +
 
 +
You have two major damage buffs with overlapping windows. You should try to fit all your major damage skills in these windows:
 +
* {{Trait|Elements of Rage}}
 +
* {{Trait|Elemental Surge}}
 +
 
 +
This build is quite easy to deal damage with if you follow this skill priority based on your attunement:
 +
* Air/Air: Prioritize {{Skill|Quantum Strike}} and AA Chains
 +
* Fire/Air: {{Skill|Flame Uprising}} > {{Skill|Pyro Vortex}} > {{Skill|Ride the Lightning}}
 +
* Fire/Fire: {{Skill|Fire Grab}} > {{Skill|Ring of Fire (elementalist)}} > {{Skill|Flame Uprising}} > {{Skill|Cauterizing Strike}}
 +
* Air/Fire: AA Chains
 +
 
 +
If you wind up in Water:
 +
* {{Skill|Twin Strike}} > Water AA Chain > {{Skill|Shearing Edge}}
 +
 
 +
Earth:
 +
Earth actually has a few useful blast finishers which can help with might if you have a fire field down
 +
* {{Skill|Earthquake}} > {{Skill|Lava Skin}} Try to leave earth as soon as possible
 +
 
 +
Ideally you'll use your {{Skill|Primordial Stance}} in Air for {{Tooltip|Vulnerability}}, though if a mob is already capped on vuln using it in Fire is higher DPS. Try not to interrupt your AA chains in Air, it's fine to interrupt fire if a big skill is about to come off cooldown.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
'''Defense'''
 +
 
 +
Sword/Dagger's defense is somewhat low.
 +
* {{Skill|Riptide}} - heal and evade
 +
* {{Skill|Frost Aura}} - damage reduction
 +
* {{Skill|Cleansing Wave}} - condi cleanse
 +
* {{Skill|Earthen Vortex}} - evade & blast finisher
 +
 
 +
Focus has significantly more defensive options & CC, though loses DPS:
 +
* {{Skill|Magnetic Wave}}, {{Skill|Swirling Winds}} - projectile hate
 +
* {{Skill|Obsidian Flesh}} - invuln
 +
 
 +
'''Crowd Control'''
 +

Usage

General

This build relies heavily on cycling between Fire Attunement and Air Attunement while double attuning to each in order to maintain Elements of Rage. Water Attunement and Earth Attunement are typically only used for defense or crowd control.

Damage

You have two major damage buffs with overlapping windows. You should try to fit all your major damage skills in these windows:

  • Elements of Rage
  • Elemental Surge

This build is quite easy to deal damage with if you follow this skill priority based on your attunement:

  • Air/Air: Prioritize Quantum Strike and AA Chains
  • Fire/Air: Flame Uprising > Pyro Vortex > Ride the Lightning
  • Fire/Fire: Fire Grab > Ring of Fire (elementalist) > Flame Uprising > Cauterizing Strike
  • Air/Fire: AA Chains

If you wind up in Water:

  • Twin Strike > Water AA Chain > Shearing Edge

Earth: Earth actually has a few useful blast finishers which can help with might if you have a fire field down

  • Earthquake > Lava Skin Try to leave earth as soon as possible

Ideally you'll use your Primordial Stance in Air for Vulnerability Vulnerability, though if a mob is already capped on vuln using it in Fire is higher DPS. Try not to interrupt your AA chains in Air, it's fine to interrupt fire if a big skill is about to come off cooldown.


Defense

Sword/Dagger's defense is somewhat low.

  • Riptide - heal and evade
  • Frost Aura - damage reduction
  • Cleansing Wave - condi cleanse
  • Earthen Vortex - evade & blast finisher

Focus has significantly more defensive options & CC, though loses DPS:

  • Magnetic Wave, Swirling Winds - projectile hate
  • Obsidian Flesh - invuln

Crowd Control

  • Updraft
  • Earthquake
  • Gale Strike
