Elementalist - Core Signet Ele - MetaBattle

General

石刻纹章 causes your signets to retain their passive effects even after being used, so there's no downside to using most of your signets on CD.
元素雕文 is a very flexible elite that changes based on yuor attunement.
- Fire is best for damage.
- Water is best for sustain.
- Air is best for CC.

Damage

A significant chunk of the damage comes from 大地纹章 and 火焰纹章. Use these on CD and build your burst combos around these two. You won't be dealing a lot of damage outside burst combos.
大地纹章 is great at rooting enemies into your hard hitting skills and should be used at the start of burst combos.
Your best damaging skills other than the signets are 炽焰疾步, 龙蜥吐息, 尖刺石环 and 闪电鞭击 spam.
燃烧 and 流血 are your only damaging conditions (not counting the sigil and relic procs), try to cover them with stuff like 冰冻 from 冰封爆裂 or even the 目盲 / 易伤 from 空气纹章 to make them harder to cleanse, if you feel like you can get away with using your only stun break offensively.

Sustain

Gaining an aura removes a condition and grants 保护 thanks to 窒息光环 and 元素护盾.
窒息光环 also makes you lose 2 conditions whenever you transmute an aura - in this build you get to do that on both Air and Fire attunements by using the chain skills of 电击光环 (Air skill #3) and 火焰护盾 (Fire skill #5).
太阳黑子 grants you Fire Aura whenever you attune to 火焰协调. The above mentioned two traits therefore make attuning to Fire an instant source of cleansing and damage mitigation.
makes it so you also gain when attuning to , so both attuning to Fire and Earth grant instant damage mitigation.

There is no reason not to use on CD if you're missing some health, as you retain the passive of signets even while they are recharging.
When used on Water, summons a Water Elemental and becomes available for you. This heals about twice as much as your healing skill, removes a condition, and even knocks back enemies! Always use your elite on Water if you're struggling to survive.
procs a lesser version of whenever you use your elite. This includes the 15s CD chain skill of your elite, not just the part that summons the elemental! The trait itself has a 20s internal CD, so sometimes you may want to consider waiting 5 more seconds before using and other pet attacks in order to proc this on every cast.
followed by is a good defensive combo that could help distance yourself from enemies while evading their attacks and even comboing for trait synergy.
- In general always try to use Magnetic Leap in one of your fire fields to combo auras.
It's possible to cleanse up to 9 conditions with the following chain: ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒ ⇒
, and provide plenty of defense against projectiles. These could be crucial when it comes to surviving Longbow rangers or .
