磐石之心.

Skill Variants
Utility
秘法波动 over 
电光火石 - if you only want a mobility tool, Arcane Wave is often worse. It has a cast time, travel time, and shorter range. However, it's better at everything else - higher damage, CC, trait/sigil synergy, 2 charges, combo potential.

Variants
All 3 traits are viable options for the last slot:
秘法遁逸 has the highest versatility, offering both sustain and extra damage procs on dodge rolling. The biggest draw here is the extra healing/cleansing on Water.
秘法闪电 offers a Ferocity boost and adds extra effects to your Arcane skills. Worth playing if you're taking 秘法波动 over 电光火石.
富饶力量 provides a damage boost on top of 
急速 procs. While this is mainly for offensive purposes, the Quickness can also help you channel defensive skills under pressure like 
幻光恢复.
Equipment
Second set: you may have noticed a Focus on the second set, this one's for the tryhards. While Elementalists can't swap weapons in combat, they can still stack up Sigil of Stars on random PvE mobs before fights using the second set then switch back to the first set once they're ready to PvP. The Stars stacks will remain active without the need to sacrifice a sigil slot on the PvP set. It's enough to put 1 weapon into the second set as they'll inherit the missing one from the main set. If you have no intention to stack Stars before fights then you don't need the 2nd set! It's not mandatory.
Equipment Changes
Runes
超级兽群符文 - better boon duration and more of a focus on Power bursts. Use Mighty infusions.
Consumables
Food
-
黑胡椒调味牡蛎汤球 - Ascended food which boosts all of your stats much like Celestial gear while also reducing incoming strike damage. -
丁香调味牡蛎汤球 - provides a general stat boost just like the other Ascended food, but reduces incoming condition duration instead of strike damage. Could be a good option if you're struggling against conditions more than Power-based damage. -
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - extra endurance regen and 
威能 stacking, also has synergy with Relic of Rivers.
Utility
-
Budget:
紧密硬质磨刀石 either from Canned Food Crates found in WvW 
突袭宝箱s or purchased from the Permanent Portable Provisioner.

Usage
Evoker basics
-
Evokers gain access to a new skill slot, this is where you select your familiar. Here we chose Toad for extra CC and improved sustain.
-
Using skills gives you charges - at maximum charges you get to use the base special ability of your familiar -
钙化之触.- Trait procs count for building charges too! Including the on-dodge abilities of 秘法遁逸.
- Trait procs count for building charges too! Including the on-dodge abilities of
-
Calcify itself is building charges of a different kind. After every 3rd use of Calcify, you gain access to an empowered version of the skill:
震地冲击. -
While your familiar cannot be targeted, it is an entity present in combat. It means that the Toad itself is executing the F5 skills, you only command it to do so. If you command it to Calcify while Seismic Impact (SI) is active, Calcify will override and cancel SI! The Toad can't multitask.
General
-
You can build charges for
钙化之触 even out of combat. If you want to give yourself a slight edge, build up a full charge with random skill spam before mounting up. -
元素唤醒 drastically reduces the CD of 
大地协调. You can swap back from any attunement. Your Earth weapon skills can't really keep up with this, but that is often secondary - what matters is reaping the benefits of the defensive trait procs, more on that later. -
Your elite
元素队列 is a one button burst combo that almost always finds good value. It unleashes the empowered version of every familar's attack, all at once at the target location. It's good for bursting multiple targets, CCing them, or even healing up:- Hare will do
闪电突袭 for burst damage. - The Toad will CC targets and limit their movements by locking them inside a stone circle.
- Otter will heal and create a water field you can blast for even more healing.
- Fox adds some extra damage.
- Hare will do
-
The build doesn't really have ranged options, so the Earth ring produced at the center of
元素队列 is often your best tool for stopping enemies from fleeing, or locking them in place while you close the gap in general. -
钙化之触 is both defensive and offensive - the instant CC can be used to pressure enemies or interrupt their attacks.
Defense
-
The insane amount of damage mitigation is what makes this build stand out, which is carried by Earth attunement.
-
Swapping to Earth gives us:
-
Attuning to Earth for the passive benefits before quickly swapping out without even using a single weapon skill is completely fine to do, especially if you're CC'd with no stunbreak available and you're forced to tank damage.
-
If you're getting pressured a lot, every second attunement you enter should be
大地协调. You can also do this if you're new to the build and want to play it safe, but this does tend to slow your damage down a bit. If you're trying to pressure a target and aren't feeling threatened, take risks. -
磐石之心 gives you 4 seconds of damage reduction on entering Earth and 1 second upon leaving Earth. These do NOT stack! If you leave Earth too soon you could override a longer Stone Heart with a shorter one.
-
It's often overlooked but
尖刺石环 destroys projectiles. It's one of the lowest CD anti-projectile skills in the game, and a great tool against ranged enemies that you should use as often as possible, sometimes even outside melee range for defensive value. -
Almost every attunement has an evade frame, these can all be used to evade attacks even while Immobilize Immobilized:
-
Water is your second best attunement for sustain, and your best one when it comes to condition cleansing.
-
冰锥喷射, 
逆向转化冰霜 and 
净化水波 all have good healing values.- You can gain a
冰霜光环 to transmute both from skill 3 and 4.
- You can gain a
-
While Earth is your strongest attunement to swap to for mitigation, Air and Water also have options, namely
电击光环 (the stun can give you some breathing room) and 
冰霜光环 (provides damage mitigation). Both of these are instant and can be used while stunned. -
超级虹吸法印 is not to be underestimated, especially against multiple targets. A single CC can heal you for ~1k, per target. -
Every utility skills is poverful in its own right:
大地护甲 gives you more 
稳固 plus barrier for extra mitigation.
蟾蜍坚韧 is very similar to Armor of Earth, also granting Stability while providing mitigation in the form of a short block. The 
抗性 is also good for fighting soft-CC like Chill Chill or Immobilize Immobilize.- 电光火石 can get you out of trouble by teleporting away.
Condition removal
-
Condi cleansing is the weakest point of the build, but far from being a problem.
-
超级洁净法印 does much of the heavy lifting, passively keeping condition levels manageable. This can proc once every 9 seconds on attunement swapping. -
幻光恢复 is your mass cleanse, feel free to use it for condi removal even if you don't need the healing.
- It's very important that this skill is secured. The long cast time makes it easy to interrupt, and you can crumble under condition pressure if that happens. Swapping to Earth for 稳固 or using one of your utility skills that grant this boon is highly recommended.
- With a little luck you can also line this up with a 急速 proc from 富饶力量, significantly reducing the cast time.
- It's very important that this skill is secured. The long cast time makes it easy to interrupt, and you can crumble under condition pressure if that happens. Swapping to Earth for
-
净化水波 is your backup in case none of the other options are available, or if you don't need a mass cleanse.
Doing Damage
-
Most of the damage comes from Fire, followed by Earth, Air, and finally Water.
-
Everything on Fire hits hard, and you can use them in almost any order. The only thing to keep in mind is that
烈焰之攫 should only be used on 
燃烧 targets, but skills 2-4 all apply burning so that shouldn't be hard to achieve. -
炙火之环 applies burning both on initial cast and on crossing the ring. It's beneficial to fight at the edge of the ring, where the odds of enemies crossing it are higher. -
Earth has 3 combo tools that benefit from being used inside
炙火之环, granting you either 威能 or 
火焰光环. -
大地突刺's Immobilize Immobilize and 
地动山摇's CC are both great at setting up hard hitting skills, like 
大地翻腾. You can even go skill 3 ⇒ 4 ⇒ 5 - CC sets up Churning Earth, immob sets up the CC. -
The immob of
大地突刺 is great at securing more important CCs like 地动山摇 or 震地冲击. -
震地冲击 is a very important part of the build. If enemies don't have an answer to it, the ring can trap them for you to pressure while the Toad CCs them.
-
Every CC skill procs
恶魔女王古物 and 超级虹吸法印, these add significant damage over time.- Demon Queen not only improves your condi variety, but also adds significant healing reduction to the build with good uptime. This is quite useful when fighting other high sustain builds.
- Draining offers armor ignoring damage that also heals you.
- 钙化之触 is able to proc these every few seconds.
-
Consider using
蟾蜍坚韧 before bursts if you're going for the kill if you aren't feeling threatened and can afford to sacrifice a defensive utility. The 抗性 lets you ignore conditions like 
目盲 and 
虚弱. Combined with the 稳固 from traits, you should be unstoppable (unless the enemy has boon removal). -
电光火石 can also be used offensively, allowing you to burst or CC targets from range.
