Usage
General

This build relies on the interaction between


Overload Air
and
Fresh Air
. After using
Overload Air
, you can swap to another attunement and reset the cooldown on
Air Attunement
with any critical hit. This lets you spam
Electric Discharge
and
Overload Air
to powerful effect.

The attunement you swap to after


Overload Air
depends on the situation:

Fire Attunement
has high-damage skills in
Burning Speed
and
Wildfire
.
Water Attunement
provides healing and
Frozen Burst
, which you can use to blast the water field from
Water Globe
for more healing.
Earth Attunement
grants protection and
Dust Storm
for crowd control.

After using the skills you need, you should swap back to
Air Attunement
and use
Lightning Orb
and
Lightning Whip
while waiting for
Overload Air
to recharge.

Damage

DPS is mostly passive with this build; just make sure you're hitting things
with your
Overload Air
and
Lightning Whip
.
Never interrupt
Overload Air
.
You can use
Convergence
to maintain Fury Fury.
Weave in
Lightning Orb
,
Burning Speed
, and
Wildfire
when you can for more damage.
"Feel the Burn!"
does good damage and should be cast off cooldown.

Defense

The best defense is always to dodge or sidestep attacks. Use the high Vigor
Vigor uptime of this build to your advantage.
This build has a ton of protection from auras. You get an aura whenever you use
Overload Air
,
Shocking Aura
,
Sand Squall
, or any of your shouts. Use this to your advantage to soak up incoming damage.
"Flash-Freeze!"
provides even more damage mitigation on top of that with Frost Aura Frost
Aura
.
Dust Storm
constantly blinds enemies for 5 seconds.
You can use
Shocking Aura

Transmute Lightning
,
Cyclone
,
Tidal Surge
to interrupt enemies.
Sand Squall
and
"Aftershock!"
give you a projectile-reflecting aura.
Glyph of Elementals
, used in
Earth Attunement
, creates a tanky elemental that can help take pressure off you.

Sustain

Water Attunement
is the key to sustain with this build. Use
Tidal Surge
and
Water Globe
for healing. You can use
Frozen Burst
to blast the water field from
Water Globe
for more healing.
Always be spamming
Lightning Whip
or other skills to maximize the healing from
Signet of Restoration
.
If running
Written in Stone
, you can activate
Signet of Restoration
and still get the passive healing.
Your main source of condition cleanse comes from
Diamond Skin
. If you're having a lot of trouble with conditions, you can run
Ether Renewal
.
Glyph of Elementals
, used in
Water Attunement
, creates an elemental with extremely powerful healing on a short cooldown.
If you need healing really badly, you can run away and
Overload Water
.
