Default PVE Searing Flames Build
I recently capped searing flames and it has become my favorite fire spell. I'm hoping to use it in pve, but I'm exactly sure what skills are most compatible with it. So far I've been running this.

Fire Magic: 16(12+4)
Energy Storage:13(12+1)

Skills

Searing flames
Glowing Gaze
Liquid Flame
Fireball/Rodgorts Invocation
Glyph Of Elemental Power
Fire Attunement
Aura Of Restoration
Ressurection Signet


Weapon: Rago's Flamestaff

Any suggestions for improvement are welcomed. Also it would be nice if you posted your builds.

hmm how about use rebirth to replace the signet? Just make it E/Mo since the rest of your skills are elementalist's.

My suggestions:

Resurection Signet-> Resurection Chant or Sunspear Rebirth Signet (Unless you don't have NF of course :P)
-Resurection Chant+Glyph of Sacrifice=fun. Mid-combat resurects FTW.

Glyph of Elemental Power->Glyph of Lesser Energy
-Because waiting for energy to recharge sucks

Fireball->Meteor
-Because nothing else you have causes exaustion, Meteor is otherwise cheap (so you don't worry about its energy cost) and has a nice knockdown.

If you want to have fun with Resurection Chant, replace AoR with Glyph of Sacrifice. If not, then just stick to a Signet. Unless for some strange reason nobody else in your party has it, then Rebith might be a good idea.

At any rate, the added e-managment of GoLE, and Meteor (cheaper than Rodgorts/Fireball) lets you rush from mob to mob with zero energy concerns.

By the time Mark of Rodgort matters, things should be long dead. SF causes plenty of burrning.

Rebirth should not be used by an ele. There is too much energy to have to build back up. My ele uses Rez Chant and that works fine.

Not if you do it first. Rodgorts invocation is a better skill. Not only does it cause mad damage, it also hits multiple foes.

Meteor is terrible. Really, I'd drop the spell for glyph of sacrifice to glyph+rez chant, and also glyph+meteor shower. Furthermore, glyph of lesser energy>glyph of elemental power. Anything to get off as many searing flames as possible is the way to go with the build.

Going E/R for serpent's quickness is a really nice idea too. It let's you use glyph of lesser energy 3 times in 60 second, and lets you spam searing pretty much constantly for 20something seconds.

Yeh, must say I like the E/R build. Here's a link to it on Guildwiki

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/E/Me_Firewall

It says Ele/Mes but it's not. ^^.

This is the build i'm running


Searing Flames
Glowing Gaze
Immolate (wild card)
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Rodgort's Invocation
Meteor Shower
Fire At.
Rez (rebirth = no energy, so!!! Not good for ele)

Attribs
Fire 16
Energy 13

Always open with Rodgort's Invocation (after Attunment and lesser energy of course)
Searing Flames (foes already burning from Rodgort's, so aditional plus 90 dmg to all)
...

I know, no healing but when required (not enough monks!) i replace immolate with aura of restoration.

Immolate = cheap and spammable skill to get foes on fire for initial dmg from searing flames.

Foes die pretty quick!

Agreed. Since its normally not monks who do the res during battle.

It may sound strange but i run extinction (prot monk skill) on all of my flamers. works wonders against other searing flames (Ruby Djinns) and anything which gives conditions.

QFT.

I can't imagine my Searing Flames build without Serpant's Quickness.
-increases speed of Searing Flames spamming
-increases number of Glyph of Lesser Energy uses per battle
-decreases Meteor Shower's recharge to 45 seconds
Love it.

If you go for really long battles, then using Energizing winds and Quickning zephyr would be good. It can be seen at the bottom of this page. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/E/Me_Firewall

It helps greatly if you have a friend with the same build so you 2 can alternate the quickening zephyrs.
