Trait Details

My choice here went to fire, air and arcana. but fire can be replace by water for more suport and survivability.

 

Fire: I chose the 3rd trait cause more for the power it gives when you use your cantrip than the cleansing fire (cooldown 40 sec).
4 for damage obviously
last is persisting flamme cause after looking again at this traits more than fury when you blast it gives 2 more second on lava font (fire field) wich is one of our most powerfull fire skill. and obviously fury during buff phase (only moment when I blast my fire field)

 

Air:
3 for more ferocity, I quite really like the fury and speed on aura but only have one aura and I think in front of forocious wind it's not worth it.
6 when you get hard cc you gain shocking aura and so .. stun foes. and much more than that you do 20% more dmaage to stun foes. It's match quite good with trait 9 ligthing rod :)

 

Arcana (cause I love arcana)
renewing stamina for more dodge :D
final shield can be replace by boon when struck tried both like both.
If you're really sure of your team mates you can take bountiful power but I prefere evasive arcana for blast water who cleans and all.

Upgrade Item Details

since we can't have stats from traits anymore you need a litlle bit of vitality to survive. vitality on jawel are awfull that's why it's on armor.
So valkyrie armor and zerk jewel for good dps and at least some health (power and ferocity on each piece so it's maximize).
Rune of pack can be replace by rune of force but since you're in valkyrie you'll like the precision on those runes.

 

I keep having bloodlust sigil and force for more power.
