Elementalist sPvP | Tournament Dagger/Dagger | Bunker Bunker Surprise
Table of Contents
Summary
Elementalists have it really rough after being overnerfed and with the current condi-meta. Ether Renewal is good condition removal but a clutch. I tried to find a working soloqueue build that doesn't rely on Ether Renewal. This build can bunker against 2 opponents for quite some time and then still get away with the mobility provided by traited RTL. It also has a surprising amount of burst for a build with over 1000 healing power and plays a lot like the D/D build of yore with constant healing from the signet but it abandons Evasiva Arcana for more burst and movement/crowd control.

Weapon and Skill Details
Healing Signet: gives a lot of sustain with over 1000 healing power. The active should never be used unless it is a 100% life or death decision and you're sure the ~4k heal will save you and you can survive the next 25 seconds without the passive.
Lightning Flash, Cleansing Fire, Arcane Shield: Pretty default cantrip setup. After all the nerfs (and without cantrip traits) Arcane Shield is better than Mistform in most situations.
Glyph of Elementals: You can use the Greatsword for the added mobility though I prefer the additional DPS from fire elemental or the healing from ice elemental.
II. Traits

Trait Details
Air: On demand fury and swiftness (helping you achieve perma-swiftness) through Air I, burst through the 15 point minor and most importantly, Air IX for more mobility with RTL, more crowd control with updraft, shocking aura and weakness. Air X is best for scepters but cooldown reduction does more for daggers.
Water: Maximum condition removal setup. You'll gain regeneration and remove a condition when you're crit, and you'll remove 2 conditions when attuning to water.
Arcana: Default Arcana setup, Vigor + Boons on attunement switching.

Upgrade Item Details
Hoelbrak runes are perfect for this build. They give some much needed power, proc might and make all your might stacks last longer. And most importantly they make conditions last less time on you.
Sigil of Superior Battle gives about ~150 power and condition damage on average over the duration of a fight. Sigil of Hydromancy would be another choice here for more burst potential while losing out some sustained damage. Sigil of Superior Leeching is another good choice, giving you 1k damage (though single target) and a 1k heal upon attunement swapping ever 9 seconds.
