give me a good Searing flames build.

I've looked all over and can't find one.

I'm guessing it's used like a normal nuker except with rodgarts invocation for AoE burning?

So would it look something ilke this?

1. Aura of Restoration
2. Fire Attunement
3. Rodgart's
4. Searing Flames
5. Meteor
6. Fireball
7. Meteor Shower
8. Some sort of res or arcane echo?

standard sf build is something along the lines of


Searing Flames
Glowing Gaze
Liquid Flame
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Meteor Shower
Fire Attunement
Glyph of Sacrifice
Resurrection Signet

Though you can also swap in Aura of Restoration for Glyph of Sacrifice and/or Meteor for Meteor Shower

I take Mark of Rodgort now because of the nerf. No glyph of sac. (in PvP I do though depending on whos doing what, who brings Mark, who is caller etc.) If a mob is stationary do
1)MS
2)mark of rodgort
3)liquid flame (gets them all on fire)
4)SF

By the time the first MS hits, you casted Liquid flame and are about to do SF. thats a total of 382 damage.

Do SF again and the second MS will hit giving another 280 damage.

I find Mark of Rodgort irreplaceable in a SF build, without it you will "lose" about 1 in 2-3 casts of searing flames just to trigger the burning..(that's like 33-50% less damage without MoR) with MoR you can cast it, then Glowing Gaze (gaze energy gain will always trigger if the target is hexed with MoR). This allows you to follow up with Searing flames and nuke it repeatedly, always getting the damage, and always getting the energy return from Glowing Gaze.

Heres what I use for PvE

[card]Fire Attunement[/card][card]Aura of Restoration[/card][card]Searing Flames[/card][card]Glowing Gaze[/card][card]Liquid Flame[/card] [card]Searing Heat[/card][card]Meteor Shower[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

or this

[card]Fire Attunement[/card][card]Glyph of Elemental Power[/card][card]Searing Flames[/card][card]Glowing Gaze[/card][card]Liquid Flame[/card] [card]Searing Heat[/card][card]Meteor Shower[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]

The [card]Glyph of Elemental Power[/card] takes my SF dmg from 119 to 133, which isn't too bad. I use Searing Heat to finish off mobs on my tank after taking them down with SF. It also helps to break aggro on me or another caster.

This build (as I think any SF build) works 100 times better if someone in your party is running SF as well. Thats why I set up one of my Hero's with SF and GG and the rest Mesmer interupts. Works like a charm.

Standard SF Bar is Searing Flames, Glowing Gaze, Meteor Shower, Glyph of Lesser Energy, Fire Attunement, Liquid Flame, Resurrection Chant, Glyph of Sacrifice.

Glyph of Sacrifice pulls double duty for Meteor Shower and Resurrection Chant, Liquid Flame is just good, and all the emanagement is needed to power Searing Flames. With the nerf to Searing Flames, Mark of Rodgort (with its buff) is a good skill to run as well (in place of Liquid Flame most of the time).

Peace,
