WRONG I find that build, one of the noobish builds in PvE, Searing flames is completely overused! Not that its a bad skill. Its just hard to use expecially when you energy drops to 0 in a 1 minute fight. If you want a strong build, hit 140 on 60 armor every 2.5 seconds. Here is what you need.
12+1+3 Air Magic
10+1 Energy Storage
8 Earth Prayers
A +20% enchantment staff, Everlasting Ghostly Staff for 35k in auction *ouch* or the Yak Slapper (about 3-5k, perfect staff for this, you will only be casting spells with this build)
The build:
[card]Blinding Flash[/card][card]Lightning Hammer[/card][card]Lightning Orb[/card][card]Mystic Regeneration[/card][card]Aura of Restoration[/card][card]Air Attunement[/card][card]Elemental Attunement[/card][card]Resurrection Signet[/card]
Simple spam Lighting Hammer and Lighting Orb. Blinding Flash Helps out... a lot with those warrior bosses. Mystic Regen means a break for monks. Note: ALWAYS keep up The Energy Saving Enchantment Spells UP! One last thing, cast the enchantments from left to right, and Mystic regen only use while being attacked. If it sounds hard to you, it isn't. Plus save some money (or time) on the elite, Here is where to get the elite spell! Have fun!

You do realize that Searing Flames is 106 damage at 16 fire? Plus burning?
There's not that much of a difference in damage, not to mention that SF can effect multiple targets.
If two targets are effected, that's double the DPS, easily overcoming a lightning hammer build.
Not that I'm knocking an air build, I love Blinding Flash.
Searing Flames will put out more damage though.
As far as energy, Glowing Gaze, Fire Attunement, and Glyph of Lesser Energy should keep you well afloat if you play your cards right.

fluffy butt. your an idiot. not that i dont like air, but single target damage dosnt compare to AoE in PvE. and anyone who cant maintain their energy with an SF build clearly has brain damage.

Load yourself up with Radiant Insignias and Runes of Attunement, then caster weapons, and put Mind Blast on, rune of superior fire magic, and you'll never run out of energy so long as you cast Mind Blast as much as possible and don't drain your energy to the point that your target has more than you.
[skill]Mind Blast[/skill]
But there are many ways to manage energy, dual attunements being pretty popular... this is just my particular habit, I am not claiming it is the only way.

1) Lighting Hammer is from factions, my bad, I thought it was core.
2) I Never call people noobs, I was saying the "build" was noobish. Also he wanted a simple build to run. I find that build very difficult to use, even for me.
3) Sorry, I always think of HA with searing flames, I lost many fights because of searing flames, I don't see it as powerful as people say.
4) Its a good beginer build that you won't have to worry about health and energy.
5)Getting the skills is easy (Searing Flames is at the 6th or 7th mission) I wanted to give him a earily game good build.
6) Sorry if I insulted you in any way, I wanted to give a cheap, easy build.

I agree with you that the build is noobish, however it is one of the easiest builds to use and I believe that is what the OP was looking for.
SF is very easy to maintain energy.
step one
Maintain Fire Attunement at all times
step two
Use Glowing Gaze it's there for a reason.
step three
Don't let your energy go below half before using glyph of lesser energy
SF is also gettable quite easily - you're not required to do any mission after consulate docks to go skill hunting. Just hoof it over to Turai's Procession and follow the path to Gate of Desolation. Bingo! Skill found!
Also it is extremely powerful...especially with more than one in a group...I don't know if you've been to DOA yet but it's very popular to take a group with 3-4 SF Eles because of the insane damage output.
Side Note:
I personally wouldn't run dual attuned in NF because of all the enchantment hating monsters in NF (necro and mesmer enemies especially). MUST KILL DERVISH! ROAR!

Oh you get it at DoA, once again, my bad, I thought you could only get it at Dasha Vestibule the mission. Oh, its takes a while to reach DoA (If you just finished docks) 3k for a runner isn't bad.
It is strong, BUT finding 4 people that uses SF in PvE is hard and hard to run. (Needs to call targets plus people sometime (maybe mostly) people will just use heros
) I agree it is strong, but there is better things *My Opinion*Keep in mind, this guy is asking for a "build for ease" with Nightfall. I'm not sure where he is, or his money. I'm suggesting a easy, cheap build. SF is hard to PICK UP, but not to run.
Coloneh
its more powerful with heroes. and through most of nightfall you will be in a party with three heroes.

First, to set things straight...sorry you misunderstood me. You don't get SF from DOA..I was giving an example where it is used by many people to be extremely effective.
Second, I don't understand how you think SF is hard to get..it's right outside gate of desolation (in Turai's Procession)..pay 500 gold for a run from Sunspear Sanctuary..BOOM you're there! Cap Skill.
The rest of the build should be gettable from Kamadan skill trainer...not much money involved..

savanah heat isnt a bad elite to play around with once you get a little experienced either. throw in a snare and it doesnt some big time damage especially if your the only ele in the group otherwise i'd stick with the searing flames which is great with multiple fire eles working together. with a searing flames build i like to include immolate also.. seeing its a core skill you can get that too
