Hi there,
I like to play with my ele again, but what kind of build is very effective against the destroyers, because of their inmunnity for burning, so SF doesn't work well....
Earth, air, water, fire (alternative build from SF).... pls if you have some advise, post it here.
tnx.

air magic + alkars alchemical acid is nice :P

Yes, it takes a small mental adjustment to switch from a pure damage dealer to a primarily defensive character. While I cannot check the already posted template right now, I would personally bring something like:
E/Me Air Conditioner
14 (12+1+1) Air Magic
11 (10+1) Energy Storage
9 (8+1) Earth Magic
Alkar's Alchemic Acid (only against Destroyers, otherwise take Shell Shock)
Blinding Surge
Enervating Charge
Epidemic
Ward Against Melee
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Air Attunement
Resurrection Signet
and let the high DPS characters do the hard work

It's a water spiker build. Pretty good dps and slows down destroyers like mad.

12+1+3 water
12+1 energy storage
This pwns them pretty well if you're in the mood for water spiking
destroyer are 80% resistant to fire and are immune to burning so if you only have fire you need someone in the party to have [skill]winter[/skill]
they are also 50% earth resistant so if you're going earth only splash 8 attrib points for defense wards

What a coincidence, I just wanted to start a thread about a build I just made because I felt elemental magic in general wasnt effective against the detsroyers, even with cracked armour which I infliced on them via [skill]shell shock[/skill] , which is a great skill in its own right.
Anyway, I came up with this build to use in my H/H group
Illusion magic 12, rest in Energy Storage
[skill]conjure nightmare[/skill][skill]conjure phantasm[/skill][skill]images of remorse[/skill][skill]accumulated pain[/skill][skill]clumsiness[/skill][skill]ether prism[/skill][skill]aura of restoration[/skill][skill]resurrection signet[/skill]
the template code is : OgVCEMzzW7DM44grgwKtAjD
Once your energy drops to about 60 use [skill]ether prism[/skill] to return to full energy. Skills have low recharge so you can spam them to your heart's content.
If someone had suggested it sometime, my apologies.

Either run:
-A Mind Blaster powering out Blinds, Wards and PvE Skills
-A Blindbot with B.Surge that can apply Blind and weakness on demand, as well as cracked armor (AAA, Shell shock)
-A Water Elementalist with Blurred Vision, possibly some snares. As for elite take your pick of Shatterstone or Ward Against Harm.

Destroyers have HEV and Shatter Hex, but no Monks. Conditions are a whole lot better than hexes against them.
Think Air with BSurge, Enervating, and Shell Shock if it's a character new to EotN; if you've worked your titles up, consider an energy elite to power your PvE skills. That's about as good as you're going to do, Elementalists suck against Destroyers.

At some point, excessive hexing will just overpower what hex removal they have available. I also don't remember any Mesmers in that mission, although I could be wrong.
Hexes will still negate and cause more damage than your party will (Hopefully) be taking from Hex Eater Vorter or Shatter Hex.

What about an Ele that uses Rit channel spike skills like spirit rift & Ancestors' Rage? The dmg out of them are still 113 & 110 
If Mesmers can use Eles for their "fast casting hokus pokus" so can we take other classes.

[skill]Splinter Weapon[/skill] is unbeatable damage wise in PvE.

Splinter weapon is situational damage. It depends on who and when and where it's used to deal damage. Obviously a human rit will be tryng to put Splinter Weapon on a target that has the highest chance of triggerring the AoE as much as possible. Under ideal circumstances Splinter Weapon can be extremely powerful, but then again to say it's unbeatable damage clearly depends on the situation.

I have just been doing O Brave New world on my ele, and I decided to test a water build to fight the destroyers, it worked really well.
To counter Destroyer of Thought removing Blurred Vision from Destroyers of Flesh/Bones/Deeds I started by casting Maelstorm on it
Here is a screenshot:
