The Campfire is not an area for general discussion. It's the builds forum. And that's the only thing that belongs here. It is intended as a place where people can share and discuss, critique and improve, their builds. It is not a place for people to help you put together your own character. We're not going to be standing behind you and flailing away at the keyboard, why would you want us to come up with your strategy for you? What's best is what works for you and not for us. So come up with your own ideas or leave this board alone.
If you want to talk about the generalities of this profession or that combination or whether Fire Elementalists are a disadvantage compared to Earth Elementalists then we have the Gladiator's Arena for that sort of thread. If you want to talk about plans or need some guidance then the Strategy board is the one for you.
If you're looking for examples about a particular build or plan then look through our Builds Directory. If you can't find what you're looking through there, there's a stickied thread for each and every profession in this forum. Chances are they have the start of what you're looking for there and if they don't, feel free to post and request an example of an unrepresented as-of-yet build.
Otherwise, if your thread isn't tlaking about specific skills, attributes, and the rest then it's not a build and it doesn't belong in this forum.
