This mostly just focuses on the two and three
More damage more livabaility
For elemental ward i try to stay on electricty for the majority for the 35.5X damage multiplier but will swap to cold if im getting my butt kicked in a bit too much and fire for healing up (rotate through the abailitys using your 1)

You can replace the 4 with whatever
ive been experementing with parasitic armor and it seems to hold out well
could also use iether condem or entrap for a CC for acolytes
