About playing staff ele
Yes, it’s always worth to bring an ele. In nearly every dungeon there are opportunities for FGS/Ice Bow and ele has very high DPS. I think that in a party with no eles a might stacking LH would be more useful, but I’d still take a staff ele over no ele.
DPS elementalists are always wanted though honestly, i almost only play mine for the FGS most of the time, or if i’m running in an organized (guild) group for all of the might, deeps and fiery exploit swording.

Yes.
I put my staff ele for AC(staff is also… more…PuG…safe…). In AC your will be most of the time in conjure weapons mode. So stack your migh and FG/IceBow to win.
if, and I mean “if”, I read Guang correctly.
There is no correct way to read Guang.

Ok, thanks. I wont be ashamed anymore and you’ll see my ele in dungeons (pugs) more regularly as of today.

Exactly. Case in point: Guang goes 30/10/10/10/10. Which is wrong. 30/20/10/10/0 is higher DPS in almost all sections of every dungeon. Not just with staff, but also with conjures.

I’ve said it before, 0/0/0/0/0 is really the new meta for elementalist. With tornado elite. Anything else and you’re exploiting because elementalist traits are blatant bugs, same with ele conjures, and pet summons.
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?
Our blood has bought their lives.
And then there’s me, using 30/30/10/0/0.
I must be playing a bad build in all your opinions.
Game over, yo.

That’s actually the most versatile build. You can easily switch to LH s/x or d/f with those traits.

Oh sorry, I’m not playing as the devs intended…. Mines an Asura.
Plus, I only use offhand weapons. And only focus. Doing damage is an exploit.

No ele’s in that video though… someone should do an all ele no mh/oh conjures only dungeon run and youtube it.
That’s a neat idea ^^

I’ve played ele since gw2 release & the 1st weapon I learned was staff- I only ever used staff, thought there was nothing better- it took me awhile to finally realize staff isn’t necessary for every situation- just know that. I now only use staff in Arah if we have a new group facing Lupi. It is very pug safe! Nothing wrong with a staff ele though
