Guild Wars 2

Hi follow players,

I’m trying to reach 150 AR (+15 potion included) to be able to play high level fractals (85-100).

I use my Elementalist/Tempest for Fractals as it already has Full Ascended (Zerk) trinkets and has 3/6 Ascended (Celestial) armor pieces which I received from Fractal drops.

I’m gonna purchase additional Ascended armor pieces to complete the 150 AR and currently contemplating on which Stat to buy.

Would you recommend completing the Celestial armor pieces for this (for all around Ele like healing, condition, toughness and vit) or build a different armor and just focus on specific stats (like Zerk) since it’s easy to die anyway in high level and most groups look for Zerk stats.

Cheers,

Don

Zerk.. If you really need to grab extra defence, keep some toughness/vit food on standby. Much cheaper and easier to change which food you have active.. without cutting your own hamstring.

you would be most effective dmg wise if you go for zerk you can always change the stats of your celestial amor to zerk or change it back but usally zerker is the goto fpr tempests i can understand the celestial tho because you want to be durable but thats why most groups look for a healers in t4 and only competitive healing spec atm is druid. I’d suggest you find some ppl to play with tho so they can be on comms with you and overall having a smoother run zerk tempsts in pugs is quite wierd not weak but meh and healing tempest i havent seen 1

As others said, zerk is usually what people want you on.

If you need more survivability take 5 stacks of the mobility potions for 50% more endurance recharge or use the food that enhances your endurance regen. Dodging > being hit. Other options can be bringing lightening flash, mist form or arcane shield for getting out of tricky spots you end up in while learning.

Also using dagger/ focus fresh air gives an invulnerability and 3 condition cleanse in earth as well as ranged CC and an evade on burning speed which is handy.

It’s also OK to let the heavies take the hits for you ;-)

Thanks guys. Zerk it is then

Just so you know, expect to go down a lot while getting used to how squishy you are. Casting glyph of storms in earth blinds mobs in the AoE and is great for not getting hit, you also want to make sure you are playing with other zerk players or close to zerk otherwise everything will aggro on you but won’t die fast enough.
