Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

I have a level 40 Elementalist at the moment and I’m really having fun playing with the absolutely huge arsenal of abilities that is available to us.
Although, I seem to have quite a big problem taking more than a few hits from mobs that are my level or in PvP which is really disappointing.

It might be just me specing into the wrong traits(currently have 10 points in Fire, 10 points in Air and 10 points in Water) or picking the wrong utility skill set(rolling with Mist Form, Glyph of Storms which gives great dot aoe damage and defense if used with earth attunment, Frost Bow for the extra CC and great AoE damage with Ice Storm and Glyph of Elementals for Elite) or maybe just the class isn’t all that balanced.

Would be great to hear your feedback!

Thanks

The elementalist is actually quite weak atm, they need a buff

Well, a couple of things:

Are you having trouble killing things? Your selection of skills is good for doing murder on your enemies (at least in PvE—you should get more active survivability like Rock Armor in PvP), and your traits make sense.

If you’re only having trouble staying alive, I’d recommend that you get more vitality and toughness gear. The Elementalist profession has the lowest armor (shared with Mesmer and Necromancer) and the lowest health (shared with Thief and Guardian), so it’s by nature the most fragile profession. What weapons are you using? How often are you dodging? Do you use crowd control to keep enemies away from you?
