Engineer or Elementalist
well all three of those are classes that require alot of apm (actions per minute). I’d say you could widen your gaze and try other professions as well.
Why not try sylvari or a small asura engineer? I use a simple rifle barbarian build on my engineer with runes of the wurm. 29k hp and still do decent damage. you do most certainly lack toughness though so I switched it up with a turret build and the toolkit for dmg and rifle for chasing.
This is all in pvp ofcourse, I also main elementalist and am having lots of fun with the D/F GoEP spellslinger celestial build (40226).
Ya, I’ve actually been playing around with a condi (blinding ash) build with D/F. I just love mobility, so I have a hard time committing to the build, although if people try to fight me 1v1 its very strong.
There is definitely some variance among ele builds. It kept me entertained for almost a year now, but I feel like I cant make a build really work with elemental weapons or glyphs, and not a big fan of all signet builds. What that leaves me is very few skills to slot. I guess I’m a little sad my signet of earth, Fiery Greatsword, rush into lightning flash is gone. It was fun to one shot people too clueless to see it coming, or those out of any condi removal. It feels like there is a certain rhythm to each ele spec, once you have it, its like playing out the same thing over and over. I actually felt the same about my thief before I switched to Ele. It was super fun, but once I got the rhythm of the spec down, it was more like watching a movie…lol My Burst ele spec is a little different, cause I got some moments in spvp mostly (and a few in wvw), where I kill a whole group in a few seconds and laugh. I still like the elementalist, but aside from switching between my 4 specs, I don’t get many surprises anymore.
I remember with my engi (although maybe is was cause I was a newb back then) I would pick a few skills and make my whole build around it, and with a lot of tweaking I could get it to work. I had slickshoes burst builds, 3 kit (bomb/grenade/EG) or (bomb/EG/toolkit), various S/D builds (rifle turrent//utility goggles/rocket boots/grenades/toolkit/battering ram, and probably some I don’t remember now), Elixir specs, and now I see all sorts of turret specs. A lot of variety. It was also fun/cheap to be a rifle engi in jumping puzzles.
Almost everyday I logged on, I changed builds. But I always looked like crap… If they would change hobosacks I would switch back very quickly. lol
About race, I think sylvari is cool, but when leveling them, I found I couldn’t relate to waking up from the dream as interesting as it sounded. And all my asurans have gotten on my nerves with how full of themselves they are. Norns are heavy drinkers and I don’t really like drinking much in real life, so it clashes with me again. I loved Charr for a while, but just preferred human. (I also RP a little, and I think my human characters RPing about hating the charr has rubbed off on me lol)

try the aoe spam staff support build.
glyph of storms in air, frost bow aoe, FGS aoe, Meteor shower, not sure what the final slot would be though…
