Guild Wars 2

So,since i started playing GW2 Elementalist i wanted to get dungeon armour sets for my 1.dps,2.healing and 3.magic find

I wanted to start with magic find so i get better drops,and the only dungeon I could find magic find armour is Crucible of Ethernity

However,i didn’t check armour stats beside magic find,but seems like these have condition dmg instead of precision

I am using Elementalist,staff build which is most common and I am wondering if i should buy regular magic find armour from tradepost and transmute some of items into precision instead,keeping unique CoE dungeon skins,because I don’t really see conditional dmg doing as much as precision on Staff spells.Now that would coast alot,but its still an option.However if i go precision i don’t have crit % stats on any magic find armours in game,still I do get precision from jewlery i have on,increasing my critical chance,but not critical % dmg overall

Scenario where I could see an Elementalist in PvE having stronger output in conditional dmg is with Scepter and Focus,perhaps even Daggers

Shall I keep conditional dmg statistics on my elementalist CoE gear,while using staff,OR shall I transmute into precision no matter how much it coasts for unique CoE looks?

(… Otherwords,how do you feel about Elementalist using Staff and having Conditional dmg instead of Precision?)

I think precision is our most important stat so maybe you should go with crafted magic find gear. I wouldn’t recommend it though.
I use ormnoberry bars on my ele for better drops.
If you want a toon to farm with roll a warrior or gaurdian.
Always switch attunements when your most important spells in that auttunement is on cool down.
I like the sigil of battle for my weapons to stack might.
I had 12 might in AC tonight.
I use a glass cannon build with knights gear so I’m not as squishy.

I do have precision/critical % full exotic gear,and i am looking for another gear with healing power,however I wanted magic find gear that would be from some sort of dungeon,not one u can simply buy from trade post

The only reason behind me making this thread is there is only one magic find gear u can aquire from dungeons,it is CoE,and it doesn’t have precision stat but condition dmg instead… I am alredy on path to aquiring full gear since i have only 1 piece left

I want to know if in future i should consider transmuting it to get precision out of it instead of condition dmg,considering i have full magic find exotic jewlery WITH precision alredy,however it does not supply critical %,and is it really a big difference dmg wise,using Staff,to roll 6 pieces of armour with Precision (gives u around 10 more percent) instead of condition.

Note that there is Flameburst spell in fire magic around 7 seconds cooldown,and Eruption in earth magic aswell,6 seconds cooldown along with Shockwave

Thing I am concerned about is if Scepter,Focus or Daggers become popular for dungeons at some point of game in future(Maybe they still are but im not informed about it)

I went the toughness route on my gear for my ele, and have not regretted it. Chest and legs get that stat — and at level 80 exotic you can pick between toughness that heals or toughness that nukes. It takes me a bit longer to down a mob, but I very rarely die. The rest of my gear is evenly spread out on the rest of the stats — precision, crit, condition damage. As the Kodan say: balance

I also run scepter/focus solo, and staff in groups.

Mind you, my build is for soloing pve content … I’m not big on dungeons, I’ll do them, but I prefer pottering around on my own out in Tyria. Regardless, for all the complaints about ele’s, I’ve never had issues and it’s my favourite class to play.
