Guild Wars 2

Just getting back to GW2. Quit FFXIV because all that game is about is grinding but I digress. I have yet to do a single dungeon. I plan on doing content outside of PvP because that’s all I’ve been doing. I want to do some PvE content but don’t feel like my ele is ready. I would also like to mention that I’m using a staff and don’t intend on changing it because I enjoy it. That being said I I have a few questions.

1. I don’t have much gold so what is another way of getting good gear for PvE? Any PvP tracks I could do?

2. What is a good PvE Staff build for Ele?

3. Does anyone do dungeons anymore?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!

Dungeons are still thriving. People do them all the time.

Aside from gold, you can get gear either through doing dungeons, WvW badges or one of the dungeon reward tracks in PvP. The current meta is Berserker armor. I recommend doing the Citadel of Flame, Crucible of Eternity, or Arah dungeon reward tracks for Berserker armor if you want to get it through a pvp reward track (as those are the dungeons that have that stat line) you can also run those dungeons for the armor too.

Here is a link for the current meta build for staff ele:
