hello all ^^
i have GW2 for some time

and try every class
but am rely in love with the scholar classes
necro
ele
mesmer

but the point is they are weak in pve less dps
you need to run alot dodge alot to keep your self alive

compare to warrior guardian ranger they do much more damege in less time with out moving that much

but ad the mist scholars are very good mesmer is rely a powerhouse in pvp
then i think why good in pvp but bad in pve ??

am more a pve players and love to explore every part of the world
but its so dam hard to stay alive

even your Personal story mode what a hell that is
if you just 1 ore 2 lvl below they recommen pretty sad but ok

even if your higher then they recommen its stil a pain

so i wanne ask
1 of the 3 scholar classes is good ad pve and dont need to move dodge around so much

and what is best build to start with
also good vs groeps
like sample 5 tamini go after you 2 are rangers

most i have alot of trouble kill them becouse rangers alway hit you
and most of the time you fight more mobs in this game

bandits also are in groeps rely a pain to fight so many

so if any plz can give me some advice i be very happy ^^

sorry for my bad english

Ele has great dps potential (fire), its also the best “tank” style class in the game, if you trait it right (tou/vit)

I’ve found necro to be quite surviveable, it has a large healthpool and also a second healthbar if you use your f1 death shroud as such

when against melee mobs: kite, dodge their cc
when against ranged mobs: use reflects, dodge their attacks(if applicable), inflict weakness, crowd control them, inflict blindness, strafe back and forth in place for mobs with slower projectiles to make them all miss to your sides

First off all, you are describing the same problem I had when I was playing my ele. There are a few things to consider.

1: AoE vs single target. Although AoE is very nice to damage a large group at the same time, it isn’t always the best one. Considering switching to single target damage and specially condition damage.. Each member of a mob is dealing damage. so lets say there are 10 foes, each dealing one damage/sec. so if you use AoE damage to kill them all off at the same time, you get 10 damage/sec during the whole fight. However, if you kill half of them with single target skills you reduce it to 5 damage/sec.

Another consideration is how to trait. a defensive traiting is a great way for getting the job done.

I also had issues when starting out as an elementalist. What build and weapons do you run? And what utility skills do you have? Those can have a major impact on whether you survive or not. If you haven’t, consider slotting in some cantrips- they will save your life many times. Armor in Earth reduces damage and makes you immune to control effects, which helps greatly against ranged mobs with knockback. Cleansing Flame is vital against condition-inflicting mobs. Lightning Flash can be used to close gaps or escape.
