Guild Wars 2

I was in eb the other day and there was 3 of us defending, and a lone elementalist using a dual dagger weapons attacked us.

This elementalist was constantly spamming might/regeneration/swiftness/protection boons on himself. Although elementalists can give themselves these boons I don’t believe there is a single ability, or at least I couldn’t find one, that would give all 4 of them at the same time, and definitely not at the rate he was using them.

I presume he was therefore using an item that allowed him to gain these benefits. Anyone know what it is?

Nope, he was just a really good player. Ele’s can get all of these things with a certain trait setup and by switching elements a lot. I played a D&D ele, it is pretty awesome if you get good at the rotation. But basically, you get might from fire, Regen from water, Swiftness from electricity and Protection from Earth. SO if you are good at playing your Ele, and have the right setup of traits / runes (runes of divinity or traveler work good for boon duration as well as high stats, or runes of the scholar even) you can keep these boons up almost constantly and do pretty massive damage.

Go to the Elementalist forum and look up D&D build and you can see for yourself how it works. no item needed.

On top of that you can get swiftness and fury from auras, combined with boon durations food/runes and blast finishers, You can have a lot of boons extremely often.
