power engineer or d/d ele
solo engi is slightly easier than d/d ele. however a super duper skilled ele will out do more people than a super duper skilled engi because of the higher skill cap. however in a small team dd ele for the win no contest
Hi there friend!!!!
Personally I have had a lot of fun on s/d ele (fresh air)
I have played both classes but the thing that makes ele so fun for me is that there are multiple burst combinations at your disposal so you’re opening attack to your closing attack will always be different in every fight…
But an answer to your question would be: Ele, again… An ele in my opinion is always needed in small group roaming ith atleast 4 points in water and arcana, the condi removal/boons is always welcome and the GWEN meta is still stupidly strong atm (guard/war/ele/necro = GWEN)
….. And Elementalist.
I don’t see many d/d eles in WvW. Staff is strongly encouraged by most commanders in my experience. I haven’t had much success with my zerker d/d ele in WvW. She can kill anything in PvE, she can 1v1, but I have not figured out how to use that short range glass cannon effectively against a group of 10+.
Cele D/D eles is waaaay easier than power engie, but d/d is better for both solo & roaming, easier to hit, support & run compared to engie.
cool. we don’t see much of that in my neighborhood but sounds like it could be fun if you can stay out of the way of the four man full ascended funny guys heading past your keep.\

Agreed. This newish ele build borders on abusive to those that run into a well played one.
“Youre lips are movin and youre complaining about something thats wingeing.”
dnd ele is way better.
I tried running d/d zerk ele (full zerk / 0-0-4-4-6)but it’s rather hard when you’re soloing… especially when facing heavy damage specs, the elementalist will go down in seconds, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I found it to be the same until I did fresh air s/d, such a fun class to play, so many little bonuses to the scepter eg: stomping a guardian I will swap to electric and use blinding bolt as it won’t affect stomp animations

DnD ele, throw in cele and have fun
in WvW? are you sure? I am interested. I play ele a lot, and I just can’t see that working.
It get’s really hot at 600-900 in a fight. Only so much a d/d ele can do to clear condi and heal. Staff ele with 1200 can do quite a bit, and run away like a … with all the stacks.

With stacks, a proper build , you could get a dnd ele with 3000power, 3150armour,22kvit,perma protection, cantrips and the awesome joy of
condi cleansing , finishers,heals,aoe,etc. Its really fun. But it wont be a full cele build.
Staff is preferred though. Just the DnD can go any style. Chnage your gear and become 1v1 killer. Or a havoc mate or a frontline pusher. Note, the staff can 1v1 but you really have to be really good and the enemy bad. But thats what fgs is for as well if you caught on your staff in a 1v1 situation.
