Guild Wars 2

As an Elementalist I’ve gotten pretty good with the D/D, but when I try to deviate I find I either have not enough survivability, or not enough damage. My D/D survivability comes from disables, good heals, and plain just running around like a chicken with its’ head cut off. The other weapons don’t have that feel for me. So when it comes to 1v1, is the dagger THE choice I’m pretty much gonna be stuck with. I get that the scepter can take out some classes, but with me D/D can take out any class, can the other weapons offer me the same thing?

I used to play D/D 0 0 10 30 30 at around release. Then switched to 0 10 0 30 30 for a bit, then moved to my 0 15 0 25 30 build zerker and doom sigil. That build could defeat D/D bunkers. Then I went to auras and S/F, could still beat D/Ds. Then the versatility patch came and now everything feels off. I can take on some of the builds eles have trouble with (engineer bomb / grenade condition – tie, neckro condition – easy). Though skill have trouble with a few of the FOTM builds.

S/D Fresh air seemed strong, though it was do or die, being so frail thakittens not funny.

D/D is absolutely terrible for 1v1 right now. If you’re good enough, you can kind of make it work against other mediocre builds, but it is in no way competitive with the currently popular builds. If you want to 1v1, go S/D and do OK, or even better, play a different class.

Yep, best bet for ele’s to win is to reroll.
