Guild Wars 2

In ranked/unranked PvP.

My only regret is ignoring the class for the longest time. I’m still inexperienced because I only play D/D cele in PvP atm. I don’t know how to play staff. And I don’t know how to play the class AT ALL in PVE.

The team support is amazing. I think it’s a well balanced class and hope it remains the way it is. Mesmers are a royal pain but I’m willing to cope.

mesmers are way better. faster play style

We have a convert! haha welcome to elementalist, man! It really is a ton of fun. I’ve tried all the classes at one point or another but I always find myself spending all my time on Elementalist. It is a fun class, indeed.

elementalist is pretty fun indeed, Im not the “mage” kinda of guy and usually just play warrior/rogue like characters in mmos.

But anet made a great class out of the ele.

Thanks guys. I have played a little bit of fresh air and d/d (back when you could stack boon duration from runes) but I like the game play much more now. Slowly becoming my fave class even though I’m still inexperienced.

You should try the celestial staff build. You will absolutely love it. Immensely powerful at surviving and support … and killing stuff if played well to stack some might and burning.

The only build that can really hurt you is the overpowered rampage warrior and only if you don’t time your dodges well. Otherwise, you will only die if focused by 2-3 other players with a good spike. 1v1 should be a piece of cake.

mesmers are way better. faster play style

When super kitten instant spike mesmers face a staff ele, they have to rely on reinforcements to kill it. Otherwise, the “slower play style” ele will kill them eventually.

How does the clelestial staff build look like? F/W/Ar ? So the standard cantrip ele ?

I run this Zerk/Cele build

yes this one is totally classical from trait picks. It´s good but i feel bored and unplesant with “meta” builds.
I like the gear modification. The food only supports static field. Is that worth taking it or would be something like omnombery pie better?

I pick that food due to:

Cheaper (almost 2s difference :P)
I hate stuns
Extra toughness for more Crit Damage

Omnom gives life-steal and precision, however since you will be casting most of the time (not sure about the difference tho, i hate math too) plus the classic cleansing wave, survival shouldn’t be too much of a concern. As for precision, you will be getting high uptime for Fury and 60% CritChance is I think enough.

I could be wrong, but this pretty much work for me. Should you have better options, I’m open to suggestions.

I like the build. Its just to classic in traits and cantrips for me and i prefer more precision.
I use arcane shield as stun breaker and if you hate stuns earth armor is the best tool :-).
