Since Anet hammernerfed zerker by reducing % dmg output, I got pretty frustrated with my former ele build, so now I got new one based on building up might stacks and I literally reached same dmg outputs that I had before + this way I was actually able to put some stats in vitality/toughness since I don’t rely that much on presision and ferocity with this build.

Now I’m going to craft Ascended staff and I’m curious, is there any sense in creating some other staff than Zojja’s Spire or should I just choose staff with main power attribute along with vit/tgh?… Secondary stats are still pretty significant so I think maybe 134 pre/fer will give me some edge?

the only thing i can contribute to this is If you are considering ptv.. you may actually want to craft a Tonn weapon, which is ptV.. my reasoning is simply that weapons are the only equipment that offer ascended sentinel stats.. again, that is only If you were looking to inject some vitality into your build.. as apposed to whatever else

I was considering that staff, but the only thing that stopped me was lack of power, since I need this stat as high as I can. I’m currently choosing between Zojja’s Spire and Chorben’s Spire. Dunno which is gonna be best choice since I craft this staff only once and was grinding for months to get mats…

I went with Wupwup for my Staff ele. If you can only craft one staff, why not let it work with either Heal, Zerker, or CondiPower and letting you adapt easily obtainable trinkets for WvW, Fractal, or open world builds?

Kay, the Staff only costs like 50-60gp maybe and some karma of course. If you’re going straightly for the matts out of the tp.

Hmm..Yeah, i dunno it really depends. For open World as for world bosses it doesn’t matter either staff is good you won’t be doing crits on the world bosses. PvE depends on your style of playing. For Fractals really in higher level fractals you’re going a full Staff setup? Okay, wouldn’t be my first choice. But still Assasin or Berseker make the best overall damage. And i doubt it will change with the September patch, i might have to go for a mixed armorset because of the lack of mobility but still glass canon builds are all about power / precision / ferocity.
