I wanted to make a build that’s very decent all around for PvE but also WvW. I tried to make a good balance between survivability and damage, using as many things as I know Eles have at their disposal. I would love comments and criticism however.

Pointers on how to minmax the balance of power and health, a proper level to keep vit and toughness on and so forth. Keep in mind I’d plan on having a third dagger for bloodlust and then superior fire or something on the main one. Oh, and lots of might.

Thanks

As a D/D ele personally I think you have to much crit chance. I think this becauseI know you can have perma fury and anything over 30% crit chance naturally is a waste. For your build I would change the zerker dagger for another PVT Dagger to keep the high power. I would also Change you Knight accessory to a Caviler one to keep the toughness but at Crit dmg, which is very important in a D/D build. Also changing your top and bottom from knight’s to PVT in your armor will add more power while keeping the defense. After the the changes you go down to a 33% crit chance which by it self without perma fury (which D/D Ele’s have) is good enough in it self.
But for your starting build it is overall very nice if it fits your play style.

Thanks for the feedback! This is not a starting build, it’s more that I’ve reached a point where I want to maximize what I can get from the ascended gear I’ll get and such. Below is the revised build with your suggestions to equipment changes and some changes to the food as well. Seems more survivable now, and with much higher power, at the expense of some crit chance ofc.
