Guild Wars 2

Hey I currently have a level 68 Ele that ive been working on with a D/D build. However after the patch as many have stated it has been nerfed. So my question is what do you feel is the best build now for the ele after the patch. Trait distribution, runes, sigil, and weapons? I mainly play WvE right now however I am also wanting to play WvW as well. Im not that interested in PvP but I do plan on getting into it some in the future. I would love to start doing dungeons when I reach level 80 as well. Also I am not apposed to changing to a different type of weapon all together if serves better than D/D now.

That’s what was actually good about the patch. there is no best build anymore. Everyone was using the exact same build save a few of us who were bored with it, but now we actually have a ton of viable options. People have posted several builds already on here. I’d suggest you just go to the mists where it’s free to change your traits around and test all of them to see what you like best. Its not the same as regular pve since everyone’s stats are balanced out there and crit and healing are a lot less. There’s a limit to how high you can pump things in spvp, but it will give you a general idea. Just test stuff out on the practice golems to get a general feel of each build.

It depends on what you want to do, because as of this patch, there is no more “best” build.

The build in my sig works quite fine and basically summarizes the old meta, pre-patch. It’s still very strong and I suggest it if you want to get used to playing an Ele.

I think S/D or lightning hammer is the obvious choice for PVE.

Staff for WvW.

I want to bunker staff Ele again. Is this viable?

Now even more, due to faster cast-time and ability to move while using water#5.
