Just rolled an ele & mesmer to lvl 10 and I feel like the ele will offer the more dynamic, enjoyable play style. I’m coming from an Engineer main. So…

I see a lot of D/D threads, but don’t know if that’s end-game exclusive or good for PvE leveling too. What weapon(s) tend to work best for leveling? Which traitlines support leveling? Seems strange to attunement swap so freely but be pigeonholed into attunement-specific traitlines. Any must-have traits at low levels? Should I stack healing power over vit & tough due to all the water attunement healing and the signet?

D/D are good for leveling due to AoE nature of the weapon…
And terribad for most dungeons/bosses.

Possibly every single player that uses D/D switch to something other at challenging bosses.

30 arcane are the most useful following by some water to boost vitality and healing.

GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.
