Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if my ele can be an effective commander in WvW the same as the gardians?
If the ele can play that roll, can some one please help me with the atrait, runes, weapons, sigils?
i am open for any suggestions
Thanks for your time

its a bit harder to do because usually what the commander plays on is the overall mindset of the group. Expect to be doing alot of kiting. Its possible to do for sure, but it a bit harder to control the frontline unless you get a driver while you command.

Is it as effective as gardian?
If the answer is “Yes”
Can you please share the trait line +weapon set, runes , sigiles ?!
That would help a lot
thanks for your time

it was before stabageddon cause DD ele had a reliable stability with rock solid. But you had to know the gardian cds very well (empower en group stability) in order to don’t ask your raid to follow you when they can’t (cause stability on cd)

Now you just can’t, unless you play full ranged pirateship

yep full ranged pirate ship is most likely how you will need to play. If that is the case shoot for a build like this.

Thanks for sharing your build with us
For sure it will be hard to survive with zerk gear i was looking for something that makes me live in the front line and i think this build is not the way to go for commanding with all respect maybe if we change air to earth for prot

Usually commander is expected to lead everyone else during a fight, forget about frontline with zerker ele.

You could try tanky healing build that has pretty decent survivability but imo, I think guardian is still way better in this. Mainly because tanky healing ele can well support others but the heals are not as high for the ele him/herself and it’s weak against high burst.

Ele can make it work as a commander but it does take a lot of effort and has its limitations in comparison to guard/warrior.

I’ve seen lots of successful zerker ele commanders on maguuma.
