Guild Wars 2

Hello guys! As the tittle says, I took a 6 months break from Gw2, so today when I came back I was totally lost. I heard there were significant changes about Eles after I left thought.

I’m here to ask you for some help about d/d ele and WvW builds. What is the new meta? What are eles going for?
What’s your favorite build for roaming and why?

It’s really important to know your opinion about this, I know people have different play style, but I can work on mine when I get to know what is going on for Eles atm

I wanna work on my ascended armor but first I wanna make sure I choose the perfect build lol

Thank you all.

Welcome back. There’s no such thing as perfect build. This is the mentality many players take and then later they come back to complain in the forums. All builds/playstyle across all the professions have their strengths and weaknesses. Each build have separate roles you want in WvW. Please state your playstyle within WvW.

Daphoenix and its relevant builds are still the most popular with d/d roaming. There are many others outside these standards but they require a separate set of playstyle. This is why asking how you like to play your ele is very important to recommend builds.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned playstyle. By ’’perfect’’, I meant the build that would fit my needs. :P I’d like to know what people are running, so I can find a build myself

I enjoy WvW roaming. Me and my friend (thief) used to 2vs small groups. (Best Gw2 memories lol)

Ele’s been always my one and only class.
I was never a big fan of glass cannon builds thought which a lot people seem to be running lately O.o
