Guild Wars 2

Here’s the Metabattle I made:

Basically its purpose is to stack various cover condis (a.k.a. setup) similar to necro and then to stack burns and bleeds quickly. You could use Gale to knock the enemy down and then quickly use Flame Wall and Glyph of Elemental Power fire + autoattack. I prefer Rune of the Tempest since it has a bit more sustain as well as being able to unload more condi types because of a slightly longer duration, but Rune of Balthazar is a good choice that promotes quicker play and people who are really good at shuffling through attunements.

I’ve had good fare with the build, although in Ranked you need to use it properly (+1’ing often). Season’s at its end so you can test it in Unranked or hotjoin etc. It’s my favorite condi build because of its playstyle and all the underestimation from when people see the build.

Here’s the Gw2skills link so you get a quick look at what skills, utilities, and traits deal what condis there are:

In my opinion torment and doom are a must, because you can’t get them anywhere else AND they are excellent covers (especially torment). They’re weak but they cover up the big deal (burn + bleed) very well…

Full instructions, tips can be found on Metabattle, enjoy!

Your Condi works in PvE maybee and in WvW with another build but in PvP elementalist is dead when players see a elementalist in theyr party they just log out. In last time Elementalist got so much nerf that at the moment is good only in PvE Raids and thas because of damage….in WvW is good as tank Heal bot and CC.
Diamond Skin was the trait that when they change it Ele died with it……in WvW for roaming in PvP totaly in PvE they made a bit of changes after many complain about his damage.

You’d be surprised. I thought I’d die quickly too but because overloads give protection and swiftness you’re a lot more bunkery. Protection + Signet of Restoration = decent sustain.

always were unease if signet of restoration pays off at the moment and didn´t try … maybe i should.
But why do so many use Balthasar rune …
also rune of the forge might be an option for more defecne and burn adition but lacks condi stat.

Why water? If you do such a build you want damage. Sustain in my version is still there.
The only missing thing is the teleport. If it´s so mandatory add it.

It stacks might faster. Overloads are an add on. IT can do a condi bomb with cleansing flame. If you don´t need the additonal cleanse use glyph for more condies or lighning flash. I got used to the flame. You have regen from water swap and trident (I used healign glyph too) You mitigate damage with weakness and don´t try to heal up. Weakness does more then regen from auras it´s less reliable due to cleansing possibility. I have fast kills with similar setups and this has condi diversity.
Rune of the sunless or healing glyph with scavenging rune are both good.

Sunless version with heavy damage.
