Guild Wars 2

Dear, Elementalists

I don’t know much about Elementalists and their build but I do have knowledge of Conditions since I main a Condi Nerco. I was wondering is it possible and is it effective to build a Condition/healing Elementalist.

it is very effective

It is doable, but your pool of conditions to use is pretty small
You have:
Bleed
Burn
Cripple
Immobilize
Chill
Weakness
Vulnerability

Bleeds are generally exclusive to earth and burns are exclusive to fire

I slapped this together, using the gear from a Necromancer Build I was looking at. Don’t take it too seriously, but this is what you can do with condis on ele

I’m not sure how to make it extremely heal heavy and high condi damage at the same time. Somebody might be able to help. Keep in mind that you’ll have to use Celestial, because Apothecary doesn’t boost Vitality, and every Ele needs Vitality.

first thing, is it for wvw or pve? cos these are two very different things

Its purely a PvE build. In theory to build as healing support and peeling during events and dungeons. To some degree the gear I see that might given good on both fronts is mestiral with trailblazer but that might not work

pve condi ele is good
apothecary’s if you want healing support

any enemy standing in your fire fields (burning speed and flame wall) will take tons of damage. burning speed is especially good on large targets, as it generates multiple fire fields

killing random enemies solo in open world I get 4-6k sustained burning ticks with my apothecary’s/shaman’s non-tempest ele build. hit 9k ticks with burning speed up on big targets. also fairly tanky and heals a lot. AoE heal for 6k every 10-15 seconds, with 470-700 heal per second in between. I haven’t played tempest as much yet, but it is stronger

apparently you can get 20k burning ticks with alacrity and quickness and other party buffs and a fully damage focused build
