Hey guys,

I’ve heard a lot of people ask or talk about a condition build for elementalist. This build is a competetive build to the tempest staff build with a maintained DPS close to 22k and performs even better in fights against high-armored enemies (high level fractals).

Got a gw2skills editor build? Not everyone is able/willing to access YouTube.

Also, how much DPS does an Engineer do based on your calculation method?

As for compared DPS to the condition engineer, I don’t know. Haven’t ran real scenario dps on the engineer with quickness+alacrity. My gut says engineer is better though.

Highly doubt Ele will beat Engi for Condi DPS. But the Ele spec looks pretty cool regardless.

Doesn’t have to beat, just needs to be somewhat close. Elementalist has other ways to compensate for the difference in DPS if it is close – like within 20% difference.

Why offhand Focus? Offhand Dagger would give you Ring of Fire and Fire Grab. Fire Grab may not be condi, but Sinister gives you pretty good Burst as well.

Bountiful Power over Evasive Arcana might be better in a group – Might is the responsibility of Warriors and Revenants.

/F because flamewall gives the most burns —> most damage.
Evasive arcana is not for might, it’s for the flame burst skill to maintain 4 additional burns.

I see. Ring of Fire only applies once if the target is not moving, while Flamewall applies about 10 times to anything standing in the flames.

Would Flame Burst from Evasive Arcana really add more damage than Bountiful Power? I would think the ability makes up a rather minor portion of your overall damage.

Good for fractals, bad for anything Hot (hot mobs move too much)

Don’t call anyone out on their BS, that’s an infraction and a deleted post. —Anet.

Bountiful Power adds no condition damage.

Have you tried Sceptre and Warhorn? Dragon’s Tooth and Wildfire?

Cooldown on Wildfire is probably too long.

Scepter and warhorn are both crap, and also dagger main hand has drake’s breath which is pretty huge for a condi build

Very nearly the same condi build I run with. A few differences, but a strong solid build regardless.

I’ve also taken it into HoT and yes it does work. The mobs tend to move quite a bit, but they can be anticipated with enough practice.

For the Toast!
