Guild Wars 2

Title says it all, I have only played D/D in all the PVE content but I am having a lot of trouble using it LS2, particularly the trouble in Selma chapter. Do you use a different weapon set? Any advice would be great, thanks!

I think you should always be prepared to swap weapons out. I’m mainly a staff ele, but I carry a dagger, a focus, and a scepter at all times. Never know when one of those sets will work better than another. And I found staff to be super useful during Mordremoth content as it can safely burn down those jungle tendrils while keeping you mobile.

You should always keep a staff in your bag. Some fights just go much easier ranged.

I’m not very far in LS 2 on my Ele, so I’m not sure I’ve made it to Selma yet.

Did all chapter of LS2 with all classes
Ele is fine granted you use a staff. There are some fight where you don’t want to mele things. You just need enough dps.

I’ve found that on Ele, most of the Mordremoth related content is easier on a staff. D/D means you have to stay in close to the enemy, and many minions have charges, AoE swipes, etc.

Staff allows you to range your target, is focused on AoE which is necessary given enemy density usually, and has mobility and plenty of CC. Throw down an Unsteady Ground with Lightning Rod traited and watch the fireworks lol.

I’ve also found that using Arcane Shield, along with Glyph of Storms and both Elemental glyphs helps with aggro and gives you lots of options like the Earth Blind on GoS, and the various on-demand Elemental utilities.

But I’ve relatively easily cleared most of the LS2 along with the achievement runs with the above build with a 6/6/0/0/2 spec, switching between Blasting Staff and Renewing Stamina.

Mordrem are much more difficult to fight as d/d. Staff is the way to go. They just smash melee and have A LOT of health.
