So I’ve seen a lot of D/D elementalists here on the forums and I haven’t really tried it out much myself.

So I’m wondering if you guys could share your builds and give me some advice on it as I’d like to try it out

I love it! Now im only a level 11, but ive tried the Scepter / Dagger, Staff, and D/D build and i must say D/D is my favorite one thus far… Does alot of dps for single targets compared to other weapons. Has a few AoE’s aswell. The only thing with D/D is that it’s close range only :p

I have tons of fun playing a D/D Elementalist solo in WvW. It has some of the best mobility in the game (perhaps only surpassed by the Thief) and very high burst when your RtL -> Updraft combo lands.

Pretty simple (copy-paste): http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fEAQJAoYhImkblRygjDAhHEwQCiCPUeMDO1A;TIADKmFA

Zephyr’s Boon obviously allows you to have 100%+ Swiftness and also gives a great damage boost in fights through Fury from Auras.

Random footage I shot in 5 minutes yesterday without any sound, just to give you an idea of how awesome Mist Form stomps and RtL is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSdRcHm8Fzk

For PvE at the moment at level 80 I roll with this setup http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#Mcszz9cMxmTMMxmTMx9MaxmkbVVcq

30 fire / 30 arcane / 10 water, the water traits you can move around I have them just for dungeon debuff clearing and regen.

I’m mainly focused on might stacking as it lets me pull many more mobs then usual and burn them down quicker, with this build I can get up to around 14 stack of might just on a pull and build up to a constant 25 ish stacks that allows me to do 3k burning speed’s and 5k+ fire grabs along with the other spells that do just as much damage.

Not sure how that compares to other professions but I feel as if I can take on pretty much any group of mobs except for non slow moving champions.

As for PvP I really can’t comment on it I spend all of about a day playing spvp and I did enjoy it with duel daggers and I killed pretty much everything except for guardian 1v1 but that was very early ranking pug matches so chances are everyone else just sucked worse then me since I rarely play pvp in any mmo.
