Guild Wars 2

Hy all, please help me! atm i run staff bono support build in dngeons, but i red a alot forum , which said doule dagger is cool, but i feel myself like paper, event with 30 point earth..so pleasse suggest me a d/d dungeon set up : )

DaPhoenix’s build in the thread below works pretty well in dungeons:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Tanky-DPS-Elementalist-Videos-included/page/4#post525896

As a dungeon master ele who loves using D/D this is what I run
http://www.gw2builds.org/create/bwe_1/elementalist#1.0-3.12.9.3.3-0.10.10.20.30-8.1.4.2.6.9.8

Not sure if that link will work but
10 air (quick glyphs)
10 earth (earths embrace)
20 water (cleansing wave and cantrip mastery. If you want feel free to change one of those into the thing that gives you vigor when you use cantrips)
30 arcana (Evasive arcana, elemental attunement and renewing stamina)

utilities:
Signet of restoration
Mist form
Arcane shield
Optional – Usually either lightning flash, armor of earth, glyph of renewal or other as needed.

gear:
Power/vit/toughness gear (Sorrows embrace set) with crests of the soldier (power/vit/tougness)
My backbrace, and then rings/ammy/necklaces are all bezerker with ruby jewels though.
Daggers used are power/vit/crit damage, but if they are available to you then consider the invader ones (power/vit/toughness) sigils I use are rage and then I change the other one up quite a bit. So feel free to use bloodlust, or luck, or flame, or whatever you want on that one.

Overall strategy:
Never stand still unless you’re using churning earth

If you need to back off then switch to water, vapor blade is longest range, and it stacks vulnerability which helps the team.

If you’re looking for a good opening combo: Fire 3, fire 4, switch to earth, earth 4, earth 5, use arcane shield if you’ve got aggro during earth 5 so you dont get wtfpwned.

air 3 (shocking aura) is incredible for certain monsters. Stunning them when they hit you saves your life.

With that setup switching stances can give you some nice boons, water earth and air are usually best for survival (regen, protection and swiftness) Switching should also give you fury, which in turn lets you crit more, which gives you a higher chance at vigor, which is incredible for surviving.

and honestly the best tip is this – Dont try to D/D everything. It’s just not possible. Certain bosses or trash encounters are just a million times easier with your staff. Always keep one with you.

very well answer, i try out tomorroe, thank you so much ! : )
