D/D.. what stats am I aiming for?
we suck. sure a good ele can kill a bad player of any other class but as soon as you run into someone who knows what they are doing it’s almost comical how bad eles are
This is ALMOST as depressing as the Mesmer board. thats like suicide hotline over there smh

You should have seen the Ranger forums after the June 25th patch. Don’t get me wrong, the class is still in a horrible place, but people are so optimistic about the tiny little skill tweaks because they’re delusional now from all of the previous psychological abuse. Maybe they’be been medicated?
You want a good mix of damage and survivability (more toughness and condi removal than vitality).
Ele loses long drawn out sustain fights against most other classes now, so you want enough power and crit to burst people down fast without being a glass canon. 2k power, 20% crit chance (before fury) and 70% crit damage is probably the lowest you can get away with and still have any chance to burst through all of the regen tanks running around.
Focus on getting crit damage from efficient sources (divinity runes, traits and exquisite ruby jewels) so that you don’t lose out on overall stats.
Stat point cost of 1% Crit damage on exotic gear
5 (upgrade slot of trinkets and backpack)
7 (Ruby and Beryl orb)
10 (traits)
12 (glove, shoulder and boots)
12.8 (1H weapons and amulet)
13.33 (Earring)
14.22 (2H weapons)
14.4 (Coat)
16 (Ring, helm, back and legging)

Personally, toughness at least 1700 and take the others stats what you really need. I will say you need every stats. For celestrial gear, find magic will disappear and we don’t known if they will change the stats for something good or useless for us class (or they will give nothing in exchange). This factor can change all us gear setup in a near futur.
Elem are weak right now to many nerf and the other class have to much buff and I have difficulty to find good stats combo to wins fight. I was consider daphoenix gear but with the recent nerf I am not sure it will work.
