Guild Wars 2

Recently i have been trying the focus with dagger, D/F

15 air, 15 water, 30 arcane, and the 10 wherevevr mostly earth

I just want to know is this good

Because it has lots of defensive skills

I would like to know your thoughts

I feel that to make d/f work, you bave to go for burst and let your defensive skills take care of you. I suggest a fresh air build with arcane missle/wave. Knight armor and zerk trinkets/weapons.

A classic bunker build with focus is extremely tanky. Months ago, I defended a broken section of a wall already broken in two places (and the door busted open). I defended that part along with a ranger guildie while our guild held the wall against a zerg. Pretty amazing.

But really, in roaming and zergs, it’s not as great so go for some burst and hope you stop the enemy cold. Focus is really amazing with dealing with ranged guys, but you have to be conservative with your focus skills, due to cd’s. Be very sure to follow up on cc’s with burst, time your reflect for when a ranged guy is doing a killshot or volley attack, etc.

edit – Ohhhh, sPvP. I suck. Oh well, some stuff I said still applies.

To put it bluntly, it’s not ideal. Air/Earth focus skills sync well with the dagger, but Air’s one good CC (gale) is on a horrid recharge, and Water/Fire are just things that mildly tickle your opponent.

It kind of pains me to look at all the help /focus needs, because d/f is my favorite set to use.

I love my D/F ele. I have been toying with 2 builds. 0/10/10/30/20 and
0/10/20/20/20 (rock solid in earth) with malendru runes, sigil of doom and precision.
I have had some success in tpvp with this setup.

I made some videos with this setup or check my stream.
