Guild Wars 2

I was wondering what you guys thought of a d/d build with 0/2/2/4/6 ( picking up bolt to the heart and tone splinters and then standard traits. I usually play Mesmer or thief but this week I’ve started an ele for a change of pace and love it so far. I tried the standard build and felt like I couldn’t finish opponents, this build seems to hit much harder while only losing one form of condi clear, and granting me the finishing burst I love. Have only tried it in spvp mostly atm as I am still figuring out if I want an ele or warrior but will be doing some Wvw with my ele eventually. Anyways thoughts on the changes and if they kill me to much and or what gear would u change for this build. I’m running celestial strength runes and battle and energy so gold.

I’m using this spec, but bolt to the heart is bad, zephyr boon is much stronger.

i dont find the fury uptime to be as valuable as 20 percent damage xtra for a fire air rotation to finish people off. Why is zephy so much stronger the bolt?

High damage zerker ele is perfectly viable, however I would highly, highly suggest you go thirty air. One of the great struggles of playing elementalist is getting locked out of your damage due to the attunement mechanic. With Fresh air, not only do you get way more hydromancy/shocking attunement bursts, but you get attunement flexibility without needing to invest in arcane, helped by the fact that lightning whip is promazing. You then get to take both bolt to the heart, and zephyr’s boon.

Stone splinters is a good choice, and that one plus renewing vigor are the only real mandatory picks for damage. I like throwing the last 4 points into water, but thats up to you.
