Guild Wars 2

Hi, I haven’t played Guild Wars for a while, I used to play my ele with daggers and cantrips but I believe there was a nerf that made it bad or something. Is that still a good build or should I try something else?

D/D for Elementalist are awesome. In my opinion, D/D are the most exciting weapon choice for the profession.

High survivability, quick paced action and good dps.

In WvW the build is pretty much the same.

Nerfs where to bountiful power only granting 1% damage per boon. Ride the Lightning now has a stipulation that you must hit a target to get the reduced cooldown if not then it is 40 seconds.

If you ran Signet of Restoration then you will notice some reduced healing because there was a bug that caused it to Proc 3 times when you used a Evasive Arcana spell that has been fixed result is less healing.

Other than that it is pretty much the same. In sPvP there is more differences like Cleansing Water has a ICD on the condi clear with regen.

Thanks! Wasn’t there also many nerfs to cantrips? Like in mist form you can’t use any spells and I think cantrips don’t break stuns anymore. Are they still viable?

Cantrips are still pretty much a requirement. Half of them don’t remove stuns now.
