Guild Wars 2

The elementalist is a very versatile class.
We can spec ourselves to be whatever we want:
Bunker, DPS, Roam, Support, Ect. and be effective with it.

I want to run with a team of 5 Elementalists.

What I’m looking for:
4 other Experienced Elementalists who can play one of (or more) of these roles:

D/D Support/Roam
D/D Burst
S/D Fresh Air Burst
x/F Bunker
Staff Nuke
Staff Bunker
Frost Bow Nuke (Maybe use the second Ice Bow)

I can play all of these roles other than the staff.

I am looking for experienced and FRIENDLY people to run these with.
I do not run with rude people.
I also require Teamspeak Voice Communication.

I believe this will be a good way to get a better understanding of my own class. Even after 4000 hours with my Elementalist, I feel that there are still areas in which I need improvement in.

If you’re interested, post on this thread with your in-game name and what role you can play.

Roster:

Gasmic: S/D Burst
S/F Frostbow Burst
D/D Elementalist (Not Sure of Role)

It would be nice to have a Staff Bunker.

Last slot could be filled with anything that fits in our group composition.

Well no d/f needed

/out

id love to bring my FA build and skills to some nice competition. But i dont have enough time to play consistently. :-/

What is FA?

Flame Axe?

I can go staff bunker. When do you plan on doing this?

IGN: Shizue Tundrapaw

I play S/D burst and D/D burst. I’m a little out of practice though.

IGN: Okami Mio.

I wish I could spectate this

Glenstorm.4059:

I wish I could spectate this

I will see if I can get this recorded/streamed.

That would be great! :P

Mash Hog.5672:

Fresh Air, :-P

Also if you do it on a Monday or Tuesday night, I’m there!! Those are the only nights I can actually play for several hours.

I am a level 54 (PvP) glass staff elementalist, I’d like to join
In game name is Everkios

Make sure to send me a mail in-game!
This will probably be over the weekend!

cheshirefox.7026:

i can kill a “staff nuke” faster than they can cast meteor shower..
just keep that in mind when building a team

I believe the point of staff nuke is to come in after the fight and clear things.

Fire Attunement → Earth Signet → Lava Font – > Meteor Shower → Arcane Power with Elemental Surge – > Earth Attunement

Works pretty well. Lots of damage.

If the opposite team has a thief, he/she will at least be in doubt whom to target first, haha.

Gasmic, I’m a quite good D/D ele. Sign me up if you want, but I’ll be on my laptop, which does run a bit slower than my desktop. (Thanksgiving break..)

Malcastus.6240:

This is super true. I always am targeted first as ele, so enjoy all of our elemental onslaughts!

I’ll sign up for Fresh Air burst. My Ele’s name is Isabelle Wilder (and is my main); lately been learning a different class so I’ll probably be on Claire Wilder.

Already pm’d you twice in game asking for a guild invite, didn’t reply back.. and if you still need ele players i can fill pretty much all of those roles.

I run staff nuke. But I can only play with voicecomm on weekends. XD

im down. I will not play condi ele. msg me if you need me

This actually seems like a lot of fun. All I’ve been playing for a while now is zerker staff, but I’d love to be a part of this if you’ll have me.

Renuut is my elementalist.

If its EU im in! I can do Staff Nuke, fresh air and D/D Burst. Maybe Staff support too.

I’ve recently learned an FA burst build, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a tournament with it. I’d love to watch, though.

You’ll win and we’ll get nerfed even further, that’s what is gonna happen!

XD

Gl with you project, seems really nice!

I’m going to be sending everyone here guild invites and private messages trying to figure out the best possible time to do this.

This is in NA.

Yep. Hit me up bud.

Hi there I want in, Mash Hog if u would be so kind please send me an invite.
Just to share a fun build I’ve been running in sPvP with some success:
D/D arcane variant~ trait setup: 0/20/0/20/30
In Air take Zephyr’s Boon (I) and Arcane Lightning (VII)
In Water take Cleansing Wave (V) and Vital Striking (VI)
In Arcana take Arcane Mastery (I) Elemental Attunement (V) and Elemental Surge
Sigils: Sigil of Blood (Steal health on crit) and Sigil of Hydromancy (Damage and chill on swap). Sigil of Hydromancy has great synergy with Elemental surge + Arcane power. Damage dealt would apply conditions on hit based off current attunement.
Utilities: Ether renewal (Heal), Arcane Shield, Arcane power & Arcane blast, I usually rotate between Glyph and Fiery greatsword for the elite skill.
Amulet: Soldier’s Amulet with Berserker’s Jewel. (Full Berserker’s if you’re feeling angry and want to see some large numbers =X)
Runes: 2x rune of water, 2x rune of monk, 2x rune of divinity. (with rune setup and traits we have 50% boon duration)
Rather than run with cantrips with a focus on back end damage during the fight this setup allows for great front end burst. I try to only enter fights when all arcane skills are off cool down.
Tips:
I personally auto cast arcane power while in air and earth, Also auto casting aura’s in air and water. As all these spells are instant cast it allows us to chain attack combinations more effectively.
Hope you all have some fun with this setup, if there’s any improvements that can be made do let me know!

I have come to a tentative date for this event for this coming weekend.

Sat, Dec 07 3PM PST.

Please continue listing your builds, available times, and your interests!

Yooo Gasmic. l’ll play S/D fresh air burst or D/D burst for you anytime <3

-Sizzap

Just try not to get us nerfed any further. We’re nearly as useless as rangers at this point.

Delayed to the weekend after this one.
Week of Sat, December 14.

Still looking for Staff Bunker and Frost Bow Burst.

I’m neither, but I’m good at D/D if you need it for anything. Keep me posted.

For the love of god record this from as many possible povs you can, a compilation would be glorious.

I’m not playing on NA and not regularly enough but I’d also love to see videos of this.
In EU many fresh air eles run focus offhand atm, you don’t like it?
@unreal: your sigils share cool down, better take out one for sigil of force or an on-kill-stack sigil.

Capable frost bow burst s/f here… would love to do some ele on NA

Would love to see Staff and Focus players. Please record!

I will try to record…
I have filled a few slots…
I need another few Elementalists still!

Austin Kootz is my character name.

• I use a mental D/D burst build.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoIhMmMbsR3IACKOgghCN6QowCHKFyB-TsAg0CnIoSRljKDVSqsUNq4UxsCA

The +5 from the runes is always active, tested to confirm. I could go slightly higher damage if I needed to, but only for a loss in survive-ability, and massive amounts of dodging to avoid damage. I may need to make some adjustments after the patch, we’ll see.

I’m game. let’s do this.
There’s also a staff build I’ve been wanting to try, I wonder….

How exactly do you do your damage with that build?

Arcane Power
Burning Speed
Ring of Fire
Fire Grab
(dodge sideways to evade opponents return stroke)
“air attunement” (gives lightning strike)(gives fury)
Updraft (knocks down long enough to hit with..)
Ride the lightning.
Shocking Aura
Lightning Whip
(dodge sideways to evade)
Lightning Whip
If the bad guy isn’t dead by this point, I will be.

Perma vigor helps keep the evades going, and the white damage is high. I have a variant with greater crit chance/damage but less toughness, and that’s too glassy.

It’s great as part of a team, I’m mobile and can nuke the beginning of a cap point and bugger out, leaving a severely weakened group to be taken out by someone with more staying power. Also works great on mesmers, one shots all the clones/phantasms (on the LW chain) so they never get the benefit from them.

I’m not saying it’s pretty, but it works well, and I am open to suggestions.

The bleed sigils help bury the burning and when both conditions are on, I have an additional 10% damage.

Since the patch, I’m considering a change to:

The Sigils on that first build were to keep the burning buried, and give the +5% damage to burning foes.

That changed build I mentioned works like you see in the combat log of the attached screenshot. Not shabby

So did this go ahead? Results? Would love to see a vid of the action!

How about posting EU/NA for those events?^^ Communication here is kind of fail

Seconding request for vid(s) if possible

Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances I have not been able to do these yet.

I hope to keep you guys updated on this thread.

I would like to re-approach this idea now.

I have already spoken with 2 other people making our roster:

Gasmic: S/D Burst
S/F Frostbow Burst
D/D Elementalist (Not Sure of Role)

It would be nice to have a Staff Bunker.

Last slot could be filled with anything that fits in our group composition.

I’ve responded. Let’s set some dates so we don’t fall behind. At some point this week I’d like to do some dueling between our team and practicing.

I am down for this sign me up

Dear Gasmic. Do you think I could join? I have been playing Ele for wvw over the past month, and have used all my time trying to get glories to level up, so I have really a lot of hours in tpvp. I also have Teamspeak, but will not be talking on it, just listening and responding by typing really fast.

for the past week I have been running a D/F build, which at one point in time, actually withstood a necromancer, another elementalist, and another Mesmer and managed to down a player before a thief jumped in and decided to go all Heartseeker on me.

I can only play on weekends, and if this is a good time, please message me ingame.

Updated Roster 1/4/13:

Gasmic: S/D Burst
Nex: D/D DPS
Sinndicate: Staff DPS or Bunker
Diotima: Staff or D/D Bunker

Let me ask my friend Serane. Best ele..NA/EU/Anywhere lol. Awesome in spvp too. If he joins in this will be a real party. He’s been having some unfortunate lag though.
