Guild Wars 2

I’m thinking of creating a new toon and was going back and forth on creating a 2nd Mesmer, or my first Ele. Currently I have 2 80 necros, 80 Mesmer, 80 War, 80 Gaurd, 80 Thief, 80 Ranger, and 80 Engineer. I tried Ele almost 2 years ago and hated it so never went back. Now I want to try to go back, but need advise.

Primarily this will be for PvE fun (likely some dungeon runs when people ask for an Ele) and WvW zerging with guild mates. Build advise is welcome. Thanks in advance for the help.

For pve, 6/6/2/0/0 is the usual build when you’re the only ele in the group. If fury and vuln is already capped, there’s more damaging builds usable. Weapons should be scepter/focus or dagger/focus for general uses. S/D is a bursty weaponset for speedruns, staff is the “2nd ele” weaponset. PVE builds focus around conjures to reach their maximum dps, so get used to it. For Www, staff is always wanted for their aoe cc, water fields, and damage.

Your role in pve is offensive support mainly, with projectile absorbtion and swiftness stacking.
