Ok, so i’m here with a build. If any of you have seen my builds before, you know I’m horrible with making them myself.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFEQJAoYhMMqeW5wxBf0ACACxsLDHowDhtSB-TxRGwAAeAAJOBAg2fIqyPK6BIp+TelgBAOAY4hHe4hHOA-e

The idea of my current build is to provide support (in other words give people conjured weps and heal when possible), survive (cantrip recharge reduction and regen/vigor) and deal good dmg (strength runes + strength sigil + battle sigil + pyromancer’s puissance)

I’ll run with staff if the occasion calls for it, but personally prefer d/d.

So, my questions for this one I’m currently running:

Would it be wise to switch to soldiers armor instead of knights (lose my precision and some toughness and gain a bit more vit) or just switch everything to cele?

(also keep in mind not everything is ascended cause im still working towards ascended, just dont wanna make the armor till I know thats the armor I want for him)

I mainly PvE (mainly dungeons/fracts), occasionally WvW and PvP

any advice would help (except zerk or go home advice, you may go home instead :b )

Sorry, going home on this one.

Quickly though: Dagger/dagger is the only unviable set in pve. Go D/f instead. Internal fire isn’t a good trait in your build, you won’t camp fire after putting down fire fields and your burst. Take air training in air instead of that little healing power, and camp air autoattack instead. To maximize your dps, move those 4 useless points in water into air for fresh air, then another 10 to either earth for stone splinters or arcana for vigor on crit. If your build is really about support, there’s 0 reasons to take pyromancer’s puissance over persisting flames.
Also, go zerker or go home.

If you’re on EU and need help to get into dungeons, pm me.

Put simply, it’s a terrible build. It’ll have low damage, and for all that tankiness you’re offering 0 support to your team whatsoever.

Here’s a great Dagger MH PvE build: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Elementalist_-_D/F_Elementalist

You would be better with Dagger/Focus build. This will give you better option in PvE setting than D/D. A build like 6/6/2/0/0 will be pretty self-sufficient and give a bit of everything in term of offensive support (Vulnerability, Might and Fury).

Do you already have celestial ascended trinket? If not try to get zerker trinkets and then check between a soldier armor and a knight armor depending on much passive defense you need. If you already have celestial trinket, then really really really don’t go full soldier armor. Even on my WvW frontline guardian I don’t have as much defensive stats as that and I jump in the middle of big ennemy zerg. You will have so little dps, that you won’t be really that useful for your group. Maybe a mix of zerker and knight or a mix of zerker and soldier would be a better solution for you.
