Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I’m looking for a PvE Elementalist build for the HoT’s maps, I’d like to state that I currently don’t have a great deal of progress on the Tempest spec and I’m not really experienced with playing Ele’s, so would require something with decent survivability and enough damage to kill some foes.

Thank you, FindAndSeek.

For an easy play i suggest staff tempest using fire 90% or a condi tempest with good armor. I don´t know which equipment you like to use (or already have) and also what playstyle you like.
Regardless of the build, ele must move a lot and position.
Nearly any build can do it unless you totaly mess up with your stats ;-).

My problem is I don’t really want to go into the tempest lines until I’ve fully unlocked it :S
And I can go into any gear stats except celestial since it takes so much time to create.

I usuall suggest an easy to use staff build like this.

I condition removal is needed it can use eather renewal.
Blood sigil is cheap and good, fire is the one i usualy prefer.
Hoelbrak is cheaper then strengh rune. Both are good. I prefer hoelbrak.
I WvW food is lemongrass in PvE it is usually cheap power/precision based . You can use oil or stones as you like.

If you need more armor use a knights staff.

Variant: Use water signet instead of storm glyph and trait tempest defence. Then you have minimal condi removal and stun. But the storm glyph is one of the most powerful PvE tools.

I personaly run a fire/earth/tempest condi build mostly rabid armor and it works well PvE and WvW.

Thank you, will give it a try!

It is build for easy use. :-). You focus on positioning and blasting from range.
It has good WvW usage too. The damage done is not far below a full zerker.
I did run with a friend, wo is a very casual player and i made the build for him. I try to take the attention and fire so he can nuke, and this works :-).

Playstyle:
run in air. If combat starts usualy open with static field and go fire.
Start casting as much as you can and stack might, throw your signets in, they are persitant and give might.
Very easy :-).

Avanced:
If you need defence go earth. (its well traited and can do a lot of nice things with 3.4.5)
If your team crys for healing its water (usually 5)

there are some nice goddies in the build like the resistance against criple,chill,imob.
-20% hoelbrak, -33 trait (-20 food in WvW).
