Hey all. So I am about to hit level 80 on my ele and could use some suggestions on a build. I’ve already leveled the other 7 professions and had no problem figuring out a solid build on my own. But as for Ele, I’m still not sure.

So I am looking for suggestions on a complete build for my ele. I will mainly be using him in WvW but may, on rare occasions, take him into a dungeon or other pve content.

My only real prerequisite is that I like the staff and would prefer to continue using it. That said, I’m open to ideas on armor stats, runes, sigils, traits, utility skills, etc.

Do not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good.

Since your new to the class, i give you the safiest build, which still provide very good support, out there:

If you want something more bursty, you can take out 10from arcana and put them into air to take either lightning rod either tempest defense (it’s up to you, rod is “garanted dps” while tempest rely on CC from other class)
If you want be more support, put the 10from arcana in water and take cleansing water (#5 water become the ultimate cleansing machine)

For a more DPS stuff, you can go for some berserker-knight-valk mix. I’m pretty sure many player will come here with a few pre-made mix so i invite you to follow them ^^
DPS rune: strengh (obvious, but pretty expensive too ^^)

Tempest seems made careful not to make ele better in any way, since that would be bad

It does the job well :-)
