Guild Wars 2

How do your stats look on your WvW ele builds? (Assuming d/d btw, no other specs)

How much?
- Armor
- Health
- Power
- Healing
- Crit Chance
- Crit Dmg

I’m interested how much you should run as Elementalist in PvE too.

i am trying to get back in to D/D kinda got over being a heal bot.

it all depend on how much u think u need to survive.
reading from few forums it seems that most people tend to aim minimum 30% crit chance and work from there.

at the moment i am finding it a bit hard to reach some of the numbers for 0/10/0/30/30

what i look for Pre WvW buffs.
armor: 2600
Prec: 30%
HP: 16k
Crit daamge: 85%
attack: 2k

i seem to get very close to the numbers but still not good enough.

i have manage the numbers on a different built but i sacrificed attune time and EA.

trial and error.

What do you call very close.. I’m assuming exotic gear for this btw and is pre-wvw also pre-food or food included? Cuz if pre-food and no ascended gear + infusions there is no way you can ever have 2k attack, 85% cdmg, and 2600 armor all in the same build. Ele has base 18xx armor and base 916 toughness.. to get to 2600 you need to be at around 1500+ toughness.. thats 600 from gear. Assuming you get no more than 100 from earth that means 500 from gear = full main stat toughness armor and half mainstat toughness trinkets.. or full secondary stat toughnesss armor and trinkets..
For 85% crit damage assuming 10 base from 10 air you need 75%.. Full zerk trinkets + weapons and scholar runes would only give you 45% and maybe 60% if you go ruby jewels in trinkets.. However even with only 45% 2600 armor is impossible to reach.. then finally you want 2k attack. Only way to reach the numbers you want you gonna need main stat toughness alot, there is no points in fire on d/d and if you go celestial/knights/cavalier on any pieces you are going to be severly lacking power.. only gonna reach 1700 ish or so. Then you are forced to run scholar + ruby jewels to make up for the power and that will again make it impossible to get to 2.6k armor and 85% crit damage.. Mind you also want 16k hp which means u need more vitality than just 30 water. Meaning a few soldier pieces or celestial pieces and you want 30% crit which even if you use accuracy sigil + 10 air means you need about 17 % still from gear which is around 350+ precision from gear..

I would like some tips regarding stats as well. I am coming from an engineer and almost 80 with my ele and not quite sure how to gear up/spend my laurels. I’ve noticed many ele’s here don’t want to share their gear setups but if I could get some pointers or tips?

I’ve been playing around a lot on the build editor and managed a stat spread I was quite happy with but that was only with 2x travelers and 4x divinity runes. This is expensive and I think I probably want to go the boon duration route for perma protection, regen and fury. Without the divinity runes I can manage about 2,5k armor, ~16k hp, around 30% crit and 2,7-2,8k attack (not counting stacks) with 60% crit dmg. THese stats are with lemongrass and the precision consumable with exotic knights, some valk and 2x ascended cavalier rings and ascended berserker+valk amulet. How does this sound to more experienced eles? Any tips on how I can do better?

Thanks.

Given ferocity nerfs, the gear id recommend is a cavelier zerker mix with one weapon being soldiers

not to mention WvW stacks. you will get your numbers.

you wont see alot of Eles post build. so it is hard to know what is rite for you.
