Hello!

I needed some help with different recent builds that you find useful for zergbusting. I am currently running zerg busting builds from META battle but wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations on different builds, traits, and game play.

I am trying my best to rally my server up in WvW and would love help on different builds and how they work and why for WvW!

Thank You in advanced!!

06044 or 06026 is the way to go… in zerg bursting you WANT Lighting Rod. LR has no AoE cap so this is the most powerfull trait elementalist have.

You can be tanky with this trait setup (8 points in defensive trait lines..) but with Pack runes and Air and Fire sigils you can be a real offensive support.

My two coppers..

EDIT: I’m stupid? You need energy sigil… must have

I agree completely here but you have to be smart in how you use your CC. First thing zergs do when they come in contact with each other is pop stability so you don’t get feared (Necro) or Stunned (Static Field) or stopped (Guardian or Ele Wall). So blowing your big cool downs (Static Field and Unsteady Ground) too early can be a bad choice if it’s a prolonged engagement.

If you can, Frostbow 4 is devastating. I mean completely and utterly devastating. Like Meteor Shower each projectile is a mini AOE and the devastation a single cast can do is surprisingly fast and deadly to many zergs with a few people using it. However due to the rather stationary nature of the skill you have to be careful using it.
