Guild Wars 2

After playing hot join for a little while today I got pretty sick of the autobalance and figured if I was going to either be out numbered or get autobalanced I may as well test my build in a tournament. So I did my very first YoloQ (legit solo que this time) on Ele today.

I made a lot of mistakes. I fought off point, stuck around in fights I shouldn’t have, and a few other things I think. Overall, I think I could be a better team player with practice.

Anyway, here are the highlights of the match (only cut out the running around and point capping) with an hilarious ending. Hope you guys enjoy it!

agree

but it’s interesting how you won a lot of those teamfights with a D/F condi ele, since it’s mainly a 1v1 build

I’m guessing that’s just the way of YoloQ. Could’ve been just sheer dumb luck or other teams members just didn’t know how to deal with it; maybe a combination of both.

One thing I’ve noticed while playing the build, though, is that it brings pretty decent team support to fights. Air 4 takes ranged classes out of the fight for a few seconds, and along with Earth 4/5 you are able to secure a lot of stomps unless you’re just being focused by more than one person. Then you have the chills, immobs, and a couple interrupts as well.

Staff or even bunker is probably way better for more serious play though. I’m just not experienced enough with Ele or tournaments yet to play effectively that way. Plus I still have a lot of bad habits from hot join play.

apart from mesmers f4, engis small-skill, the ele is the only profession that has true safe stomps. even more than one
