Guild Wars 2

I’ve had my level 80 elementalist just sitting there for a while, and I am not sure about what’s good or bad or how many different roles there are so I would like some advice on this.

I am thinking to go mainly DPS, whether or not it’s condition or straight up power I don’t know.

What options do I have that are somewhat optimal?

metabattle.com is a good place to find the meta builds for every class in the game

If you haven’t really invested yet, and you aren’t in a rush, it might be smartest to wait and see how the new meta pans out after HoT launches, within a few days or weeks there may be all new gear sets that are considered “best”.

If you must have some thing NOW, then it depends slightly on whether you want to play pve or another game mode.

For PVE, zerk eles are the norm, mostly staff, but with several other weapon sets, too. For dungeon/fractal type things, DnT’s posts are very instructional to at least get you started. Most focus on power, very few condi, though anything is doable.

Wow, thanks! Should’ve known about this earlier, helps out a lot. Also I think I can wait for another week or so honestly… It sounds like a good idea to wait and see how things pan out in one, two or three weeks before I actually make a decision.

It’s a problem I have with my Mesmer and my Engineer, honestly. Once I have commited to something I can’t be assed to go through the process of getting them different gear for different playstyles.
