I’m a long time Staff Ele, but looking for a change of pace for WvW roaming.
I’m looking at the Fresh Air specs (not sure which to choose) for WvW roaming but can’t find any information on gear setups that work. I like a bit of survivability so full Berserkers is out of the question. Any of the more experienced S/D Eles out there got some advice please?
Zerk for pure power stat but mix in some valk or cavalier to get critical damage with some more defensive stats (vitality/toughness). If you don’t need any more critical damage then I would go Knights or Soldiers.
Typically my power stat is 1800+ with 80-90% critical damage minimum. Armor is around 2400 with 15k hp or more. As for runes you can go critical damage jewels or divinity runes to maximize damage. Or you can run Ogre, Wurm, or Air. If you want to be glassy you can go Scholar and just maximize dps when you first engage to hopefully take them from 100 to 0. Another experiment I’m trying is to run boon duration with Fresh Air so that the additional swaps into Air would give me extended fury uptime (leading to perma fury) along with other boons (weapon swap sigil and boons from Arcana V).
Sigils I would go weapon swap like sigil of battle along with a stacking sigil or sigil of force just to maximize damage over an extended period of time. If you want high dps instantly then go like Sigil of Fire + Force and just focus on bursting people from 100 to 0.
