Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,

Yesterday I’ve reached lvl 80 finally i will play pve dung/frac mostly. I bought the whole berserk armor sset berserk staff and s/f cause I like playing with that setup. I also have 1 berserk ring and amulet. Can you tell me what runes shall I use and what kind of infusion shall I put into jewellery? I’d like to also know what accessories and back item I need to buy and where can I find it if u don’t mind;) and what other ring would be good for a beginner like me
I don’t have hundreds of gold, laurens or ectoplasm yet:p
Thanks for your feedback guys. Cheers!

For the runes
- Strength : This is the best runes for S/F Ele that stack might. But it’s expensive.
- Scholar : Best choice for Staff, it work well of S/F Ele too. It’s a bit less expensive.
- Flame Legion : Work on staff (take the trait that put burn in the fire trait line), but not at all for a standard S/F. It’s cheap.
- Ranger : This rune work with a miniature, so keep one with you. But I think its a bug that may be fixed latter. This rune cost less than 2 gold.
- Ruby Orb : This is only temporary, while you get enough gold to buy a proper rune. These are really cheap.

For infusion, you should start with a +5 that you can get at the vendor inside fractal and put it on your amulet. You should really read the wiki on that, it can be complicated.

Back Item and Accessories can be a bit harder to get. Take berserker for those so you don’t want to change to zerker latter one. When I did my first back item I crafted Soldier stats and regretted it when I got better and wanted zerker. Took me a while to get a new back item. Accessories can be buy with laurel+ecto or guild recommendation (the second is the cheapest, but you need an active guild, plenty of guild are ready to bring a new player that want to gear up). A lot of ways to get a back item, read the wiki for that one, but it will be a medium term goal.

SnF benefits from damage output.

So does SnD

DnD requires sustain and damage

Staff requires what DnD requires but can forgo some sustain if you are good

I assume this is for pve?

If not PvE , WvW for begineers should start with a mixture of cleric and soldier and use cheap free AC runes you can get(water) runes after some runs. Minus condi food.

You should look for a real build after that.
