Hello HellMarch.6827!
The builds below is great for new Elementalists starting out in ranked and unranked play.

Dagger/Dagger Elementalists have a good balance of DPS and survivability though they can be tweaked to deal a lot more DPS at the cost of low survivability

Scepter/Dagger and Scepter/Focus Elementalists normally have high burst damage and low survivability but you can tweak Scepter/Focus to be a bit more tanky or condition based than usual.

Staff Elementalists are good for their combo fields and finishers as they have the most out of the 4 weapon choices. Staff Elementalists are normally used by the high ranked arena teams to provide support to the entire team by stacking might, swiftness, frost aura and regeneration. Staff has 2 powerful AoE heals, great for supporting your team and keeping them alive (Especially if you’re running Aquatic Benelovence in water traits) Staff is Aoe based.

If you want to roam in World VS World, no other Elementalist build will perform better than this one.

It is Dagger/Dagger like the recommended SPvP build but with a few tweaks to make it fit into D/D roaming.

If you want to zerg in World VS World, no other Elementalist build could be better than this one.

I hope you enjoy any of these builds you try and welcome to Elementalist PvP/WvW!

The link I provided you with takes you to the builds and gives a small description of what some of the abilities do.
