Guild Wars 2

So last night I got around running a full zerker build in WvW. I was gobsmacked at how much I could get away with whilst dropping 7.5k meteors. I just put 30 fire, 30 Air and 10 in arcana. But what is the highest DPS build possible for a staff ele if I’m will to completely ignore any survivability whatsoever?

30/10/10/10/10 or 30/20/10/10 depending on whether you want blasting staff or not. they hit the most damage modifiers.

Yeah I will want blasting staff. Thanks will give that a whirl

Guanlongwucaii give you the meta PvE build. If you want the most DPS that should be it. But use your head and pick what will work for you and your gameplay.

You want minimum of 25 in fire to get 10% dmg while in fire, 10% dmg to burning foe and less CD on fire skills. You also want 10 in Air for Bolt to the heart.

After that it depend on your playstyle since what work in PvE, don’t necessarily work in WvW. Spot all the damage modifier and ask yourself if you gonna be able to keep it up.

If you roam you will probably be in the 600 range (because they will run after you), so put 10 in earth for stone splinters. But if you run in the zerg, you will want to stay in the back and range pressure, making this trait useless. If you run alone or in small group that don’t give bleeding, then serrated stones is also useless, but it can be nice if you run with a condition friend or in a zerg. Do you think you will be at 90% hp for most of the first? You are really squishy so either you burst down a enemy before he can even hit you or you gonna lose that damage modifier really quick. This one depend on you, if you feel that you are enough time over 90%.
