How Squishy is LH DPS Build? [PVE]
In my experience, LH is a little bit more tough than staff, but still extremely squishy compared to guard, warr or mesmer. You’ll have a bit regeneration from camping in water, but that’s not very strong. Plus, you have the blind on the AA chain, but that’s worthless against any boss and comes to late to negate the first hit of trash mobs.

Very squishy. If anyone in the group does go down, it’ll be in this order:
1) Ele; 2) Guard; 3) Mes.
This usually happens when you’re stacking bosses, and is especially apparent at Lupi. He also happens to like targeting Life Drain at these 3 classes – I don’t know why, but it’s definitely noticeable.
A lot of LH ele’s carry Arcane Shield so they’ll survive the first few secs of a fight, after their 2 dodges are used up. I don’t (I used Sig of Fire, Summon LH, and Arcane Wave), but there have been plenty of times I wish I had.
Blinds via LH are great. Simply fabulous. They’re especially useful when stacking the 2 big undead guys in front of the gate into Lupi’s arena. Also useful when stacking in HotW, CoE, and CM.
One question about GC LH build, which runes are you using,?
Don’t tell me Scholar because I never stay at %90 health, what can be a good alternative?
