Guild Wars 2

What is the best way to do damage without dieing. I die way to much and this does not make playing fun

Stack toughness, and pro-actively get some might stacks and fury!

Um, don’t wear zerker?
The only reasonable berserker parts are jewel where 1% critical damage is counted as 5stat points. Not like in armor/ weapons etc. 1 as around 14.

Eles are not meant to be played as pure Glass Cannon unles you’re really really good at kiting, evading attacks.

Glassy eles are so squishy they die when enemies merely look at them. They have the lowest base HP, wears light armor, and have no inherent defensive mechanics like Blocks, Stealth, and Clones. Cantrips have lengthy cooldowns.

Just wear PVT gears or any gear with sufficient toughness and stack as many Might as you can while fighting, which is where Eles are good at (but not better than Warriors). Sigil of Battle, Fire field combos, Fire attunement swap, etc. Might stacks is where you’ll get most of your damage. Oh, and fury on auras (trait) and attunement swap (trait) will make up for your lack of Precision/Crit chance.

Are you talking about PvP or PvE?

PvE most likely.

Berserker ele isn’t even that great — your damage comes more from might stacking and boon duration stack than using ruby orbs.
