Guild Wars 2

I have a level 80 asura elementalist with full world completion but I have grown bored of the looks of him. So small that it doesn’t matter which cool weapons/armor I get because they can hardly be seen. I just recently lucked out and gotThe Legend so now I am trying to settle for a main character. Working towards Bifrost on my asura feels like a waste.

I keep coming back to elementalist because I want diversity in my main character. I’m not going to chose a main because I got the staff precursor so all classes are up for picks I guess. Any tips on how to settle for a main?

Also, quick question: is lightning hammer still the go-to build for leveling? Stack power?

lh was never the go-to for leveling. d/d or s/d for mobility. Staff eles are in a bad spot which is why I am going for meteorlogicus instead. Staff eles are still pretty awesome at higher fractals as support and wvw.

staff eles can do insane dps now, guang found a build, but it only works in organized groups, so bifrost is a viable legendary if you want to go dps, the staff build does around 14k dps per second in organized groups, that’s higher than warriors.

Nice to hear. I do like the fact that the staff is always on show as an elementalist. My mesmer would only show it 50% of the time due to weapon swapping.

So I am thinking about going human for the good overall looks and size. Using my birthday gift I can bring to level 20 instantly and then do some crafting and finish up with gathering the skill points in each zone.

I have a female human ele and I love her. Pretty much every outfit looks cool/sexy and you have a big pool to choose from. Light armor on female humans looks awesome in this game.

However I dont think that leveling elementalists is hard. I have 100% map on my ele and I have to say it wasn´t hard at all. Try out a mesmer and you ´ll know what “hard” means(until lvl 40)…good luck

My ele is female Sylvari, I generally run with s/d; and I loooooove my scepter’s skin: Ember. Goes so well with the Sylvari natural “organic” look PLUS the Elementalist look-and-feel. I mean, if any of the races is supposed to be an elementalist, then sylvari are it, cliché or not but it’s true.
