So, my Elementalist is getting close to 80 now, and the only reason I am leveling it is for world boss farming.

Can anyone suggest me a good build? Obviously I’m going to need Ice Bow and Flame Sword, what else should I use? What gear? Traits? Weapons?

Thanks a bunch.

Considering you can’t crit on world bosses, 30 in prec might be a bad idea.

“What is: Tequatl Rising”

For an example, check the TP and see how much Soldier gear went up in price.

You’ve never been able to crit on many bosses (all the dragons, Golem Mk 2, Fire Ele, Shadow Behemoth, etc.). It’s been like that since release.

You can however crit on a lot of bosses also (all humanoids, karka, etc).

In general, anything with Power is a primary attribute (i.e. highest stat of the three) would be good as “World Boss Farm Gear”. Soldier (PVT) stats is particularly good for Tequatl because the abilities in that fight hit for a lot.
