Guild Wars 2

Is S/D now obsolete in sPVP after the dagger buff? Thanks.

No. I’ve seen many successful S/D players in sPvP since the patch.

I personally really love using Aquatic Benevolence with S/D… but that might be thinking ‘outside the box’ at present.

Fresh Air is still strong. Water Trident got a buff.

Did anything else apart from water trident get a buff? because before patch, I remember ppl saying that elem falls short in tourneys.

They unnerfed the Signet of Restoration, and removed the hidden CD on Cleansing Water.

It makes eles pretty good at clearing conditions compared to most classes. It goes a long way to make us more viable, especially given the current strong condi-meta

S/D is stronger if anything, at least with the rune changes and the Signet revert.

i play an s/d build. my dmg drastically increased due to sigil and rune changes

i have been winning tons of spvp today , like 90% wins from today(i did a lot today, didnt touch spvp for a long time)

but the main thing is, no1 knows s/d combos(i mean enemys) they all get in my combos and die.

it might be coz they never tried ele and there arent many s/d eles, all eles i saw in spvp were d/d or staff eles, wich didnt know wth they gotta do…

so s/d currently is awesome due to the nubs atm:p

one thing about s/d, its insanely rewarding and u kill everything in 1-2 seconds(besides heavy heavy heavy bunkers), but rly risky, 1 mistake could mean ur death.

ah btw for the bunker thingys, phoenix (one of the best scepter skills if not the best) is unblockable and hits like a truck

s/d feels useless against condi engi’s not gonna lie

You probably need to go S/F because the /D will get you killed if you get close to the engi.

:( but if i’m defending a point and engi comes to take it, how do i not get close to him? (apart from not defending a point in the first place)

S/D is has the best burst method I’ve ever seen for ele, S/F or D/F is pretty good at killing an engy.
