Guild Wars 2

Basically I am looking for some help for an Elementalist build (and maybe a War build) to play Gw2 with a friend who finally got a copy. I havent played in a long time, and Im starting a new elementalist, and my friend who hasnt played at all will start a Warrior. Leveling will be mainly PvE, and maybe some dungeons. We have a 3rd person joining us who will probably start a new toon as well.

I want to keep my new friend engaged in the game, so I am willing to take up a support role, as long as he keeps having fun. Im only level 12 now, but I have several other 80s, so Im not totally new to the game.

Thoughts? I never really figured out the combo stuff. Mostly I was doing WvW in a larger guild before, or leveling through crafting.

I would say use Staff. If you use Dagger or Scepter mainhand, you’ll do too much damage and carry him. Even the Might stacking will carry him.

With Staff, you can heal him with Water and speed him up with Air. Use your blasts on Water and Air to help him understand combos and benefit from it without getting too strong (Might op!)

As for him, tell him to run FGJ and spam it. Also slotting a banner would be useful because he’s eventually going to have to get used to that.

I had a friend who started with a Ranger. I gave him the cookie cutter dungeon build and it took him quite a while to get used to actually activating his skills. He still doesn’t use his pet too often, but he’s getting there. I didn’t actually get to play with him while he was leveling (although I probably would have fell asleep since leveling is boring as all hell), but it’s alright. He’s now good at placing Frost Spirit (for the most part) and he’s just in the “ohcrudsomethingbigikittentingme*PANIC*” mode. Then again, he likes trying to duo arah with me (when my internet doesn’t hiccup).

Thanks! I’ll give that a try!
