Guild Wars 2

I’ve got an open alt slot, and I just recently hit 5K achievement points so I have the scroll to boost a toon to level 20 off the bat. I know Ele’s aren’t the best in damage, but I’ve seen under good circumstances that the Fiery Greatsword and Lightning Hammer can both do some massive damage if traited properly and buffed well.

My question is, which is better in your opinion? I plan to build my toon to use them for dungeons.

One is an Elite, the other an Utility. Why don’t you take both?

I have extremely limited knowledge in Ele’s.

Assuming I use the elite one, I could probably use that other utility slot for something better, and vice versa I suppose.

If you really want to pick up LH, get FGS too. If you only need FGS, you could drop LH for a third utility.

Because the elite pool is very small and only a couple are actually any good (well, the others are SITUATIONAL) while the utility pool is big and has several to pick from.

Generally, just grab both. FGS has quite a cooldown so you’d need LH to have something on your hands most of the time.

Also consider frost bow for sPvP or WvW. The 5 second unbreakable stun is very nice to set up a massive burst.

If you are levelling I would suggest saving for the Elemental Elite. Fiery Greatsword is fun and good for moving around the map, though the elemental can help to get you out of upchuck lane when you have no floaties on.

Also elites are Level 30 so you still would have 10 levels to go.
