Guild Wars 2

So for a while now I’ve been trying to think of a good PvE DPS/Support build with staff or S/f and have been getting some trouble. I haven’t gone to far into the attunement swap buff stuff as I never have used it in the past but now I’ve been giving it a shot, so far with little success.

Any help would be most helpful!

If you want simple and easy to play:
I levelled with staff, 30fire 30water 10air, though i think swapping that last 10 to arcana would give better results. It´s easy to use. For dps sit in fire (%dmg, cd reduction and field length traits) as in big events you rarely are targeted. For support part swap to water as often as there´s no cooldowns heal skills, and use water and earth cc to further reduce damage taken by your team (if mobs can´t cath them, they can´t do damageto them either). Remember to use earth finishers as often as possible, unless all you want is dps in which case you can sit in fire. Soloing requires you to attunement swap a lot more, and utilize cc and such, but basic starting combo of e5,glyph of storms,e2,f2,arcane wave,f3,f2,f3f2…etc reduces mob healths considerably so that kiting them down from there is easy.
It´s not the most effective build ever, but easy to play.

For more effective builds that require more from actual player, see any of the staff support builds out there, should findone from searching the forums.
Myself i´m currently using 30 arcana, 20 fire, 20, water build focusing on using finishers for support and offense buffs.
