Guild Wars 2

I’m often put into a down state before I can finish an opponent off in a 1v1 skirmish. Most of the time, I bring the opponent to 10%-15% HP. I use the following to down them when they rush over to stomp me:

Icy Mist trait
Lava Tomb trait
Superior Rune of the Afflicted

If I’m lucky, I throw a Lava Font around me before I go down, to make things doubly painful. Using Vapor Form offensively catches some people by surprise.

I used to do that, but re-traited so I didn’t have to do that. I found it depressing that I did more DPS while I was downed and it felt like I was being too pessimistic.

Imo, best to re-trait and just learn to play better. Not to be mean. The key to playing Ele is to always be on the move. Circe strafe everywhere, all the time.
