I’ve recently begun playing this game again for the first time in about nine months. I was never terribly good at the PvP aspect, but I seem to be far worse off just now. I don’t have a good conception of what’s changed, what the meta is now, and I’m having a hard time finding a current guide, so I thought I through myself onto the mercy of the ely forum.

I tend toward the small battleground mist PvP (as opposed to WvW… I’m not sure what it’s technically called), and my problem seems to be… well, I suppose I’m uncoordinated and I have no idea what I’m doing.

I respecced along what I recall working with last time; six points in Arcane, six points in Wind, and two in Water. I have no real idea what I should nab for runes or sigil. Last time I tried, I went with Vampirism runes under the hope it would help my survivability.

As I recall, staff skills are all but worthless outside giant WvW battlefields. I’ve been running scepter/dagger, but I’m thinking of going back to dagger/dagger.

It’s going to take a lot of practice and sucking to work through this, but any comments on what I’m doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

D/D Celestial Cantrip builds are still fantastic.

Check out the D/D build on Metabattle , the traited cantrips makes playing Ele much more forgiving in PvP.

Unfortunately you are almost always forced into 0/x/x/6/6 for Evasive Arcana, Vigor from Arcane, and elemental attunement. You almost always have to go all in Water for the survivability.
