Need more info about elementalist
Ele had the highest potential burst damage currently. Staff eles are to die for in wvw. Watch zoose on youtube, he takes on masses of ppl with his buddies. Condi is not the best on eles currently but can be done if needed. Its really preferance. Do you want the mage or a mecha dude with guns and turrets lol. One thing i will note it is hard ro get condi cleanse out of water magic. Yes we have a few utilities that remove but not many, we have one focus skill that removes and a trait in fire also. Imo 9/10 times im traiting at least 20 in water.
Depends on what you want to do in WvW. If you wanna go zerg vs zerg, staff is great, because you probably won’t take too much direct beating and your telegraphs gets lost in the chaos.
But if you want to roam, staff isn’t that good, because its too polarised of a weapon, and all your damaging attacks are way too easy to avoid in a 1v1.
I see. Thanks for the replies and wvw overview.
