Guild Wars 2

Well what the kitten… I’m only level 9 atm but I have trouble killing mobs my level, just died to a Skale type mob, couId not out damage it’s regen lol it was hitting me for 97 98 one 253 hit. Im hitting them for 39 40 ish i mean wtf using a staff atm but even with diff weapons makes very little difference. First time in game I’ve been unable to do a skill point. Take me hat off to u guys that have gone all the way ps do they get better???

Those skale mobs are a little buggy. I wasn’t able to kill them until I was a few levels higher either.

You have to learn to attunement dance, eles just suck until you learn how to do that.

Also I recommend using arcane blast and arcane wave for pve. Those two skills will almost kill every mob without any other damage.

The key to those is condition and burst. You want your burns to outpace their regen and you want your burst to keep knocking them down.

Now’s a good time to be learning not only attunement dancing, but field/finisher combos. For Staff that would be Fire2 and then Arcane Wave if you unlocked it or switching to Earth for Earth5, Earth1 or Earth2 (or all three if you’re quick enough). Then pop over to Water for Water3 and/or Water5 for regen.

In PvE you can use simple rotations to beat mobs. Put a lava font on the floor (over the mob), flame burst them, face backwards and use burning retreat. As you’re rolling over the lava font, use Arcane Blast for the might stack and damage and then throw an arcane blast at them. That should do a fair bit of damage

Ele can do all sorts of little combination tricks. but throwing basic fireballs etc will never work. They take a lot of work and often feel like you’re putting so much work in and barely matching what other people are doing in a couple of button spams. But it’s way more fun :]

Staff at low levels is pretty difficult. I spent a lot more money rezzing myself at waypoints on my elementalist than other classes I’ve tried until about level 20. If you are getting discouraged, try S/D for a little bit, or if you want a different challenge, try D/D. Also, get Glyph of Lesser Elementals ASAP so you have something else to draw aggro.

Maintaining distance between you and enemies and knowing combos are key. Fire (as mentioned above) is best for dealing straight damage, and if you have space so that you won’t draw in another mob with Earth 2, Earth is good too.

Air 2 and 3 are good for controlling one mob, but Air 1 can aggro that peaceful Doe next to you, so be careful with that one.

Some easy combos to start using:
Fields:
Fire 2
Water 4
Water 5 (Healing combo)
Air 5

Finisher:
Earth 1
Earth 2*
Earth 5
Arcane Wave

Earth 2 is also a finisher, but since the animation is long and won’t draw aggro until the very end, put it down before putting down your field.

I would suggest dagger / dagger or scepter / dagger for leveling. Staff is just awkward most of the time. But that’s my opinion.

Elementalist is one of the harder classes to level. You cant just sit still and push 3 buttons. You have to keep moving, use all your skills, use your attunements. That’s one of the reasons I like it, but many people dont.

human has 3 elite skills what remain same with all classes but other classes have some extra elite skills, Sylvari has 4 extra elite skills, 3 what human has + 4 his own, so it means human has only ele/class elite skill, human dose not have his own elite skills, so human race dose not have elite skills & other races have race elite skills, at lest Sylvari has tont know all races, maybe this are not race elite skills but nature elite skills what Sylvari has but Sylvari has 4 more then human & this 4 remain no matter what class u chose

Dam Sugram you deffo repeat yourself too much, a whole paragraph about one sentence.

Anyway, Elementalists are harder to level that most other classes. Started my charr warrior after I got my ele lto 80 and am doing dungeons with it. It is still my main, but I am amazed at how quickly and how many mobs I can kill but more amazed at how much damage and healing I am doing on myself as a warrior…its insane.
