Guild Wars 2

So I got my 5k Achievement chest and got the scroll. Used it on a new ele and of course I wonder what sort of build do I want to run on him after he is level 80. No idea what sort of builds ele’s run but trying to find a nice build that can kinda work both in open world pve and wvw and not be totally useless. Don’t mind if I got to change gear or stuff, but kinda just need to know a little bit more about ele’s before i see what kinda of build works for me.

TL;DR

What kind of builds do ele’s run in open pve and wvw? Any examples would be welcomed.

Thank you.

For those settings I’d reccomend staff

What do you want to do in WvW? Zerg / group play or more roaming oriented?

I agree with FrownyClown unless you plan on roaming solo.

more then likely just group play with my guildies. Not gonna go to heavily into ele but want to be somewhat useful when i do play him.

For casual ele play def go staff. Gear wise stay pretty balanced. Dont need too much healing power so focus on raw damage and toughness/vitality

So I’m thinking of using something close to this. Hopefully I can get some feed back for it. Again this is for casual play in open pve and group wvw.

Less crit chance more crit damage. Build itself looks fine

Switched armor upgrades to Runes of the Wurm. Changed trinkets to Cavalier. Tried to have some half decent crit dmg, while keep some toughness.

hmm, looks like it will work for me. Thank you for all the help FrownyClown.

Sure just change some traits for more dps if needed
