Guild Wars 2

So something that is bugging me about Ele forums atm is that they seem to be unable to start thinking of builds and are way too bogged down in complaining about this and that tricks that at best lasted for 3 sec or simply broke the game in some formats. This is odd Ele players have always been able to roll with changes to there class and make new builds but no one realty thinking about them so i will post a few of my own.

New meta wvw staff ele build:

Its a bit on the glassly side but with the ability to blind ganks and large groups with out losing your blind effect on others i can see staff ele able to go much more glass like.

D/D burst build:

The ideal is to land knock down and back / stuns etc.. and get a lot of dmg added on because of it. Even nado will get some use here if its well timed and used when the person’s stab ability has been burned.

Condition ele:

Signet monster of a build that should be crazy hard to build and nearly imposable to get away from.

I am not that great and making these build others are far better but ppl are not posted there builds on these forums or simply not making them. Get over your self as a player things are going to changes all the time being able to deal with changes IS part of being an ele. Out of all the classes in the game ele game play very ideal is made to be the class that changes the most during a fight why cant you do this in real life?

I find it funny that even when trying to shoehorn in the trait buffs you still have to throw everything else into Arcane and Water….variety!

Never said i was good at making builds and ppl do not like to be with out there “safety blanket” so i went for more of a stander set of builds not a reinvent a wheel build. If you can think of better post them till then the builds i have are forwarded looking and not bogged down in self defeatism.

I’m just pointing out the fact that when we complain about lack of build diversity, we are pointing straight at the dependence on Water and Arcana for any survivability. So criticizing that attitude and then showing textbook examples of precisely what people complain about is just…funny.

in wvw try living without atleast 4 into water 6 into arcane and 2 into earth, its not that we dont want to go into different lines its just that all of them suck so hard that its not worth taking them the fire grandmaster still isnt justified as an adept trait. warriors dont need special traits to work, we do. also the elemental pet thing isnt viable because it gets killed in 1sec because it goes melee.

I get what your saying i am just going with more stander builds so ppl do not go crazy i would not mind seeing 2 to only 4 in arcana but ppl do not like that and often want to go 6. I like the ideal of doing 6 fire 4 water 4 ar or even 6 fire 2 earth 2 water 4 ar (4 ar is worth going into most of the time for the buff on swap and the cd -% on swap 2 for me at least is simply too long i am just not that great of an ele to pull it off.)

Would tweak your signet build for this instead.

Better survivability. And you can apply bleeds now so serrated stone would make sense. And it would be d/d, not d/f for me.
