New ele in need of help
Started with staff and switched to d/d and never looked back. I play mostly wvw now.
You need alot of toughness because we take alot of hits when we go in. I try to keep my toughness up and my vitality not too low. For the rest I try to balance the traits to get damage and also some defense/health regen.
Good luck!
All alone in space and time.
There’s nothing here but whats here is mine.
If you like small scale fighting and roaming, look up Daphoenix’s guide to the D/D ele.
I personally run 0/15/10/15/30 using knight armor, with ascended ceslestial trinkets. Runes are 45% boon duration runes and I have 1 zerker and 1 valkyrie dagger with sigils of battle and force.
Good survivability, good damage, fun to play.
Just remember, the gear you choose should be based on the traits you choose, as traits give a fair amount of stats that you then need to build around.
This is my build:

PS. The 2 Runes of Traveler actually give +10 to all stats with 2% crit damage and 15% boon duration. The website hasn’t updated that yet.
Thanks for the help, and GoatCheese, I will take a look at your build and try it out in spvp area
