Guild Wars 2

Hello, i’m kinda new to the elementalist (had one a long time ago) and i’m planning to make one for wvw solo and small group roaming.

This is the build i’ve been thinking about http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEMQJAoYhEmibyR4QlDAEFn4yQRIbUegDN2A-jECBoLCh00gUBAZRFRjtMqIas6FY6SER1uEFRrWKAzUGB-w

Any tips on what to change or criticism is apreciated.

Get rid of windborne dagger (bugged, and generaly a kitten trait)
Add elemental attunement (most consider it a must have trait for almsot any build, it´s good)
Consider renewing stamina (near permanent vigor with very little precision needed)
Consider cleansing wave (really really good, a lot better condition removal than soothing disruption and cantrips)
Consider changing atleast the orbs, maybe small parts of armor and trinkets too, to berserker, cavalier or valkyrie, currently you´re complete bunker.
I´d recommend an on swap sigil instead of 2 constant ones, and condition duration one should be changed anyway.

when you change atunments is it considered a weapon swap?

Yes it is considered one.

didn’t knew that and thanks for the info and tips. It was mainly a theory craft for when i’ll get to 80. With your sugestions sounds good.

Sigil of battle is a must for almost any ele weapon.
Renewing stamina is awesome when you change your trinkets to zerkers (which you should do right now now now)
Take away 10 points in earth and put them in air for zepyrs boon (a must have for d/d)
Lastly grab elemental attument its epic.
That is pretty much it.

Yep. Eles without stacked might are useless, even with stacked might they dont deal great DPS. That´s how this class works, if you dont have stacked enough might, you already lost the battle.

You can do without if you learn to take full use of fury on attuning.
Ofcourse it´s a lot easier when you have perma fury from zephyrs boon, and perma swiftness is nice too.

Takes a while to get all this, but the dmg doesnt disappoint

Burning speed 3-6K
Churning 6-10K
Lightning Wip 1,5-2K

Dont get why people complain about the ele.
Yes, we got alot of nerfs, but if you know the class you can still do alot of dmg and survive.

Because some of us play pvp where there are less stats and next to no ability to deviate from a fixed stat set.

WvW I don’t know why people complain, probably because they can’t survive 5 people trying to kill them any more.

And some people have the nerve to say that they could tank 5 people and kill them all. What were they, under leveled or afk?

You don’t play a lot of other classes do you?

Have you played any of the other classes? Churning Earth is that high simply due to how insanely easy it is to dodge and interrupt. I have seen Auto attacks on other classes do 3-4 times as much as Lightening Whip.

We have the lowest health, lowest armor and if we want real damage and go Zerker if we dont get them down then we die. I mean i am running Vitality armor (no accessories yet) and STILL have less health then my Mesmer who has NO Vit gear and no points in the Vit tree where as i have 20…

I think this doesnt help, People seem to think oh i killed people while being out numbered it must mean Ele rocks, ignoring that they likely faced up leveled people. They go on the forums saying how we are amazing and can do all this damage, the Devs see it and think oh if he can do it the class is fine and everyone else just needs to adapt.

The simple fact is, Unless you are facing terrible players and/or up level people you will NOT be winning any 1 V X fights and i count them as being out numbered from the start of the fight not when someone joins when you already have one of the upscaled people downed…
