So I was trying out Ele and would like to play it more often but had some questions about it. As of now I am gonna go with the standard D/D build and plan on doing mostly wvw and spvp with him. As I was looking through the various roaming wvw vids and posts on forums I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of people have a shockingly low amount of crit chance? Can anyone that is experienced with a ele explain this to me? I know in one of the trees it gives you fury everytime you switch attunements but that is only for a few secs. And as far as runes go what are common ones that are used kinda unsure what to take with me.

To play D/D effectively you should be swapping in and out of attunements constantly. Dont be one of those eles who just sits in fire, or water, whatever just camping the same attunement all day. Your only using 25% of your skillset this way. Dont be one of those guys. To that effect its essentially perma fury. If you need pointers on when to switch attunement s watch some streams or YouTube videos. Yes ideally tho youd have 2.2k power, 50% crit before fury, 17k health, 700 healing power, 2.8k toughness, and 220% crit dmg. But that simply cant happen. Sacrifices have to be made somewhere.

As for runes, strength are absolutely ideal for d/d. You have so many blast finishers, and 2 fire fields to blast in. Because of this most d/d builds are capable of sitting at 20-25 stacks of might. Battle sigils are also very important
