New to Ele build and gear advices ??
Basically just your standard full zerk Fire/Air/Tempest build, just using daggers. If you’ll be running mostly solo, I recommend Fire(1-1-1), Air(1-3-2), Tempest(3-3-3). Scholar runes for most damage. Flame Legion for cheaper alternative and easier uptime of the buff. Accuracy/Force sigils. That’s what I ran for map completion recently and it’s quite pleasant for generic PvE. Lots of mobility, plus it kind of makes you want to combo fire fields with all the blasts available. Be warned though, it’s not really endgame material.
Condi, no question. Power lags everywhere except large hitbox now and condi beats it there. Dagger/Dagger lends itself to burn builds well. Spec Sinister with Viper’s weapons and rings, Balthazar runes, Sigil of Smoldering, and either Sigil of Bursting or Sigil of Accuracy. I lean Accuracy, because I like maximizing crits and this build has a lot of power, but you do you.
Power Staff Tempest:

- for open world/ fractals/ raids with big hitbox enemies or lots of adds you need to
cleave
- Easy to gear
Condi Dagger/Focus Tempest:
https://qtfy.eu/guildwars/elementalist/condi-tempest-quick-guide/
- for fractals and raids whenever you need to do tons of dps on a single target, preferred on small hitboxes over staff, not good for cleaving through adds
- harder to gear

Because “most fun” is different for each person.
