Guild Wars 2

Hi There,

I justed started playing GW2 it seems really fun, only as i’ve played wow a few year ago, i’m a little confused…
So here is my burning question; for leveling my Elementalist am i picking a 2H staff or 1H+Offhand?
I’ve noticed that that 2H is better suited for PVP? please correct me when i’m wrong:)

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

Cheers!

I use 2 daggers in PvE when I’m exploring and if I join a dungeon I use a staff. I think daggers are nice when you can solo 1 – 3 mobs and a staff has the AoM you need when you have to attack larger groups. I also believe a staff is nice to heal with when in dungeons. Just my opinion maybe you can do something with it. Enjoy the game!

Currently 2h is not the best choice for PvP. Dagger/Dagger is. Elementalist was in my opinion, the ‘hardest’ proffesion to level. It appeared to be weak and I contantly died. But it’s more about getting used to it. Once you get used to Elementalist it is one of the most powerful and fun to play proffesions around.

When it comes to leveling I wouldn’t say neither one is ‘better’ than the other. Both has good aspects. I leveled with Staff 1-80 but if I would make a new Elementalist now I’d go for D/D. But it’s because I’ve been playing with D/D for several month and that’s what I’m used to.

My point being – try em’ both and go with the one you feel more comfortable with.

That’s a pretty silly thing to say. Be a bit more specific and it might be true:

“Staff is not the best choice for solo PvP, D/D is usually better.”

Staff Elementalist is an amazing group WvW class. The Water Fields you drop are very strong when utilized by a competent group.
