Guild Wars 2

I recently hit 80 plus with my warrior chararcter who I absolutely love and now am turning my attentions to an elementalist character as an alt to keep things interesting and play a totally different style of game play.

I’ve noticed there is no weapon switch with elementalist which brings me to the question " What is the best weapon or weapons to level up with ? "

I really enjoy the fire ability of the elementalist and noticed that fire seems to be the biggest damage dealer for elementalist.

As A noob leveling an elementalist ( solo ) what is the best weapon,assuming there is one,to use ? I’m thinking staff but would like some feedback from some of the veteran elementalist players.

Thanks for those who decide to send feedback.

We have so few weapons that you should just try them all out and see what you like. You should definitely keep a staff with you at all times, to switch to before doing large events, but if you like to run something else, go for it. I personally love D/D. It’s melee range, but the defense is much more active than a warrior or guard, so it’s a lot more engaging.

Carry all the weapons, they are all useful in different situations You’ll always have 3-4 slots available in your invisible bag :P

Appreciate that double dagger info.I’ve been staying away from them because I thought it would be better to range enemies with the staff since elementalist wear light armor.I didn’t know double daggers provided defense.

Heh, I dare to say you are missing alot of defense the class has to offer in all the weapons. The list is really really long on how we can avoid damage, mitagate damage, and heal over damage thru boons on ourselves, conditions on mobs, and heals, all by any number of means including dodges, traits, skills, sigils, and runes.

use them all.

I need to get myself a focus lol
