I’m using the dagger/focus build found here

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Guide-DPS-Elementalist-for-PvE/first

I’m using a mix of Assassins/Berserker’s

My question is, how would using opal orbs stand up to the scholar runes

its, 6 less power, it’s more crit damage, and it’s more precision, but you lose the 10% damage bonus when above 90% health, I was just wondering what the community thought.

then how would the ruby orb stand up to either of those, you have 30 more power than the runes, and 36 more power than the opal orb, you have 7% more crit damage than the runes and the same amount as the opal orb, but less precision.

I’m sure the 10% more damage when above 90% health trumps all of this though, I was just wondering if someone more mathematically skilled knew the answer.

Scholars beat them all.

If you are interested in maths and optimisation, take a look at my calculator:
