Guild Wars 2

I did try this condi build, it worked great but unranked is unranked, right? So meanwhile could you guys try this build to see it’s effectiveness and revert with your feedback please?

I personally love condi builds and would love to play a condi ele however possible.
(PvP build link isn’t working for me so I will just write it down here.)

Weapon set: D/D
Trinket: Mercenary’s
Sigils: Smoldering/ Doom (could be geomancy/ doom)
Traits: Fire – Burning Precision, Power Overwhelming, Blinding Ashes
Earth– Elemental Shielding, Strength of stone, Diamond skin/Stone heart
Tempest – Latent Stamina, Invigorating Torrents, Elemental Bastion

Healing Skill: Wash the pain away
Utilities: Feel the burn, Cleaning Fire, Armor of Earth
Elite: Rebound

If you are not being focused, you can pretty much burn burst anyone using your utilities together as well for offensive purposes.

Idea is to spam F1 whenever possible, rest is self explanatory. You would want to use spam your fire skills mainly and earth AA as secondary and rest only occasionally/ situationally.

A fun build, no? Thoughts?

This is nearly the same i tried out a bit today and it´s close what i normaly play with S/F. I use sigil of fraility an doom or water depending on mood in this build. Fraility is a cover condition that procs about all 3 seconds. Also i definitly use geomancers training over Strengh of stone. Rune is soldiers.
I am not shure if i will stick to it but its quite solid.
Also i don´t like mercenaries amulet. It feels very strong and that most builds will use it. If that happens i hope its removed again.

And hi Diva. Nice to see you posting here again. Maybe even a signet build version of this is useful :-).

I’ve tried Condi Elementalist, but I find that Warhorn is stronger especially with Dagger. Only problem is getting people locked down, but you can easily do AoE Condi’s.

I am using the same stuff for testing, only variation, I am using Glyph of Elemental Power activated at fire, otherwise when a Thief opens (or any burster) and I have to camp Stone Heart, I have no other means to deal damage, if they don’t introduce a toughness/vitality/healing amulet they have to really put some damage to earth attunement, more bleeding, something

D/D ultimately gets destroyed by D/P thieves running Impacting Destruction. Your casts are far too long and all that happens is the thief will auto attack and head shot on anything you do.

How is burning precision working w/o precision?

I’ve been playing this build on Ele in PvP after much testing of various builds and I think it works very well. I use Merc runes btw.

Mainly for maxing out the burning duration.

Hey there!
Yes, I got my expansion not so long ago and still figuring out stuff.
As far as Mercenaries trinket goes, that’s the only hope I see atm for eles if we want to add any condi flavour in our builds as Mender’s is totally power based.

Signets are officially dead , they don’t proc protection anymore, no good auras on it plus it’s so EASY to dodge. We can do absolutely nothing with signet build now. Only passive signet is somewhat useful that too in pve may be. And, more to that Thief remains our biggest problem to counter now in pvp.

I did test with mercenary and sage. Both work. Sage is more team oriented.
I personaly hate it without precision. I did try combining Mercenary + Lyssa rune + acuracy sigil. It did a good job but sadly i sacrifice team support from soldiers which i realy like….. I like a good mix of offense, a splash of defence and some team support (a lot by hindering oponents not only buffign and healing) I do preassure blinding and weakening oponents and this mitigates damage to the team. I don´t play full bunker and water traits :-). No healing power is not an issue for me as i don´t trait for regen then and the heal scales poorly. I expect me to end with mercenaries because it´s solid and offers more offense and defence but it somehow feels meh ….

Still on Vabbi or back there Diva ?

I did play a lost with wanderer amulet and the combination soldier + wanderer feels good. It´s somehow hard to decide between sage/wanderer/mercenary for me.
