-D/D
-armor of earth, arcane shield (arcane blast in easier one for more might stacks), mist —form
-glyph of elementals

WvW
same….

I’m often forced to switch to staff though….

When you say D/D you mean Dual-Daggers?

DG:
WEAPON: Dual daggers for the easy boss fights and between bosses, staff for the harder bosses or those you need range for.

UTILITY SKILLS: Glyph of Storms (great in earth), Conjure frost bow (great when team use it too), radiation field (asura racial, nice long poisons combo field)
ELITE SKILL: Glyph of elementals, and I always forget to use it.

PVP:
WEAPON: Dual Daggers
UTILITY SKILLS: bunker spec: 3 cantrips , More dps focused: arcane blast, wave, (with arcana trait XII)
ELITE SKILL: Glyph of elementals, and I still forget to use it.

WvW:
WEAPON: When travelling with a small group of guildies, dual daggers, when zerging to defend a tower or keep, staff.
UTILITY SKILLS: 3 cantrips, great for running away!
ELITE SKILL: Take a guess ^^

Dungeon: (Fotm, AC, Arah)

Weapon: Staff
Utility: Lightning Flash, Armor of Earth/Cleansing Fire
(heavy knockdown/heavy conditions), Mist Form
Elite: In terms of Elite skill i am as oblivious as the poster above me

WvW:

Weapon: Either dagger/dagger or staff
Utility: Same in dungeons, atm experimenting witch Arcane Shield (easy
counter for bs thieves)
Elite: Switching to Tornado when i am near cliffs :-)

For healing always Signet of Restoration

Nice guys. Thanks for share!!

Just a noob question.

• What it mean “cantrips skill” ?
• Which kind of skills are “cantrips” ?

I’m still in the dark when i read/heard this expression.

Cantrips are a certain set of utilities. Armor of Earth, Cleansing Fire, Mist Form and Lightning Flash are Cantrips. Look for the skills in your utility bar. Below the name of the skill written in yellow is the category of the utiliy (also yellow).

yes Dagger/Dagger
its also the most fun weapon set.

I know a staff ele is concerned to try a melee set on a squishy class, but mobility compensate somehow, attack are faster and crowd control is better.
