How could you have 8 level 80s and have no idea how an ele is usually built/works? o.O

Direct damage is better for elementalist, although condi kinda works too (not in sPvP or Pve though)

D/D is very mobile, but melee so takes more damage innately and therefore harder to play (and requires defensive investment)

S/D is very offensive with some very bursty combos that will make mobs explode, but lacks defense to reliably make people explode.

S/F is a slightly more sensible/defensive option that still has great bursts, but lacks the aoe dmg/cc of an OH dagger. Has much more defense in invulns/reflects.

Staff is a support control oriented weapon meant to stay at range. Can do crazy damage when built offensively but due to slow cast times and animations is pretty hard to hit people with unless on nodes.

Well , I have 2 necros , guardian , thief , mesmer , engineer , ranger and warrior .
It’s time to level an elementalist , I tried it in 2012 ( thought that it’s weaker than the others ).
I hope that it got buffed since then.

What do you think about my build ? Will d\d with PVT gear be great ?

You’re in for a rough ride. Ele got nerfed HARD since 2012.

I command you to be AWESOME.

Things have changed. Eles are not as deadly as 2012 eles. No one wears full PVT gear nowadays.
