Guild Wars 2

Hey All,

I’m been looking for a d/f or d/d build for PvP and WvW that has some good burst dps and enough sustain. From what I’ve seen fresh air seems to have to best dps between lightning whip and the lightning strike on air swap… Are there any interesting builds out there that can step up our burst dps some while allowing enough sustain to defend points and survive well? Preferably with fresh air but I’m not too picky

Btw, I am relatively new to ele coming from a shatter mes, and I’ve been loving the d/d or d/f builds. Thanks in advance!

You can do the thing that some crazy Ele (C N Z?) does and roll full Berserker D/D and the sustain would basically come from the minimal healing + godly dodges. You can roll people over with 7k Burning Speeds but you’re more paper than paper…

Fresh Air point defence can be done in a pinch but you might want to know your matchups first. Dodge the right things, use your Proj-hate effectively (reflect Pin-Down etc.), and try to land your Phoenix.

D/D Cele is the definite showcase of the power of the new updates, utilising might-stacking runes, the appropriate sigils, and burning along with ok-ish power damage and insane healing (well, you did put 12 points into Arca-Water).
