You should probably make it more apparent that the Dagger/Dagger build is the most common / best of all of all of those.

I’ve been using d/f fresh air with great success. Not popular at all but in my opinion it’s the next best build after d/d cele. Like s/f just better. Just started using it about a week ago.

It’s not a mistake, it’s pretty strong in some situations. With fresh air, that’s basically a superspeed ignoring slow/chill every ~5s. That super speed can help you avoid a lot of AoE if you play it right.

Gray out the HP for future condition damage

Yeah it’s not a mistake. I started using it on scepter when a viewer on my stream told me to try it. I had tried it before but gave it a shot again. Decided it was at least more fun than bolt to the heart and had some potential. On scepter I still think it’s a choice but on dagger I absolutely love it. Helps me run away or get in so nicely.

The super speed only works when you are running forward, which is most of the time with daggers. With scepter there is a lot of strafing so it’s not used as often.

You cannot kill a cele staff ele if he decides to kite around the point like the Blue Home in Forest.

Normally on point 1v1 should be impossible for a thief to take you down, though

You on NA or EU?

It’s not really a 1v1, roaming or tPvP build. It’s a zerg build, because you need other people to use blast finishers on your own combo fields. The weapon lacks the blast finishers needed to make use of all the combo fields the staff has and really bring out the true power of the weapon and you are forced to utilize slot skills like Arcane Brilliance and/or Arcane Wave if you want to blast yourself.

But in a zerg, it shines. Staff elems are the foundation for any zerg backline and with proper coordination of fields/finishers in TeamSpeak, they provide powerful support.

I love it and play it all the time, but if I roam in WvW by myself with a small group, I play celestial D/D.

People really wanna win so badly that they will sink low enough to use focus? Pointless even play ele if you use focus. Offhand dagger is whole point of ele.

I hope this is a joke. When you are playing a fresh air zerker build the focus is crucial to staying alive. the projectile hate makes sure you dont get insta-gibbed at range.

Not to mention how useful earth 5 is.

You should probably set the builds apart. Setting D/D and Cele Staff at the top since they are the only truly competitive builds for playing conquest, while the others like Scepter Fresh air are more for fun solo play and dont really bring anything to the team as a whole aside from short pinpointed burst.
