Guild Wars 2

This could be considered helpful to many, maybe not. I’ve found that my skill in pvp/wvw suffered for 2 reasons.

1. I spent too much time in the same attunement
2. My attunement swap was easily noticed

I strongly advise everyone to find Dapheonix’s youtube channel and see what he does because I got the idea for problem 2 from him.

The first problem is simple; get used to swapping attunements at least every 3-5 seconds.

the second problem is the one I really want to address though. Most elementalists are using the air then fire then earth/water rotation. Its used so much that most classes will know whats coming based on what they see you attune to. Now, if you watch some of Dapheonix’s later youtube videos watch when he switches his attunements. He does it on primarily 2 occasions. Either in the middle of a dodge, or right after some type of pbAoE. The dodge makes attuning a bit more unpredictable and its harder to nice because of the movement. I’ve also found attunement swap is harder to notice on pbAoE because it serves as somewhat of a distraction. Couple these two with constant movement and suddenly you have unpredictability in how predictable you are. Try it and see.

Feel free to comment and say how lame of a tip this is. =P

“nice” is actually see lol

its just the different between playing a fotm ele with few basics and playing an ele as it should.

There is a reason why he uses attu swap like that and the reason is to not waste time….

If you are rolling you are not attacking so its the best moment to swap.

Also if you are channeling you can swap to water to heal/cleanse without interrupting the channel .

Finally i don t think reasoning with fulx diagrams can work in a game….

FIxed rotations are to learn basics….once u havethem u use what u need having CD in mind…

I’ve just found that he was way less noticeable on his attunement swaps then most elementalists I have seen.
