Guild Wars 2

I’m new to Elementalist, and was looking for recommendations on runes and sigils for leveling my character.

I was thinking of doing Scepter/Dagger as I heard that’s a good combo to level up with.

Thanks in advance!

Runes are either dirt cheap or super expensive, I don’t know why. Some of the dirt cheap ones are actually pretty good. Rune of Earth gives you good defense and if you take 6 points in Arcana and take Elemental Attunement and Elemental Shielding you can keep Protection on you almost non stop because auras will give you protection and the protection you get lasts so long. You might as well take Earth’s Embrace with this set up for even more protection.

Rune of Rage is cheap and will help attack a lot if you have good crit damage on your gear and trait for easy access to Fury. Rune of Fire is also cheap and gives good offense.

When leveling you will be going through gear fast so no reason to use expensive runes.

For weps the Major version of sigils are always cheap so just get the Major version of the best sigils. Sigil of Bloodlust and Sigil of Force are the safest bets for increasing damage and the Major versions are always cheap.

Remember that sigils which proc on weapon swap will proc on attunement swap for an ele. If you are going for the standard fresh air s/d build you will be switching attunements a lot and might want a Sigil of Battle.
