Guild Wars 2

Little bit of background – necro is my main, but I’ve felt the urge to play a bit of a more glass-cannon class these last couple weeks I’ve been back online. Trouble is, I haven’t put time into my Ele since before HoT and I’m not up-to-date quite yet.

I definitely plan on getting the tempest at some point – the overload attunement mechanic, shouts and traits seem good – but the staff builds for tempest don’t seem overly different than base ele staff builds.

I guess my question boils down to this:

Should I focus on getting my tempest first because it has mandatory abilities for dungeons/fractals – or will I be fine getting the elite spec slowly and playing normal staff ele for now?

For glass dmg staff ele tempest is not a must running air fire arcain will do well. (I like fresh air super speed build with this set up it will give you very different game play then a necro but you got to be on your tows at all times no death shored to save you) Tempest over all gives you def tools and def shouts with a bit of dmg from overloades and there after effect. (As things stand core ele is the best dmg for all in glass but once they add in an elite spec that is dmg aimed core ele is a dead ideal.)

This is all from the point of view of wvw i know nothing now when it comes to pve.
