Guild Wars 2

Hi there, so i have finally decided, after 1.3k hours i am going to stay on ele, this for me is big as i have never decided to stick with a class. I run in groups of 3-5 taking on small zergs 10-15 and occasionally solo roam, i don’t want to be squishy, however i like seing big numbers and because of this i have chosen s/d. i really would love a build that would hit HARD take some damage in return and not down fast and have decent swiftness uptime which is key for kiting zergs, if anyone had any advice or builds for me that would be greatly appreciated o/

Good choice.
S/D is good for small groups.

This is a pretty generic/standard S/D build for WvW.

The celestial gear is my own personal touch. But Zerkers is fine here too.

i would go for this.Some changes can be made if you want.
Such as,swap all runes to melandru,get -dondi food and Geomances Freedom instead of Rock solid

i feel like it would get eaten up by condis

Thats why i mentioned some changes but in small group play conditions won’t be such a problem.Only immobilise.Assuming you have a condition remover in the party you will be okey.And with this build you can be tanky,have great sustain and a good burst when you unload everything.You don’t have the continues smaller bursts of fresh air build but i think its worth it if you wanna live more and do spikes periodicly.
