Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

As someone who mains engineer for a long time now of felt like i wanted something different in pvp. I decided to go with fresh air ele and made my own build and it feels great. Its risky but the burst feels kitten satisfying. I use scepter/focus combo. However skills will be on cooldown. I will have to autoattack for at least one or two seconds, but it feels really weak. I like the flavour of lightning arc, but its too low damage. Even water which seems the best is low.
How do you guys play with this? Any tips and tricks? Or is it just weak for everyone? I personally we should be rewarded (like an additional lighting strike) upon completing the whole cast of lightning arc.

Thanks in advance! Fvux

For me i just calmdown ,waiting for f/a pop up to use air auto atk again or try to use the other wating for f/a pop up …. rly but scepter sux for years , too many threads about it and seem like desv doesnt care about it .

This is exactly the known weakness with sceper, after a rotation you are left with auto attack and this is weak, so you fall into kitten.
I play scepter and i wait in earth. But i have a strong condition orientation. I start air, go fire then earth, put up rock barrier and fire auto attack while kiting. Then repeate rotation. Classic fresh air is not for me. I personaly find a stat mix with rampager/rabid playable with S/F but it is a hybrid. Its low burst unless the target stays in your dragon tooth :-).
Currently scepter is a bit fun weapon. I like it.

For fun try this. Air, fire, earth (wait for fire CD autobleeding foe), water — repeate air …. You gou through annything as fast as possible. Only earth is waiting for CD. So don´t start in earth or fire. Air is the best starting point you blow 4 instants then go for fire burst.

To mention: Most necros destroy this build. It has only two condi removers. You will survive condi burst but you die fast on prolonged condi aplication. Also while you hold a bit against berzerkers, you have low sustain. Kill or die. Your second rotation should finish or panic/force defence.

So this is also a risky build but can cause wide eyes :-).
In arcane its also good to take evasive arcana. I like the lower CD on arcane combined with an effect + ferocity boon.

Okat thanks for the help! Got another short question: How do you manage to get enough healing with signet of restoration? Since autoattack cast times are quite long and peolpe mainly out dps me and not heal enough.

As a S/D main, I don’t bother with Signet of Restoration for exactly that reason. I’d suggest using Ether Renewal. The condi cleanse is unparalleled and the channel time isn’t so bad since you have the extra range.

I use arcane brilliance. Eather renewal is great, but the casting time realy hurts.
