Sorry PvE'ers
PvE Player: If you don’t wear armor, it can’t be damaged when you get killed… WOHOO – NO MORE REPAIR COSTS !
by the way, I think the WvW subforums are a better place to post this.
they had armor, they all just run derker berker.
sure I will believe you when you show said enemy player is a high level player and not some poor uplevel toon. I have landed 9k meteor easily on upleveled players who couldnt even scratch half my hp. I was as naively happy as you are now and added them to the party, only to find out that they were lvl 20 and lvl 18.
Dont delude yourself, anyone can hit that hard [on upleveled people

Just a couple minutes ago 2 friends and I jumped this staff ele who was hanging around like 15-20 people we literally went in, kitten ed around until mist form and stomped.
Funny thing is one of their thieves used SR but the silly ele started to attack us. Shame couldn’t get the stomp off because every AoE in the game came our direction. Guys, staff just makes you a big shiney target for bored people. Atleast equip lightning flash or mistform so you can run away into keeps.

Yeah, I’ve tried about a thousand different ways to make staff work in wvw and have yet to find anything effective. It’s best to run a different weapon set there

Staff works poorly as a SOLO weapon on WvW. It’s great when running with the zerg (though that playstyle isn’t my cup of tea personally).
.. but yes, you should still really run a stunbreak and have access to stability.

Full zerker produces some nice numbers when your team stacks might on you and you have 25 bloodlust stacks and a very offensive build and use tornado to boost your stats for a few seconds – but man, this usually requires some good teamplay on your side and is certainly not for everyone. Posts like this make guys like the one in the link go into WvW with paper armor and 11k hp and play rallybot for 5 guys that had friends with armor on.
To cut a long story short – please feel ashamed and such.
Zerker is fine so long as you know your limits and don’t mind occasionally getting murdered by some unavoidable burst. I play zerker s/d in our small man roaming group, floating in and out of the fight to pick off important targets. Ele has a lot of defensive mechanics built into the class which can greatly mitigate the weaknesses of low armor and health.

mfw I didnt think of turning on tornado for Meteor Shower extra damage.
brb, gonna go do a 3 hours WvW queue to see if I get a chance to do this and not disconnect midway of it
