Hello, i would like a staff ele build with the best possible survivability, while also being able to do some nice damage, be it condition or power.
Any exact build with trait names and gear?
Thanks for the advice.

I’m using this on my Ele http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFEQFAWnMIOIqwhwhVOMOwuhuB8RcJOABgQO5xohbEYxodA-ThSBwAUUCu5ACsTlCpK/upiSnLAww9H1BQpjwh5PAPIAA-e
Rune of the Ogre is because I couldn’t find anything better for a cheap price (it’s not my main character).

pvp or pve? wvw? What will you be doing with your staff build? Why pick staff? What do you need to be able to survive? What is your preferred play style? Do you dodge alot?

Ah yea, mainly PvP and WvW roaming.Well i want to be able to survive as much as possible while also being able to get some damage as i said.Ofc i dodge a lot, everybody dodge i believe And i pick the staff simply because i like to play with it more than with daggers or focus.

I’m tinkering with a Signet staff build right now for sPvP (though not tPvP) and WvW but I haven’t gotten all the kinks ironed out I don’t think.

I’m a really horribad player so it’s taking a while but I’ll link it here when I get some video footage uploaded so it’s easier to see how it works. That and I could use some tips on my gameplay.

I’m curious.. would a staff ele hybrid (power/condi) build be viable? Mainly for sPvP and WvW, not any kind of serious tPvP or anything like that. Casual PvE stuff.

Looking at skills, permanent Burning is possible and staff hits like a truck but it’s skills are insanely slow. I’m sure this type of role would be better suited for d/d but since I really enjoy staff I thought I would ask here.

I thought of using something like 4/2/6/0/2 for auras on signet use with Written in Stone, but maybe signets for utilities isn’t the way to go. Maybe going more into Arcane and getting evasive arcana might be better.

Am I just wasting time you guys think? Is staff still only good for bunker/zerker?

I’d go with the standard 02066 celestial staff build, same traits as with the standard D/D build only you take blasting staff and you’ll definately need sigil of energy since you won’t be having the renewing vigor trait.
