Guild Wars 2

Hey all, I know d/d or s/d would be better to use whilst leveling, but idk, when I think of Elementalist, I think of staff. I’ve just hit lvl 50 on my ele, and up until now have been running alone with my d/d build, but want to change it up. I’m going to try and always have at least 1 person with me while leveling, but more than likely I’ll end up running solo like I have been thus far if no one’s around.

That said, can someone suggest a leveling build (and build in general) for staff, that utilizes “attunement dancing” like d/d builds? I’d also not like to go completely bunker if possible. Probably sounds a bit odd, but I’m trying to form what in my mind seems like the “prototypical” elementalist, whilst still being effective in PVE and WvW.

Heal — Quick Glyphs when you don’t need condition clears, Ether Renewal when you do.

Traits — most of the following (can’t get ’em all):

Cleansing Wave in Water
Quick Glyphs in Air
Internal Fire and Pyromancer’s Alacrity in Fire
Elemental Attunement and Blasting Staff in Arcane

Elite — Elementals

Utility:

Elementals
Glyph of Storms
Arcane Wave

I picked dual-purpose utilities, because both damage and defense in Staff are questionable.

Power and defensive stats on your gear.
