I do apologize if this help is elsewhere, I’m never good with wandering forums.
What I seek is advice/aid on a build for my Sylvari Elementalist…
What I’d like as a goal is to be useful in combat in two ways. I’d like to use Staff, and when in that mode, do decent to great damage yet also, when need be, be able to heal allies. Sort of a combo of damaging and healing.
When in Scepter/Focus mode, I would like to focus on again damage, yet with these two perhaps also weakening? Such as bleeds, burns, that sort. Basically, with these two weapons be all about the murder- I mean defeating of foes.
I would also like to… you know, not die a ton when soloing PvE and teaming. Not, I’m not asking for much PvP advice, I focus more on PvE yet if a build idea could also be useful in PvP, so be it. Still, it’s all about the world and events, dungeons and the like.
Currently, this is my Armour and equipment:
Armour: Exotic Cleric’s Winged of Altruism.
Weapons: All Exotic ..Dragon Jade Quarterstaff of Water, My Scepter and Focus are Power, then Precision/+5Crit with Sigil of Fire and Earth. My trident is the Cleric’s Pearl trident of Air.
Power: 1,798
Precision: 1,497
Toughness: 1,694
Vitality: 1,257
Con Damage: 0
Boon Duration: 15%
Crit Damage: 20%
Attack: 2,909
Crit Chance: 32%
Armour: 2,614
Health: 14,215
Condition Duration: 20%
Healing: 1,069
My back item is Exotic with Heal/Precision/Vitality (Exquisite Azurite Jewel )
2 Exotic Accessories: Emerald Orichalcum Earring of the Knight (Exquisite Emerald Jewel)
2 Exotic Rings: Emerald Orichalcum Ring of the Knight (Exquisite Emerald Jewel)
Exotic Amulet: Orichalcum Amulet of the Knight (Exquisite Emerald Jewel)
If anyone has any advice on what equipment would better suit my desire, let me know. Note, I know I could use Daggers yet I prefer not to. They clash with my character concept.
I would also welcome greatly what sort of Ascended trinkets would be good for what I seek since I could use my Laurels.
Below are my traits: 20/20/0/30/0
I have Eternal Fire, Spell Slinger.. Bolt of the Heart, Soothing Winds… Soothing Disruption, Cnatrip Mastery, Soothing Wave. My Utilities are Healing Seed, Mist Form, Lightning Flash, Arcane Shield and Fiery Greatsword.
Thank you everyone who can help me. I’m simply silly and bad at these things since I feel I am slow at understanding builds and how everything works together. Also if the idea of Staff working on damage/healing and Scepter/Focus working on damage/weakening is a silly idea, let me know. I wouldn’t mind having all three be a nice combo of damaging and healing. All in all, I simply want to be able to do good damage, help healing myself/allies when I want to yet also not be a “Glass canon” as in I don’t die -that- much.
