Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if you can use the meta build for staff as well as with the S/D minus the trait for staff?

We need more information if we can actually answer this question. Are you talking about spvp? Or WvW or PvE?

If you mean the “meta” build for D/D ele in spvp, which is x/x/x/6/6 with celestial amulet and strength runes, staff can use a similar set up for disorganized play (solo Q/hotjoin) but I believe a more offensive setup is used for staff in organized groups that have better team support. For S/D the only pvp build that was ever really viable for it is the fresh air build, which is typically 0/6/0/x/x. I ran fresh air S/D for a while when it first came out but I felt kind of dismayed at how unreliable some of its burst was and by how bad the earth/water skills on the scepter were for the most part in my opinion.

I was looking at the 6/6/x/x/2 build for staff and I was just wondering if this would work for the S/D in PVE.

You lack control and aoe id think
