Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m trying to get to grips with ele and I’m trying to get the might stack rotation down (doesn’t matter what weapon set, I have them all) and I’d really appreciate a step by step guide of what skills/attunements to use, if it’s not a huge hassle.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there! Proper Might Stacking rotations for D/F elementalist should be:

Fire#3, Fire#2, Fire#4, Water#3, Water#2 (if needed), earth dodgeroll (if needed), earth #3, earth#2, earth#3 again (to cancel the aftercast of earth#2), air, repeat!

Be sure to be able to do all of this without the firefield expiring. Also, Earth#4 should be used more for condi cleanse or reflection than might stacking.

Scepter/ Dagger Might stacking combo:

Switch to fire > Dragon Tooth > Ring of fire > Phoenix > Switch to earth > Dodge roll inside the ROF > Use Arcane blast simultaneously (for extra might) > earthquake > The Churning earth (churning earth will give might when it finishes) > Switch to fire

Please note that with sigil of battle, you should be easily at 20+might stacks with the above mentioned combo. You could also use Arcane brilliance for extra mights but I repeat be sure to be able to do all of this without the firefield expiring.

Hope it helps. Feel free to ask more

First write what weapon/s are you using

Very helpful, thank you. Is there a particular trick to getting dragon’s tooth to cast close to you? I was told to look at the ground while casting it but that doesn’t seem to accomplish anything

Out of battle might stacking

From there you would equip your weapon set that you’re bringing into battle.

You’re very welcome!

As for DT though, it’s sometimes hard to land it without a target. You have to either point all the way up or all the way down. It might be dependent on the terrain and you have to make sure your character is really aiming up or down (you can check by firing projectiles like ice/stone shards). Moving while doing this seems to be more failproof. The dragon tooth / Comet will drop a bit in front of you, but easily near enough to catch it in a ring of fire. I find the flamewall to be harder to aim at or cast at the right position to catch the blast. I rarely used focus though, so it’s likely easier with more practice.

Btw, if you like, watch this video of mine for some DPS combos:

can anyone offer a beginner’s guide for D/D might stacking? Is it similar to D/F steps above?

He will tell you best defensive rotation and best might stacking rotation.

Also try strength and battle sigils, with some kind of might/boon duration rune; traveler, fire,hoelbrak or strength. I use trav for all purpose WvW/PvE, just i never lose those stacks easily, in pve i’m always sitting at 25 stacks. Also boon duration food and oil helps too
