Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

I have done a pretty decent job at creating a staff-wielding support ele with some decent healing power and I have some concerns. I find that it’s pretty decent for dungeons as I can stack regens and cleanse conditions, but that’s about as much as I can do.

Should I pick my exotic gears uniquely on their healing stats, i.e 6 pieces with +healing, or should I mix in some gears that add extra toughness?

I also find that my damage output is terrible and it takes me forever to kill enemies. I try to switch over to D/D when I want to kill things but I am terribly squishy…

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I used to use a full exotic clerics elementalist and it was so incredibly tanky. I would always be the last one standing in dungeons with Sigil of energy (A MUST HAVE) and evasive arcana I would heal so much. Considering the strongest spell on staff for an ele is eruption, however it takes a few seconds. However with the full clerics set I had lots of power and used undead runes to convert all that 5% of that toughness to condition damage.
