Guild Wars 2

I’m a newb and would like to know what the best stats to build for pvp are. I’m planning on mainly using scepter/dagger.

Toughness/Power/Vitality (in that order, you only need enough Vitality to not get bursted)

Learn to keep yourself healed up and play a fairly defensive spec (ie. 20+ Water, 20+ Arcana).

I would say tough heal power and power. you want to be good at pvp you pretty much need a lot of heal power. The only thing we do better than other class is long kitten regen health and boon duration.

Buffer is more important than Regen outside 1 v 1 fights. Against focus fire buffer is what allows you to get away. Regen only kicks in after you are no longer focused down.

I’m a fan of the Valkyrie Amulet with a Rampager’s Jewel. High power, good healing and crit damage, some toughness and a little precision. A nice balance of offense and defense.

Celestial jewel is also fantastic for Elementalists. For most builds, that’s sub-par. If you’re direct damage, you have no use for condition damage. If you’re condition damage, you have no use for crit damage or power. If you’re an offensive spec, +healing is barely going to help. If you’re defensive, you probably want fewer points spent on damage.

However, Elementalists are the one class that will always have healing skills, direct damage skills, and condition damage skills. Our heals also scale really well with healing power. A Celestial Amulet combined with the right traits can make you a fantastic jack-of-all-trades, a player who is decent at everything. That’s how I like to play.

cleric amulet with high toughness . I do plenty of damage with not even might stacking gear. I ply s/d trick is to place your ae where people WILL be rather than where they are.
