Guild Wars 2

What would be better build for “roaming” on WWW, soldier’s ele d/d or celestial’s ele on staff? I’d better prefer running with meele party, but I just want to know your personal opinions, because I’m gonna craft ascended gear in few days and want to know which of those 2 setups would be better.

I’d advise you to hold off on crafting the ascended gear till after the balance patch. alot of us are regretting making our gear now because of the changes they plan on making. Anything we tell you right now may very well be rendered obsolete when that patch hits. celestial is really good for eles now, but that may be nerfed into complete uselessness when ferocity patch comes out. Seriously, just wait for a bit till the patch.

I have all soldier recipies for light armor… Can you link me this new patch nodes? And when it will be released? What exactly is going to change with ascended items?

Key point

Critical Damage:
We’re adding a new stat to the game called ferocity which affects your critical damage multiplier, similarly to how precision affects critical chance.
All existing percentage critical damage stats on gear and items will be converted into the appropriate amount of ferocity, which will then factor into your critical damage multiplier.
We expect that in the most extreme power DPS focused builds this change will account for a maximum reduction of about 10% damage.
This change will not affect PvP, as critical damage is already at a much lower value and item attributes will be adjusted in order to compensate for the changes.
