Guild Wars 2

I’m interested in gear cause i have no idea which pieces to take since metabattle only mention this build for spvp and i wanna do some WvW roaming too.

I was initially planning to play d/d (level 75 right now) but while leveling i did some spvp and tried out both s/f fresh air and d/d and found s/f way more fun and its just suits my playstyle way better than d/d, now i wanna try roaming with it too once i hit 80 and i’ve seen people do that on streams and youtube but i honestly have no idea which pieces of gear to take so any help on that regard would be great.

Edit:Also are runes,sigils and amulet from spvp build good for WvW roaming too or should i switch it up ? If i should switch it up can you give any suggestions to what exactly i could change it ?

bump .

isn’t WvW roaming quite similar to SPvP? small scale fights, often 1v1? so you could use the same gear for WvW

im talking about armor pieces, which you dont use in spvp so i dont know which pieces to get for wvw.

but the stats are the same, just distributed along the armor pieces instead of 1 amulet…

Sigil of air is a must, the second can be fire, energy or battle. runes pack or traveler.
For the stats of armor, weapon and trinkets i’m all berserker but thats mean have 13k hp and 1800 armor, then u are so squiscy. Maybe take some piece of different stats for have 16k hp and 2k armor.
50% critical chance its good enought with this build because u will be in perma fury.
You cant stay in zerg and small fight scale are your way! This build is alla about dont be in the center of the fight and spike enemies from range

do they have separate cooldowns? they used to have shared cooldowns, but I’m not sure if they haven’t change anything…

Yes they have separated cooldown! Its changed in the aprile 15 2014 patch

ok, thank you

As a fresh air ele, I’d say it’s much better to roam wit S/D for mobility and more easier might stack. If you want to run D/F probably all glass zerk/assassin would be the way to go. If you don’t have applied fortitude, chuck in some valkyrie.

Personally I was always a proponent of Celestial for Ele for two main reasons:

1. Eles, more than any other profession use the most of all the attributed to good effect, even Healing Power when zerg diving lol.

2. Its the most nerf proof set of gear.

I’ve found over time that the easiest way to go is to get yourself a full set of Celestial armor (upgrade to Ascended when possible), keep weapons Zerk, and then mix and match trinkets for desired stats.

This way, apart from armor, you can go all zerk (even traits/attributes) for PvE and see little to no DPS loss, especially if you run Strength runes/sigil for Might uptime, and switch up trinkets to Knight or even Nomad for toughness in WvW.

It may not be the MOST optimal in every situation, but I hate having to cart around multiple armor sets. So for me, Celestial armor is the way to go.

My S/F fresh air build setup has: sigils of Accuracy+Air, full berserk armor+traveller runes, 2 assassins trinkets, rest berserker trinkets, build is 0,6,0,2,2

I would recommend full zerker for S/F ele. The survivability you gain from trying to go hybrid isn’t enough and your damage will suffer. Unless your small scale roaming (3-7 people) where you can afford to lose some damage. As an ele you’re most likely to get focussed so you should build in some minor defence (swapping a few zerks pieces for valk etc. and using an energy sigil over fire) But for solo roaming/duels and stuff, full zerks all the way.
S/F ele is pretty unforgiving especially if your full glass, and since you don’t have much experience I would say just take it easy and expect to die a lot at first. Once you learn your rotations and skills it gets easier.
