Guild Wars 2

I just started to play Guild Wars 2 and I created an Elementalist. I was wondering, is using a staff or a scepter and off-hand weapon better? Thanks for the help to whoever aids me :’D

You should carry all the weapons you can use with you. They are all useful for different situations. Staff is mainly for support in dungeons, and blasting people on walls in WvW, or tagging stuff in group events in PvE. Scepter is good for focusing damage on one target and is great at stacking might. Twin Daggers is what you’ll need for roaming around and just fighting stuff 1 on 1 be it in WvW or PvE. Focus is only really useful in a few situations at blocking projectiles but half the skills on it are currently bugged and don’t work. I’d recommend getting an invisible bag (you can buy a 15 slot one for like 70 silver) and keep all your weapons in them and switch depending on the situation. You’ll learn eventually which situations call for which weapons and switch before entering combat.

Exactly what Nikkinella said. Actually if all elementalists could read this that would make our class community much better!

Carry all the weapons indeed.

Given that, I’d say try and get used to Double Dagger. In my opinion, it’s the best weapon set to teach the basics of how to play Ele. Also, getting used to close combat is key to becomming a great player.

Thanks so much to all of you!
