Guild Wars 2

I’m really looking to get some more action with my ele in WvW and warrior is starting to feel a little staid.
I’ve always loved mage classes and ranged aoe dps so the ele is in theory the perfect fit.

Having read through the forums it’s fairly hard to find a good WvW build so I’ve theory crafted one and wouldn’t mind a bit of feedback on it.

My main targets to increase are:

Crit chance: 42%
Crit Dmg: 68%
Health: 15,525
Armour: 2120
Attack: 3680

Pretty happy with the Armour which I consider 2k bare minimum and attack is fantastic.
Health is low but seems it’s the trade off for the class.

Anyway opinions welcome.

Zerging or small group?

Zerging pretty much so will be relying on range and dodging for defence

If you’re zerging you should go support so you can actually benefit your Zerg. Also builds don’t really matter as much in zergs but solo roaming then builds matter…

Not recommended for hammer trains.

I’ll give that last build a look, like the gist of it.
For benefiting the zerg I go classic hammer warrior as the sheer survivability and cc will outmatch anything I could offer up as an ele bar heals. This is for my enjoyment running along with zerg for aoe frivolity!

I don’t agree that builds don’t matter in zergs just synergy of builds plays a greater role than the individual skill cap.
I should’ve said I’m pretty au fait with zerging this is just a bit of side fun for aoe dps to mix it up after the endless hours of hammer bashing.

Vr in mag is famous for running 15 man dps staff eles. That is the build we use.

This is the Staff build that I have been running. It’s got good team support and good damage. I can easily keep 15 stacks of might up during a fight.
