Guild Wars 2

Hi
Well recently I’ve been playing quite a bit of WvW with all of my classes, Guardian and Thief, the last one I want to try is my Elementalist

The thing is, Elementalist for WvW Roming has to be with D/D Bunker build right? Staff for roaming doesn’t even come to my mind (how would that even work) and S/D I don’t even know, because I’ver never used this weapons together.
Well then my main problem now are these 2: I’ve never seen any of this bunker builds, since I’ve allways played with Staff, and I have some Ascended Gear, an Amulet and 2 Acessories with Knight stats, because I used those with my previous Staff build (that I have now changed and no longer use Knights) and I didn’t want to get rid of them, unless I really know that I’ll not use them ever again.
Since I’ve never seen any bunker build, do you guys know any of these build that would work with at least 3 pieces with Knight stats?

S/D is a more burst focused build I must say. Also to me our days of bunkering are over (others might say no). The old bunker build is 0/10/0/30/30 or 0/0/10/30/30 with MAX PTV gear but with that setup you do trash damage. IMO you should have both defensive gear and offensive gear. Also experiment with your traits a bit. If you want to know, I run with this build http://intothemists.com/guides/953-glass_cannon_dd_arcane_roaming_build

this, +1, or you could run some hotw spend some money on TP and get this kind of gear.

Precision/vitality-healing power(major). i run 30 in air, 20 in water 20 in arcana. get full prec/vit-heal gear for all trinkets and all your gear. then run zerk weps with blood sigils and run lifesteal food. I come out with 50% crit chance and 50% crit damage with about 19k health. i hit hard enough to assume im not a bunker, and i survive kitten i really shouldnt survive. play around with it, but the key is finding a mixed set. eles can pull off condi, definately, but its way too hard/complicated for a casual gamer. stick to crit builds for an ele. we already hard enough as it is to play, dont make it harder, lol

This the build I run for anything roaming and it works really nice for me.

Good survivability with the 1.8k toughness, and at 1.4k vitality I have enough health to get condis off without melting and to also survive long enough with my heals. With 2k power, 3k attack, and 40% crit change (make sure you have 25 stacks)/51% crit damage I am able to put really good damage on a target while surviving in most outnumbered situations. D/D ele can be really amazing if played with the right skill, however it’s not for everyone.

I liked that build, and I can still use one of my ascended items
Does the build work in PvE with Scepter? And in WvW does it work with Scepter too? i’ve been curious about a S/D combination also beside D/D but idk how viable it is in WvW, being in roaming or zerg

in the past Elementalist has been a decent roaming class, now it’s just the shadow of its former self.
