Guild Wars 2

Right now I’m running knight’s armor, two major runes of melandru for more toughness and less condition affliction, four major runes of water (couldn’t use two others, barely any money and I had extra runes) (rare, can’t afford exotics; cept for weapons) and knight exotic daggers (battle and bloodlust), with Po/Pr/To jewelry, bezerker amulet…..I got 1617 power, 1757 toughness, 1743 precision (43% chance to crit), 13,192 max health…..I got max Jewelcrafting, but that hasn’t helped at all yet lol. I’ve kinda just farming around the veteran chains and doing world bosses, now I want to do WvWvW and have no idea the kind of gear i need, or what my role is supposed to be for D/D. Any help would help. I just want to be able to stand a chance against other players, I ain’t even sure if I’m able to do that right now, someone said I am, but i don’t know.

Thats tough to say man. If you are going berserker s/d might be better. D/D plays much better in group combat. You could run 20 in earth and get the stabilty on earth trait to give allies 3s of stabilty. I like to go 30 into water and run aura share and then go 10 into earth and run protection on aura. This gives all my allies 5s of protection. Going bunker might be the best bet in this situation. It is possible to get really high numbers with berserker stats as a dagger ele, but the skill level is very high.

This is what im running at with.

SOme modifications from last week

DnD build btw 0/10/0/30/30

I would recommend to increase your health to at least 17-18k and forget about so much toughness. Here is my build, it is kinda berzerker with the minimum to survive just well:

I use it for zerging with my guild and roaming with friends. And it work very well for me.

Hate to break it to you, but you’re not going to have fun in WvW as a D/D ele. That build has just been nerfed too much. Any decent player you run into 1v1 will likely kill you or force you to run away. Either way you’re probably not going to kill them. Find a group in WvW and run with them, leave the soloing to the Thieves, Mesmers, Warriors, Guardians, Necros, and Rangers. happy gaming.

no condition removal in a condition meta…gg

you can try the following built for raoming and small scale combat:

runes can be switched for superioir runes of divinity(more dmg, less support)
signet of restoration for ether renewal(to outrun nekros and mesmer)

if you hit your combos and dont fight more than 2 enemies at once(neither of them can be a good mesmer or nekro) you wont have any problems. also you will be able to jump into coordinated enemy groups and survive the retaliation burst while supporting your melee train.

have fun

I do have condition removal: Cleansing wave and Evasive Arcana in water

You’d say “That’s only 2 conditions removed!! That’s not enough”. I say If you get more than 3 conditions that deal damage (burning, poison, bleeding, confusion and torment) at the same time you are either fighting more than 2 guys, you are just not dodging well enough or zerging.

If you are zerging guardians are the responsible of removing conditions.

I haven’t really had many problems with conditions. I also have to say I usually go roaming with at least 2 more eles with the same build. We support each other and synchronously attack enemies. We have managed to defeat up to 10 guys when being 5 of us.

Now if you do the math each of us has 2 skill that remove conditions to us and five more allies, that’s 10 conditions removed along the battle or at the same time, while healing.

Think what you want, this game is not made for playing solo, it is made to play in groups.
