Guild Wars 2

Build link in description.

Some duels and shenanigans on a full zerk staff ele vs opponents ranging from very competent to not so much. I only included one fight vs an obnoxious build seeing as they are very long even sped up.

There are plenty of cringe-worthy panic spams of utilities, lack of needed stow weapons, and some wrongly anticipated statics (i.e., expected a leap or port to me).

I find zerker staff very fun as it keeps you on your toes and can be very punishing for mistakes (especially the 66002 variant). However, when played well it is very strong.

This was pretty awesome.

Ever consider 64004 or 46004for blasting staff? It might make it easier to land the combos with lava fonts or just to help bait out more dodges. Either way this is probably the only video that’s made me feel like goofing around in PvP again lol

ok but why are you playing on a potato????

I have blasting staff on for a few of those fights. I tend to use it more often than not. I’ll sometimes just use Fire and Earth 2 for zoning purposes if I have no way to lock someone in one. On 66002 blinds, dodges, and cc are your means of survival. An alternative could be Energy Sigil with Blasting. Although I sometimes find the smaller Static can be much easier to catch people with.

Awesome :o

I’m trying to play ele occasionally (I have something for casters from other games) but staff weakness in small scale has been putting me off. Now I might give it yet another try
have you considered Evasive Arcana? Wouldn’t bonus blast and heal/condi removal boost survi a lot?

30 in Arcana is definitely viable. However, I like the 06044 setup better personally. I do not prefer it on Staff for small scale because you’re focus is on kiting/positioning. As you may know, you can precast your Earth 2 to blast any of your fields (you have to wait a second or two before dropping Water 3 on it) or you can drop Water 5 and immediately Earth 2 and still get the blast (this works with Water 4 and Fire 4 as well). Ether Renewal is plenty of clear if you get condi bombed.
