Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,

I’m starting an elementalist and I’m more or less done with the theoretical preparation (that is reosonable for start). I have not made up my mind yet wether I want to go power or condi. And my question is that on my way finding out which one I prefer, should I stick to certain wepon sets or utility skills for condi/power? What I mean is… thieves go dual dagger and spam deathblossom for condi and sword/pistol for power. Engies go dual pistol, granades for condi and rifle, flamethrower, bombs for power as far as I know. So are there any weapon restictions/recommendations for elementalists? What about attunement priority? Or does chosing condi/power only effect the distribution of my damage over time (DoTs or direct dmg), but goes well with any weapon/attunement/utility?

Always power. Condi builds aren’t viable for eles.

Both are viable, but power has far more options. I play S/F bunker condi atm, and it is very strong so long as you know your skills.

A better question though is what are you planning on using this for? If for PvE, then there’s no real reason to go condi as glassy power builds can obliterate almost anything in PvE. If for WvW/tPvP, then a more balanced power build or condi build would be a good place to start.

Ty for the answers.

I only plan to use it for PvE as I prefer melee professions for PvP. So the answer is found then…
