Ele PvE "best dps" build help
What you need to do for your group (stack might/fury/vuln) determines what build you use. Check out my guide (the link’s in my sig, and it’s also stickied) to figure out the highest-DPS build based on what your group needs.
I think I did a pretty good job explaining everything in the guide; however, if I missed something or didn’t explain something clearly, please tell me in this thread and I’ll reply. Maybe update the guide too, based on your feedback

EDIT: oh, you edited your post saying you saw my guide. Great!
In regard to the food, I know Sweet&Spicies and Butternut Curries are expensive; for pug’ing, I use Griffon Egg Omelet’s and dungeon potions (or the lvl 60 prec pots for AC). Griffon Omelets were only a few copper back when I bought them, so I loaded up; I dunno what they are now. Dungeon pots are really cheap too, even the Powerful ones, so you might as well stock up on them.
The gear differs based on which build you use. I have a full set of assasins/scholars, and full set of zerk/scholars, so I just switch out pieces of armor based on what build I’m running atm. My third set is assassins/might durations; I haven’t bothered to get a zerk/might duration set, since I only use might durations while pug’ing.
Unless your group is already: maxing out might, keeping perma fury, and maintaining maximum vuln, you shouldn’t use Build A , the one with the Staff in my guide. You ought to use a s/f LH build, or s/d LH if you prefer that (although s/f is more effective; watch that s/f rotation vid I linked in my guide).

thats what i was trying to avoid, didn’t want to waste gold on 2x scholars set since I’m tryin to save up.. but i guess it cant be helped. might duration might actually be a good idea and i’ll check it out when i can.
I will try out S/F and see how that works for me. i actually didnt see the vid you had posted, i guess my only problem with scepter was that its hard to position tooth unless you have a target to use it on (you did a good job showing how to do that too). And yes, I’m using the ‘best build’ based on what I think my group would need..just that I’m surprised there are so many builds since I’m used to playing my war which only has one meta build

Warrior has more than one meta build, most warriors are just bad and run the easiest option.
If you don’t want to go Scholar you can just run Ruby Orbs. They are much cheaper and the damage difference is only about 6% IIRC. It’s big enough to warrant the switch from a minmax perspective but not if it’ll break your bank in the process. You are better off spending the money on making an ascended staff for when you run staff builds, or on a few stacks of decent consumables. I like to get a stack of Candied Dragon Rolls on every character, it costs you maybe half a gold to get a stack (I dunno the current going price) and it’ll last you pretty much forever. If even that’s too expensive get Blackberry Pies instead.
