Guild Wars 2

in PvE i am fine but when i get into WvW or SPvP no matter what build i try i feel very weak just wondering if anyone had some advice on builds or something i should be doing

Read DaPhoenix’s D/D guide, if you still struggle after reading that then you need more practise and experience pvp’ing.

DD bunker ele is weak damage-wise. You have to outlast your enemies. Dont except to deal massive damage in a short period of time.

Try to master your dodges and attune to water as often as needed. Dont let your health drop to low. Try to avoid immobilizes. If you feel to weak use RTL defensively to disengage from combat instead of offensively.

I finished lvl my ele to 80 last night and was D/D all the way. I must say I found it very powerful in PVE. The guide by DaPhoenix is great (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Guide-Mastering-the-D-D-ele-12-20-12/first). You can chain together cross-attunment AoEs for some fearsome burst whilst stacking conditions and you have a load of stunbreaker utilities that will keep you alive.

I’d highly recommend full knight’s gear (and I mean every bit of equip, weapons and trinkets too) for D/D, staying alive to dish out the dmg is much more important with this class than trying to get the biggest crit numbers.

I know the popular build around here is 0/10/0/30/30 but I tried it myself and found it too squishy. My build is 0/0/30/20/20.

Well according to most people on the forums, D/D Ele’s are overpowered and there is a nerf incoming. So brace yourself!! As others have said, read Daphoenix’s guide and then head to the mists and practice on the target dummies and the attackable NPC’s. This way you learn rotations, managing cooldowns and how the profession will play.

Really, I want a damage buff for d/d ele and a survival nerf. d/d ele does too little damage that it better to ignore them but they cannot die

Not quite right, you can do a crap ton of damage as a d/d ele if you change gear out. Of course at that point you sacrifice survivability.

What you are proposing to do can already be accomplished via gear alone.
