Guild Wars 2

and i have no clue what to do in pvp, i just get slaped around by everyone melees trains me all day and the others not that hard but god im not sure what to do to survive/kill ppl,
i tried staff and s/d but i cant accomplish nothing….

also whats the point reaching 80 when i can full pvp at lvl 1? O.o dont get it

I would really suggest starting with D/D in pvp.
It will take some time to get used to not blowing all your cooldowns until you need them and switching attunements but that comes with the territory of playing a class with a (if not the) high(est) learning curve

Starting out I’d suggest playing the standard 0/10/0/30/30 and then changing traits or moving 10 points around depending on your play style.

As to the leveling, if you solely want to spvp on your ele, then yes, there is no point to play pve content besides becoming accustomed to weapon sets in a non-competitive environment

If you’re talking wvw, then there is a point. If you enter at 80 all your stats will be scaled up, but they might not fit your play style, or mirror the stats you would be more comfortable with on your gear as an 80 coming in.

Also, you wouldn’t have access to your 3 utility skill slots, or your elite slot. You would also have no traits, giving yourself quite the disadvantage when playing a level 80 toon from another world.

whats better to learn to play D/D S/D staff? im seeing ppl calling D/D a hard spec others facerole i dont know what to belive

I am nowhere near an expert, but from what I hear, D/D is easier and more forgiving in PvP. In the popular build, you have a ton of healing power, so once you get down the rotation you will have to much healing that you can survive kitten near anything.

I’ve also been told that Staff isn’t a very good weapon in PvP, that it shines more in WvW. S/D seems to be do-able in PvP, but mostly by people who know the class inside and out, and know how to make it work.

If you want to learn the class, I suggest reading these two threads (links incoming). It may be helpful to play the class in PvE to 10-20 or so, just so you can get familiar with all of the abilities on all the weapons. Be warned, this is a LOT of reading.

I’d say try out the different weapons a bit and decide yourself! I played with staff for a long time before actually testing D/D, and I regretted it since I found D/D so much fun.

The real point is to try a few things and learn what works, and why it works. Then you can figure out what you really want to do and make something that fits your playstyle.
