Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing a lot of auramancer lately and while it is effective and fun , it lack the damage to do much other than support so I have an idea that I’ve been tossing around for a hybrid damage ele let me know what you think

it can’t work well imho for 2 reason : 1 water line is better than fire line. 2 ele is not a good condi spammer. the more different condition you spam , the more difficult is for your enemy to clean. In my opinion paladin power ele is better than this (old style with cantrips ) .

This is the type of build i am going for and experimented much.
BUT. Your version has some flaws which will cost you fights.

Rune: While it looks great for burning, you can´t rely on it. If you realy want a condi rune pick nightmare (duration for many synergy reasons). Otherwise soldier is still top on tempest and you will need the condi clear.

Then utilities. Arguable flash is good but in this build i pick flash freeze (extra condition chill + protection)

Traits: In earth you live and die with protection. Go for elemental shielding! Same for geomancers training. You are dead without it in current meta. Its much more valuabe than the condi damage.

so more Synergies:

Tempest: You have nothign that synergizes with regeneration and no healing power. also lower auras. Here is the trick: Go Tempestous aria. Synergizes with Nighmare duration + its another condi and team damage mitigation + might. You want to damage not heal subpar.
Unstable coduit. This build does´t need it. Pick gale song. Another synergy. And yes it fires as shout triggering also aria and it saved me a lot. Speedboost instead of stun can be top.

Try it. Maybe you are surprised ;-).

But be aware that your teamsupport suffers compared to auramancer. But it can kill a lot also in 1:1. So its more 1:1 focused.
