Guild Wars 2

just need to ask me fellow eles wat skills i should get atm lvl 6 ele just started if some 1 could help me out would be great ^^

I presume you mean utilities?
Signet of restoration, arcane blast, signet of fire and glyph of lesser elementals with elemental elite. These are core skills for lvling. Some use arcane wave as well but low range on it…
Signet of air doesnt stack with air traits so forget it. Tornado is utterly useless and same goes for conjured weapons. Waste points on them when you have skills that are worth it already.

All 3 Cantrips (Armor of earth, Mist Form, Lightning Flash), Earth Signet for immobilize, and maybe the Arcane Skills (Arcane Wave for sure). The rest are pretty worthless.

For lvl 6? He’s lvling… cantrips are worthless there. PvP is another matter tho…

I’m assuming that’s he’s trying to prioritize which skills to purchase as he levels

if he’s planning on heading to WvWvW at any point in the near future he’ll want them for certain.

Best skills are cantrips, signet of earth, signet of restoration, glyph of lesser eles, glyph of eles, arcane shield and arcane wave. Each has strengths and weaknesses, and uses beyond the apparent in both PvE and PvP. Lightning Flashing during Churning Earth can guarantee hits in PvP, while Arcane Shield during it can land it in PvE without dying.

Glyph of Eles/lesser eles can give you some meat shields in PvE, while Glyph of Eles is the only elite worth using (outside of Tornado ONLY for stability – cancel it immediately after casting), and Glyph of Eles can provide extra damage, healing or CC in both areas.

Arcane Wave can be used as burst, and for combo finishers. Using it with staff and water fields offers an extra AoE heal, while using it with Ring of Fire in daggers gives you 3 extra AoE Might stacks for more damage.

yea just as i lvl trying to figure out wat skills to get so i wont be like horrible lvling up

Personally, I like Glyphs. I use Glyph heal and Storm Glyph with Quick Glyphs most of time. However, I would say the most important skill for a leveling Ele, or any ele, is Arcane Shield. That skill has saved me more times than I can remember. It is great to give you time to use your heal after a big hit or if your get stunned/knockdown. Arcane Wave is another great one I use a lot for Comboing. For leveling, things will probably be easy enough to use Signets too.
I’d say get Arcane Shield first. Then get Signets that interest your, or just all of them. Then Glyph of Storms if you like nuking. Then Arcane Wave. Then Lesser Elemental Glyph. Then just skills as you can afford them/if they seems intresting. Although if you’re going right after a legendary you may want to save up points.

Also don’t forget to save for an elite. As for Elites, I only use Elemental now. I hate Tornado, but you need it for Whirlpool. I did love the Greatsword, but only before I hit 80.

id say glyphs too.
For convience consider getting 20 points in air to get the air trait 8.

air trait 8 will double the healing glyphs utility power. gives a a 20 sec run buff all by itself. combined with air staff its an easy perma run buff. 10 points in arcane for the atunment bonus with give 30secs of run buff just by switching to air and enabling the healing glyph.

Glyphs last longer in general. signets are good too in particular the signet of fire.

If you have fighting tough content you must have mist form. likely you take mist form any way and just get used to using it as damage immunity is damage immunity.

so i guess i would go with
healing glyph.
glyph of elemental power
arcane shield
mistform.
20 points in air.
10-15 points in arcane.
rest in water for group friendliness.
then bump precision/toughness/vitality.

However PvE content is just easy. there really is not much of a concern to spec right.
Fight higher level content to hone your edge and do the ac dungeon.

if you want to try a weapon then replace arcane shield with the axe. its my favorite currently.
lightning hammer is a little too melee but has come cool effects.

I never used arcane shield in PvE, so it’s not so important =). I prefer armor of earth as defense skill and signet of restoration for heal (defensive spec).
So there are several variants. I think, one of important skills is arcane wave – good damage (especialy at low levels in PvE) and combo field activation. But some people don’t use it.
@Lordryux
At low levels I’ve used arcane wave and signet of fire (for crit chance) most time. After 21 level (when you get gear with 2 stats and good crit chance) I’ve used arcane wave (damage and combo activator) – lightning flash (good for churning earth, escape and regeneration proc from water trait) – armor of earth (very good skill to prevent interrupt when casting churning earth and just good defense) untill 80 level and use these skills now most time. But I use only D/D (except WvW and dungeons), for other weapon skill set may be another.

All 3 Cantrips (Armor of earth, Mist Form, Lightning Flash)

There are 4 cantrips :P, cleansing fire.
