Guild Wars 2

sorry if it’s a long question… but really really need help

okay… so i don’t know how to build an elementalist… and when i say… i don’t know.. i mean how to combine traits + armor/runes etc… when it comes to traits… i don’t really know what i should do… for the most part i hate running slowly, so i always put points into air for the move speed skill… right now i’m air 10, and 20 for earth, water and arcana each

i have always sucked at pvp in any games i’ve played, so i never really bothered with it… i tried it today the spvp… i tried to choose weapons and accessories in the mist with vit and condition damage…. and well… i wasn’t doing any damage, and while i wasn’t killed right away… i couldn’t really kill my opponents…. -and it was always 1vs1 the few times i tried tho it pizzed me off so i didn’t try it much lol

when it comes to pve… i honestly don’t know how good i am either… i mean… mostly what i’ve been doing is AC dungeon to make gold… so that i can finally update my accessories cuz they suck…but anyways… like if i’m in a high level area playing with a friend or whatever, i sometimes think that we kill monsters at about the same speed… but sometimes i think that my friends kill them faster.. so it makes me wonder if i don’t make much damage….

so if it’s not too much of a bother, can u guys help me with building a really destructible + durable elementalist? not a glass cannon or a tanker/supporter… but u know a good mix of both…

if u could tell me how to spend the traits, what major traits i should choose, what kinda stats and what kinda runes i should use for my armors/weapons/accessories?

Stock standard bunker ele build and you will be able to kill amist all the confusion and survive.

Even if you wanna up your dmg a bit and loose some of your defensive traits you will get slaughtered and not really worth it.

However this build will give you some good ideas in the right direction.

Howdy, you might wanna try something like http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQJAoYhMmObwx4gjFAkCnEUoABjCiIK8QRROzA

I use this one http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQJAoYhMmObwx4gjEAkHnYSJjCiIK8QRROzA I have the 2nd one bookmarked, I only adjusted the first one’s trait, you can swap Arcane Shield for Arcane Wave, or swap Cleansing Fire for Lightning Flash, but I think both trait options are very good. I saw someone get like 20 stacks of might using the first build, you’d be doing massive damage, with good survivability, use Runes of the Fire or Runes of the Earth with either one if you choose to go with 1 of these builds. As long as you attunement swap on the right times you should be perfectly fine. After reading your post again, I think the first link would suit you more, but you’re free to try mine too. Only like 3 silver to refund traits, I also Knight’s armor. Armor choice is completely up to you.
