i’m mostly on the ranger forums, i’m kind of new to ele pve, but a lot of professions have been putting together sinister builds that top out over zerk builds in pve. I’m wondering if something like this build would be viable, or even better, than zerk. you could run it as d/x or s/x. like i said i’m new to ele and builds so please don’t rip me a new one interwebs.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Please do not derail someone else’s thread with an unrelated topic. It’s very rude. Make your own thread.

Dagger/Dagger is a great open world set! And Dagger/Focus is a decent defensive dungeon/fractal set.

Train Fire, Air, and Arcana.
In Fire, take Burning Precision, Pyromancer’s Training, and Persisting Flames.
In Air, take Ferociocious Winds, Aeromancer’s Training, and Fresh Air.
In Arcana, take Renewing Stamina, Final Shielding, and Bountiful Power.

All Berserker everything with Scholar Runes and Force Sigil with another DPS-increasing sigil of some sort (like Air, Accuracy, Frailty, Night, or Strength).

You spend most of your time attacking in air with Lightning Whip, using other attunements as necessary. Fresh Air lets you go back to Air for more sustained damage.

Here is the DPS D/D build I have been running for a while now:

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vFQQJAoYnMICtMgNNAmNA8RgBBALCAFgDgcJvApgaT2E/kA-TxBBABYt/o8DgTAQe6BGVVlAeAAVqWxZKBDAcA8bfDgzP/8zP/8+93f/93fLFQETtA-e

It has very high burst damage as well as sustained damage.

The DPS Rotation looks something like this:

Start in Fire Attunement
Fire 3
Fire 4
Fire 5
Arcane Wave (Optional)
Glyph of Storms (Optional but should use while in Fire Attunement)
Fire 2
Swap to Earth Attunement
Earth 2
Earth 4
Earth 5
Swap to Air Attunement
Air Auto-attack until all Fire Skills are off Recharge
REPEAT

NOTES:
Blast Finishers should be used in Fire Fields when available

Arcane Wave and Arcane Blast should be used off cooldown while a Fire Field is up to give 3 Might and 12 seconds of Fury (due to Persisting Flames Trait)

Glyph of Storms should be used off cool down in Fire Attunement (more DPS)

Conjure Fiery Greatsword should be used for skipping mobs or for general increased mobility around the world.

This build is extremely glassy but the idea is to get in, deal as much damage as possible and then get out out as quickly as possible.

Hope this build is helps.
PM me if you want any advice.
