Guild Wars 2

So I recently got into sPVP and I really like it, even topped the leaderboards a few times here and there but majority of the time I find myself getting owned in roughly 30 seconds by pretty much every other profession, and whatever class im fighting takes atleast 30 years to down. I use the 0/10/0/30/30 D/D ogre runes, energy and blood lust on weapons. If I use anything else I die even faster. I even tried the earth variant with 10% damage at 600 range.

It may be that I just suck, which is probably the case but even with 6-7 stacks of might from combo fields I barely do any damage and have to constantly run away. Anyone have any tips…Ive watched countless videos and read I think pretty much every guide out there but its no fun getting destroyed pretty much every game.

Personally I find Ele one of the worst classes for 1v1, just my opinion. You really have to work hard to win.

This is what im running now and getting ok results. The protection really helps from the auras.

The advantage of sPvP is you don’t have to level up to roll alts. I usually don’t give this type of advice, and tend to deter others from it as well, but try some different professions. Elementalist is kinda bottom tier in sPvP at the moment, for a variety of reasons. Eventually the balancing pendulum will swing back though and we can dust off our elementalists. For now though, our burst build isn’t bursty enough and our bunker builds can’t take the condition/CC spam.

Not sure if this is what you want to hear but…out of all of the classes, personally i found elementalist to be the hardest to learn. Why? they have a small health pool and little armor…so they are extremely glassy…unlike a thief who has an iron curtain you pretty much are always in danger.
The real issue lies in that Ele’s really lack in a constant defence and their h/p pool is small so they are forced to spam healing on themselves to survive…and when your healing your damage is low/none. I am aware you can stack toughness/vitality/healing…but i was playing an elementalist as a damage dealer not a bunker.

IMO…there are two ways they can go…either make elemenalist more ranged based…to avoid they main battle…or increase survival.
