Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’ve been messing around trying to find an alternative to the standard (and most viable) cantrips ele build. I just played a couple games with this build —

and found it to be relatively successful. However, it still doesn’t feel more useful than the standard build. The only things it brings to the table that are unique are the ability to give an enemy a perma-condition (perma-weakness is pretty great!) and a shorter cooldown on elite. It seems like it would be a slightly stronger roamer but weaker bunker. That being said, most of my success came from people not cleansing my conditions as they assumed I was power based like most eles :P

I’d really like to come up with some more viable alternatives for the Ele. I actually really enjoy the standard build but it would be great to discover more options.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

You gonna need way more condi dmg :p
try 30 in earth
Also for condi builds you might wanna try out scepter

Yeah, I certainly discovered this haha.

I switched to Scepter and a Valkyrie amulet and found far more success, keeping the Glyph of Storms for air to keep a constant weakness debuff while attacking from range. It seemed like it put some really nice pressure on anyone being attacking by a bursty build, like a thief or warrior. Still not as good as cleric’s bunker, but was not a bad alternative!
