whats the most popular ele meta right now?
The new meta is to call everything meta even though none of it is meta, but it makes things sound cool.
The popular meta is rerolling to a new class called warrior. go to the spvp forums and read about the tiers to give you an idea on where the ele stands.
Seriously, Ele are not part of the whatever “meta” might exist.
This is an mmo forum, if someone isn’t whining chances are the game is dead.
In the recent tournaments, every profession—including the significantly nerfed Mesmer—had a showing.
Except elementalists.
0/20/20/0/30 but don’t tell anyone or anet might make rock solid a grandmaster trait again.

Just came after almost last year, back then I was running some build that stacked fury from auras..
So what’s the meta now? I heard something about lightning hammer
LH ele builds are primarily for dungeons for quite a long time now. It’s like a trying-hard zerker warrior with some sort of support role on the side. These are usually glassy S/D might stacking whores with Persisting Flames trait since it’s quite ideal for sharing those 25might stacks and almost 100% fury uptime. Then conjure LH and see crits of 5k-15k with every swing. It’s fun. You should try it out.
I do LH but without the Persisting Flames since I seem to die a lot if not specced full water/arcana and going 30/30 water/arcana is a very very versatile trait-set up for me in which I can easily switch traits on the fly depending on the situation. But that’s just me.
Staff ele semi-support works in some instances too. Staff zerker or support will always be in demand in WvW format.
In PVP, eles don’t exist.
later. It doesn’t care that I’m there.”
