Guild Wars 2

Sorry if posted before but I’m having a lot of trouble dealing with good dagger eles.

I have tried having all speed like +10 per illusion plus focus. Also having a lot of cripple from clones and greatsword but I still can’t catch up to them. It seems like good eles can always escape at will and there is nothing you can do about that. Also conditions don’t affect them much as their heal removes all conditions.

So those are my problems what methods do you use to deal with good eles?

Dagger eles are a shadow of their former selves. If you can’t catch up to them now that ride the lighting is on a 40 sec CD when it doesn’t land a target, you’ll have no hope. If they summon their fire GS to escape, you’ll never be able to catch them at all. Greatsword is also a weak pvp weapon in general, and without a staff you’ll be kinda easy to kill if your build doesn’t have strong defenses.

Anyway, ether renewal the cleanse all condi heal, is incredibly easy to interrupt as the channel is like 3-4 seconds and the animation is obvious. Eles are most vulnerable when leaving water attunement, and if theyre specced to go back into it after 9 seconds they probably can’t deal too much damage to you. S/D builds are more of a threat due to hard to dodge air burst, but dodge their fire and earth burst combos and they have nothing.

Taking something that can interrupt ride the lightning is important to being able to catch a dagger offhand ele. If you let rtl go the full distance, they are very difficult to catch.

Oh yeah! I know from personal experience that getting immobolized right before activating RtL is basically instant death for eles. Too bad we only really have one short immobolize.

you can use the trait the an interrupt immobilises the target which is awesome vs ele
i have not troubles with this build so far:

With ease. They arent a challenge. They go zerker and all you have to do is dodge an attack/stealth and then they are kittened. They go bunker and they wont have the damage to kill you but they also wont be able to deal with your damage so best for them would be a draw and finding the closest zerg or tower.
