well in wvw I always come across this annoying elementalist, not quite sure what build but at first they seem really squishy but then are massive in damage and barely damageable.
I’m a d/p thief and the only 2 things I mostly have problems with is guardian and eles, is there a strategy to beating this ele build?

I use a lot of C&D on them because it appears to me, that their massive heals have quite a big cooldown (I’m not sure though, never played ele). Once they go into zerker mode (Lots of damage with flames and stuff) you backstab them and they go down quite alright. I agree though that it is pretty annoying to fight them and the fights can last for ages.

1. Watch the Ele
2. Wait for Ele to swap out of water attunement
3. Burst

*When in Water Attunement they have more access to defense.

This is if you are not S/D and don’t plan on stealing the boons he will get in Water Attunement

Well, the idea is that if you can steal his protection, regen and might stacks, he will fold like a wet noodle. S/D easily accomplishes this. You should also save burst for right after he swaps to water, that will help you win too.
