Learn to play the piano.
I play the guitar, will that do?
Elementalist isn’t quite your ‘pick up and play’ class like ranger or warrior might be. I consider it to be one of the harder classes to learn since you have so many skills to track and it feels like you’re typing an essay in combat.
The best way I’d say is to play core ele using Fresh Air with either dagger/x or scepter/x (many people like focus for the utility and sustain. I prefer offhand dagger for the much higher damage. All personal preference). With Fresh Air you’ll be constantly switching out of air, hit a crit, switch back, repeat.
I’d say learn d/d since weaver will be a frontliner, and d/d is the closest we have currently. It will help you learn rotations and how to survive better in the thick of things. It’s really just a matter of practice and getting used to everything. Weaver will be taking it to a whole new level with more skills (though maybe not as much swapping in a short amount of time with the whole universal CD on attunements increase). Hope this helps a little. Cheers~
Thanks for the response! I know it’s a difficult class to learn, which is probably why I’ve been afraid to touch it up until this point. But on the other hand, it’ll be all the more rewarding when I do learn to play it properly.
When you say core ele, do you mean without Tempest tree? If so, what build would you recommend for d/d? Seeing as I’ll probably do sword/dagger, this feels like a good place to start.
And FWIW, I’m only interested in the PvE side of things, PvP has never really interested me
I’ve been maining necro since the launch of GW2, but I absolutely adore spellsword type classes so with the announcement of PoF and Weaver I’ve leveled up an ele and fully unlocked Tempest, but I’m very unfamiliar with the whole swapping mechanic, something that seems to be quite core to Weaver gameplay. So I was wondering if you’ve got any tips on how I could prepare myself a bit more for Weaver release (both playstyle and also equipment-wise, although I get that we have no builds for them yet)?
