Guild Wars 2

Actually I’ve tried many builds for S/D, starting with 0/30/0/10/30 which is too squishy in my opinion.

I also tried 0/30/0/20/20 but I don’t really see the benefits from taking 10 in arcane.
0/30/10/20/10 is also nice and I’ve been using that most of the time. But I faced some bunker guardians, and it was horrible. The burst combo has a nice damage, but guardians can easily heal to full hp, and I have to go through a long time to wait for CDs to burst again, and of course after that they would just heal again (or maybe I’m just bad at playing ele, lol).

So now I decided to change my build again. And imho I like 0/30/10/30/0 because it provides more sustain with cleansing water, which also gives vigor to replace renewing stamina. It also has 100 stat bonus to vitality and healing which is also nice.

Oh yes, currently I’m using ether renewal. As for utilities, I use lightning flash, arcane, and mist form for roaming (sometimes I switch mist form for another arcane for 1v1). And for this 0/30/10/30/0 build, I’m planning to use the standard triple cantrips for sustain and condi cleaning. But is 10 in arcane really worth it? I only like the vigor from renewing stamina. Also arcane traitline doesn’t give bonus stat. And the attunement CD reduction isn’t that great imho since I’m using fresh air I don’t find that attunement CD reduction is really necessary for fresh air builds. But that’s only my opinion of course.

And yes, I was referring to WvW builds. But any suggestions are welcome! I always like to try out other builds.

I want to know which one do you guys think is better for both WvW roaming and zerg. Thanks!
Edit: I’m focusing the build for fresh air burst.
