Guild Wars 2

english is not my first language but really this build is useless vs a good player, not enough dmg to kill a balanced build and yet not enough defensive cooldown to really tank them ,compred to focus and staff build

and u dont have enough condition removal in ur build imo… just relying on water swapping attunement and cleansing flame cant win vs a good condition dmg class

@da phoenix what do u mean with d/d ele have too many gap closer ?

ride the lighting ? the ranger or thieves can simply use the skill that leap the backward,and for ranger, knocked u back.

in my experience vs a good pistol/dagger shortbow thieves and ranger, they can just kited u to death, all u can do is ride the lighting to run*,

if u try to use ride the lighting for gap closser, tooo easy for them to react with leapbackward or knockback skill, once ur ride the lighting cooldown, ur a sitting duck vs their range attack

and if ur fighting a noob thieves its soo easy to predict their movement, vs a good thief,

u will looks like a kitten casting aoe or running while they move back and use their

shortbow or pistol

u can outlast a burst build 1 vs 1 and finally can kill them in 5 minutes because u have

low cond dmg and medium power without crit, but vs a balanced thief and ranger, u
simply cant kill them man and in the end the will outlast u,

i dont even want to imagine u fighting a good necromancer and pistol enginering or guardian with lots of condition dmg, u have no chance by 1… and without water 30, u can only remove condition with ur cleanse flame and when u change to water

i just dont get this build, if u really want to play tank ele, cond damage is much2 better than trying to use power,

because cond dmg dont neeed crit and crit dmg, power u need to HIT the target first(thats a big IF u hit ur combo or they dont use stunbreaker or they dont u know…dodge ur updraft)
and without crit and crit power they dmg will be meeeeeeeh……and u dont really have high sustain dmg without high cond dmg…..

imo i think this is a good build

but not enough killing power b yourself and not enough healing power to tank them all

its just a relly durable build with ok attack and good running power and can do a good job vs a burst build but cant really do anything vs a balance build

meh stupid build, a power build without a crit dmg and only relies on fury ??

u cant kill kitten without ur friend, and cant even kill other decent player 1 vs 1, u better use staff than using dagger/dagger for kitteny dmg

1 more question, what can u do vs a *decent*ranger and decent thief that switch weapon to shortbow ?? absolutely nothing beside running with ride the lighting

dont tell me ride the lighting and updraft lol, a decent ranger/thief will never get hit by that
