Well buddy, you’ve picked up a spectacular class.. I myself play ele quite a bit atm and im having no trouble going solo or group play. Ill paste in the build i use from my guilds website. Its really durable and doesnt have too many counters but im sure you will work it out.. find everything i know below in the spoiler part.


Weapon(s)

My preference for weapons is D/D with a sigil of bloodlust and perception on each. This allows for up to 25 stacks of +10 precision and power.

Also having a staff is not a bad idea, when spec’d for group play the staff offers a lot of healing skills running the water trait.

Armour

Full exotic armour with sup. Scholar runes to boot, worth every bit of money.

Accessories

Full exotic Cavalier’s on all 6 pieces, slotted with Ruby Orbs. You could go full berserker, and you would squeeze out some more damage, but this ensures that your healing power and toughness from your traits are supplemented with enough toughness to shrug off the minor hits with your self sustaining health recovery.

Think of it like this: Is that extra crit chance going to off-set staying at 20% damage bonus for being over 90% health more often? Totally depends on the encounters and player skill. Its a toss up in my opinion, but I like a bit of toughness.

Consumables

You have the power, what you need is crit chance and damage. Get Master Maintences Oil and Bowl of Curried Butternut Squish Soup for maximum crit. Our increased Vitality and Toughness help give a bit more here as well, so its actually quite a good synergy.

Skills

6 – Signet of Restoration
7 – Arcane Wave
8 – Conjure Lightening Hammer
9 – Signet of Fire
0 – Conjure Fiery Greatsword

Arcane wave can be changed out for something like Armour of earth or lightening flash for an ohh crap im about to die moment or Signet of air for a passive 25% increase in run speed.

Traits

Also, to add another note.. The “major event” screen should list the events like “The Maw”, “Shadow Behemoth” etc and then once clicked on that should show all events leading up to the main event..

Downloaded. So far so good.. Currently the “options” menu doesn’t work. Also the “major events” one that’s on the screen shot page does not show up..

Does pretty good.. however the list that it creates is huge.. possibly consider after the “select server” menu have a “select zone” menu to narrow down the findings.

Playing an inferior pve class

You could go mes or warrior.. do your zerk runs in 6 mins or so… But why bother? Personally our guild can run through CoF P1 in about 7-8 mins with running all different classes.. most commonly 2 guards, an ele, an thief and a warrior.. Then when done, rotate around to another character and do the same thing.

The game is more about having fun rather than being picked on because you’re not the right class to do a certain run..

Difficulty Scale vs Reward Level - Fractals

Your personal level increases at the end of the 3 or 4 fractal’s. Quitting half way doesn’t advance your personal level.

This is pretty cool and easy to work with. I have tried to have a play around in a copied version and have realized that i’m not really good at the coding side. But i do have a few suggestions.

1. Pre event’s leading up to and including the main event.

2. The above with the ability for the events to sit in order of progression.

3. Have all events relating to the main event listed under their own headings.

Finding the status of the Orr Temples

I believe that if you look up the temple events string and copy and find the even in the main web page you can look to the far right for the event status. If its to say something like “success” would mean the temple should be uncontested.
