if you are running a dps staff build you should be running lightning rod too. Even if you aren’t running lightning rod it will trap opponents in your meteor cast
Ive been running bolt to the heart, I figured 20% dmg at <50% would add up to more than lightning bolts through the duration of a fight, but Im certainly not attached to it
Goo to know, thanks for the info!
d/w uses the trait that increases precision while attuned to air and spends the majority of its time in that attunement. Staff just camps fire mostly
If you camp fire you are playing it wrong
nope
Camping fire is very often the way to go. Swapping to air while channeling meteor storm and then using glyph of storms and overload air and then back to fire results in marginally higher dps, but is very situational, and prevents you from doing what staff ele is good at and the reason you’re likely taking staff in the first place: strong ranged damage. for instance, you can’t drop lava fonts on orbs at gorseval while you are in airand in any case, you’re spending a minority of your time in air, so the precision boost isn’t really worth building around (in fact, I usually don’t even take it)
I was under the impression that doing anything to interrupt meteor storm yields fewer meteors? I’m rather new to ele, so please be gentle D= Ive been messing around with faster dps rotations and it seemed that if I interrupted meteor shower fewer meteors would fall.
Please enlighten me, Im eager to learn about eles
Players look at damage, cd, cc and deffensive skills. The f you want full dps then axe s better. Otherwise go sword for keeping healers away fom the team or for uncapping points.
He said PvE.
Tbh, Im not crazy about s/s for pve. The pull is annoying in that even if your target cant be displaced, YOU get displaced so you have to run back over. Axe 5 is more useful for breakbars as it doesnt displace you, and does better damage/applies torment/aoe cc. Axe 4 gives you a dash outside of shiro which is useful if your targets move. There arent many things in the game that you NEED the block skill on sword that you cant already dodge.
All in all, I find axe offhand to be superior to sword offhand.
Thats just me though I run s/a glint/shiro full zerk, pretty standard stuff.
I highly doubt Anet will even comment on this, let alone address this problem. In the grand scheme of things this is an unfortunately small bug effecting an even smaller group of players.
I was talking with a guildie last night and we came to the conclusion/theory that Anet has been holding ad Infinitum back because it’s still broken, and they’re trying to fix it which honestly I’d prefer them telling us if it was the case, rather than nothing and all of us believing they just don’t give a kitten about the community when it comes to communication ;n;
