ok so i came back playing after a big break bought the expansion and started playing.
i mostly do spvp and and now it simply not fun anymore because i cant get one decent fight without sudden lag spike that also harming the textures for example Dragon hunter traps visuals are sometimes not showing and because of that i get killed instantly.
and ofc im not even talking about normal fights.
i checked the diagnostics of my connectivity and they doesnt show any bad signs
i know its not my connection since its good with all the games but this.
I hope you have solution for this because if not i just feel like a sucker for buying this game and ofc i wouldnt recommend anyone buying this game since its not even playable and im not talking only about me i have friends from my country and out of it with the same problem and they are all kittened.(kittened?lol)
Being familiar with the various combos in that chain is the key to success, as the full sequence rarely plays out as intended when fighting. Know what skills will be available on-demand when swapping into an attunement, and use that to inform your choices.
Also know which skills in each attunement are most worthwhile. For instance, I will almost always use Cone of Cold over trying to auto-attack in Water with Vapor Blade. The damage and heal is often far superior. And learn to love Magnetic Grasp. Like many projectiles, it can be clunky and randomly miss or be obstructed for no apparent reason, but it’s an amazing skill.
youre right but i never get how people manage to remember all the other classes skills and rotation when i get into combat with someone its really hard for me to track what they are doing
I tried many builds and spend all my money on armors
mostly played pvt d/d with several a little crit
Playing ele in almost any “viable” build successfully requires good reflexes, fast skill activation (clicking skills is a big no-no), a sense of good positioning and movement (keyboard-turning is a show-stopper) and some knowledge about your enemy’s class and play style (since any non-one-trick-pony-build won’t kill anything besides pure glass thieves in a single attempt you have to react sometimes).
The well known 0/10/0/30/30 cantrip D/D build is still playable, as well as 0/10/10/20/30 or 0/20/0/20/30 are. Just aim for something around 2.4k armor, 2.7k power, more than 30% crit chance, as much crit dmg as you can get, 400 or 600 healing power and some boon duration (e.g. via 2 runes of the water, 2 runes of the monk and 2 runes of the traveller). The basic burst rotation is something like air -> air-3 -> air-4 -> air-5 -> fire -> fire-3 -> fire-5 -> fire-4 -> earth -> dodge roll into ring of fire -> earth-4 -> earth-3 -> armor of earth -> earth-5 -> lightning flash onto enemy -> water -> water-4 -> rinse & repeat.
Because most opponents know this rotation the will probably evade or kite every key skill in this rotation, so you have to become creative:
use a dodge roll with evasive arcana in fire attunement to set an enemy on fire for a firegrab (don’t use firegrab in your first go, because it will be dodged 90% of the time)
receive a fire aura by leaping through a fire field (ring of fire or burning speed) with activating the second step of magnetic grasp (earth-3) which grants swiftness and fury with Air-I and protection with Earth-V
don’t waste auras only for their traited effects if your enemy seems to know what he’s doing but use them situational (frost aura against ranged builds, shocking aura against melees without stability)
crit often to get vigor with Arcane-VI, which allows you to dodge more often
stack might when possible, but don’t force yourself into it
dodge roll into the enemy in air attunement for an AoE blind
use updraft as an evade when immobilized
etc
I’m currently using sth. like this (not optimized because I always forget which equipment I currently wear). The more you get a grasp on how to act and react in certain situations and against certain professions, the less built-in defense is required to be victorious on D/D ele. Always keep pressure on your enemy even when you drop low. Learn some rotations and get to know your skills – Use them both offensively and defensively; whatever is required in certain situations.
Thank you for the help but im not sure how can i get 30% or more crit and 2.4k armor at the same time? which armor set do i need to get?
A month ago after a few sessions of wvw soloing with my d/d ele i decided to stop playing.
it happened because i played my ele for a long time on wvw and still had hard a time on killing an up lvled players it made me think that im really suck on my ele and generally in the game since the other classes wasnt fit for me neither i had no idea what i was doing wrong i still doesnt!
I tried many builds and spend all my money on armors
mostly played pvt d/d with several a little crit
anyway i decided to give it another chance
what i as of you is if you can help me with some build and tips for my gaming (i also notice that there was a major change on the ele traits.)
Thanks for the help!
