Guild Wars 2

The past few days i have thought about, what trinkets and back piece i want to have for high level FotM. More accurate i thought about changing my current trinkets and back piece. At the moment i am running the PVT stat combo on my two ascended trinkets and the back piece.

My question now is, what stat combo did you choose and why did you choose it?

You can go 30/30/0/10/0 plus full berserker set with berserker staff.
It is possible to do decent dps just with fire.
For PvE and Dungeons it works pretty well. But only if you got a good positioning.

Maybe you confused Power with Attack?

In my opinion this whole discussion is pointless unless someone can proof their point.
I think that EVERYONE should play a game the way he gets the most FUN from it.

And if you like just staying in one attunement it is fine. It is nt important if you do more damage or not. ( still not proven what is best to maximize the damage)

My Build:
Traits: 30/20/10/10/0
Fire: Internal Fire / Embers Might / Pyromancers Pussiance
Air: Bolt to the heart / one with air
Earth: Earth embrace
Water: Vital Striking

Full Berserker set + weapon and scholar runes , ruby ring, earring, amulet.
staff with sigil of force.
Story Assassin Back with equesite ruby juwel.

I am using Signet of fire for more crit chance.
This is the buiöld i am playing on. I do AC explo, CoF and recently did arah path 1 with it. I changed the juwels with Beryl for more HP in arah.
If you hit something with that build under the right circumstances you will get a very high crit. This is just a PvE staff build and it is mainly played in fire.
To run around orr i use air obviously. The one with air trait comes in handy for this.
In is playable in W3 but do not leave the zerg!

What do you mean with rampager was better? Did it more damage?
I am running a glass cannon staff build and i just like the big numbers like up to 5k crits with fireball.

I am searching for a way to optimise a WvW or PvE backline DD in regards to damage.
What traits are the best? What runes or sigils?

To Rhyse.8176:

Your statement is true. But a level 80 properly gearded glass cannon ele can for instance easily fight 4 risen at the same time. Do well in dungeons even arah and so on. Im talking about my experience and i have learned in pve eles are fine at level 80.
However as a glass cannon in WvW or SPvP you get stomped 1on1.

To STRanger.5120:

In PvP the crit dmg you can get with an ele is lower than in pve (That is what i found in some short tests). But i do not play pvp so i do not have a screen shot from a pvp match.

What is the problem with ele’s? I am running a crit build with staff ele and i am fully satisfied with my 3k crit auto-attack and my 5-6k crit meteors. I mainly play ele with staff in pve. Is there a problem with WvW or SPvP? For example in explorable dungeons i am a good DD and yes it is hard to avoid everthing because it can kill you instantly but it is also fun and a challenge.

Due to the facts i stated above i can not understand the problem with ele’s or atleaast with staff crit ele in pve.

I am asking this because in Arah speedruns after the first boss, the group jumps over a wall and then kills the second boss.
So you do not need to kill the trash mobs.
