Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow elementalists,

I have recently joined the elementalist ranks having played warrior as my main. I really like the elementalist play style but i have to say that my experience is very limited. I am in the process of leveling and am using D/D atm. I have deicided that support healing is the way to go for me when i hit 80. To be honest i have never seen or grouped with a healing speccd elementalist so i am oblivious in what to look for.

My main goal is to provide healing and support for dungeons, as I mostly run them with my guild. We have several very capable support Guardians and I am keen to see if I can match up to them or maybe outshine them in certain fields / situations.

What I’d like to know is, what build to use, what kind of gear, skills traits, what utility to look for? I have been doing some reading and I understand that switching to water gives quite a bit of healing, but ideally switching from what ?? and when I’m switching out of water to what should I switch to and why ?? I would also like to know which runes and sigil to go for and why ?

I hope you guys, can help me in finding a great build / gear / overall setup to provide best possible support as an ele and also help to explain to me how the build works and should be played proper.

Thanks in advance to all of you who take the time to answer and contribute to this thread !!

Best regards,
Kharne

I have been having the same problem. I followed their instructions on installing SP 1 for Windows 7, downloading the latest drivers for Nvidia and also configuring my card to the specifications in the thread and it has resolved nothing.

The game is basically unplayable for me as it is unless as the OP said I subsample it which is imho unacceptable.

Looking at the state of the game now, it seems there is no clear reason why one should level up crafting professions.

Sure you can pick up 2 if you’re going for a legendary and need gifts, you can even pick more for the sake of making stuff for yourself but generally you can buy stuff cheaper at the TP then you will end up spending to craft it yourself.

As an extra incentive to have people leveling their crafting professions i suggest that the currently active crafting professions of max lvl (400) give you buffs.

I think the appropriate buffs would be along the lines of:

10% Magic Find
10% more Karma gained
10% more Experience gained
10% chance of extra materials harvested.
10% extra gold from drops
a bonus value of an attribute (toughness, power, vitality, precision etc.)

or something similar.

Please comment and suggest what you think good crafting profession bonuses would be.

Best regards,
Kharne
