Posting here will not get you an invite, I will be updating this as I go but not seeking roster invites via forums.

Looking forward to all my new members!

Uh. False. If blowtorch is your best xondition then you are specced wrong

You shouldn’t be playing pistols without points into bleed on crit and burn on crit.

You aren’t even entertaining confusion and how potent it is against classes like rogues and warriors who spam abilities. Or a d\d elementalist.

Hgh grenades might stacking gear. 25 might 25 corruption stacks is roughly 2200 power 2600 condi damage.

Pure win.

I would only say full rabid if you are 30 in elixirs.

If not. Rabid gear dire accessories

Honestly. .. I know you prefer non meta BUT…..

HgH p/p might stacking build is absolutley amazing.

+90% duration on might. Meaning almost always 15-25 stacks of might. Which not only increases condi damage. Bur helps with initial damage burst on abilities.

Full dire gear ptc gear (precision toughness condi) gives you superior survivability with toughness at 1700.

20/30/0/30/0 build for multiple on crit bleeds and burns and a lot of vitality from elixir line giving you a solid 20k health pool. Removal of conditions on elixir throws (which you do a lot in this build for might)

Almost 100% uptime on vigor via swiftness procs from crits and elixirs. Giving you superior survivability in all situations and a great way to escape danger easily.

Ability to swap toolkit with flamethrower, elixir gun, and grenades and have them each be useful in different situations and not feel kitten for not using other kits.

Elixir B is just rediculously good in this build, 70% crit chance almost on 100% uptime with 1-1:15 minute stacks of might.

Sigil of battle/corruption. Battle procs on kit swaps. Easy 3 might and can pre stack corruption in wvw easily.

I could go on, but I’m on my phone. I was skeptical at hgh might builds at first until I tried it. Now its my bread and butter spec.

I will also say I find perplexity builds extremley fun to play. Its also a cheaper build, and a lot easier to learn and play for starters. HgH requires a lot of micromanaging, good keybinds and an aggresive playstyle.

More critiques please!

I have been really reading a lot on the forums, taking what I like from builds, mixing and matching for my playstyle. I feel like I came up with a pretty well rounded build, with higher DPS potential then a lot of other builds that go really really heavy toughness, and kitten their damage so they can take more hits.

I feel this build requires you to play better by managing your own defenses via abilities/dodging. BUT, allows higher overall damage potential.

Let me know what you guys think, give advice(useful advice) and anything you suggest gear wise

I dint see how people think the mats for the best weapon in the game should be easy to get

I mean. Come on, not everyone can have the best.

Also. The mats aren’t all that bad honestly. I get tons of ascended mats just from chain running cof paths.

Uhg. Ok I am sorry but this needs to be said.

Firstly, elementalist is not your typical MMO style mage. I honestly consider it a battle mage of sorts. You will never get away playing a single element as an elementalist. Its just not how the class works. In order to successfully play ele you need to learn to swap and use your combo barriers. If yo want a single element mage; go play rift or wow.

Second, if you are specing into full assault. Yes, you will be squishy beyond reason in pvp. Its the sacrifice for maxing out burst to be so high. Cantrip builds are absolutley superior survivability in this game as an ele. The healing power we are cabable of is nuts. Which really goes back into my first point of attun swapping. Simply swapping to water is a 2.5k heal+another 2k regen. Not counting all the defensive 33% shields we get. You can even spec into an additional arcane shield that auto procs at25%…

Third, do research before making false claims. If I had come to the forums first to check the state on elementalist. I would have never rolled one with the amount of crying on how bad they are. Luckily, I youtubed videos and came upon a player named “excala” who is absolutley amazing. Even gives guides along with high quality WvW and Spvp (non zerg)

Finally, learn your class. Stop being scrubby and constantly crying. Ele does fine when played properly. Its about managing all the stuff you get as an ele and using it at the right times. High skill ceiling is fun, ele is where its at.

Think I did this right. Did it on my phone o.o

So I’ve been reading up on a lot of sources/websites about wgich gear set works best for WvW.

I chose valkyrie and cleric trinkets.

I am d/d but also switch to staff sometimes.

Build wise I am 0-10-10-20-30 and using cantrips most of the time. Obviously switching here and there.

So I want to see what you all prefer or reccomend. Rune wise I am using major rune of the fighter.
