Guild Wars 2

FrownyClown.8402:

if you want to do hardcore pve stuff d/f and staff are both good. The might nerfs will hurt eles, but the good eles will still have a place in pvp. Focus is situational in pve so it isnt need all of the time, but its a valuable asset when it is needed.

Well if that’s the case I’ll probably go with d/f for pve. I’ve read that full Zerker gear and weapons are best for Dungeons and such for this specific setup. I assume Zerker refers to the Berserker armor set, but isn’t there berserker exotic and also berserker ascended gear? Like I say the gear in this game is very confusing to me

Hey guys I’m fairly new to GW2 as I just started playing around 2 weeks ago. After hitting 80, I experimented with different builds and found that I really enjoy the D/D build which I primarily used in PvP. After reading about the upcoming nerf that ele’s are getting later this month, I decided to stray away from PvP and do mainly PvE. I perform very poorly in PvP due to still being a noob to the class, but with the reduction of might stacking and the might bonus of the strength sigil (which I use for my build), I really can’t see it being viable anymore. I realize that’s a bold statement coming from someone with only two weeks of experience in game but I’m having trouble in fights as it is and with every other class being ‘buffed’ (ie. not nerfed) I don’t feel comfortable with continuing PvP on an ele. But I digress.. Taking the upcoming patch into consideration, if I’m going to be switching to PvE what would my best option be as far as weapon and gear setup? I’m pretty sure D/F still relies on might stacking and LW but I’m not sure if the changes would make enough difference in PvE. I’m willing to swap to staff if that’s a better option, I’m just looking for a solid build and gear setup (because I know absolutely nothing about the type of gear I need). When playing I don’t really enjoy just sitting back and lobbing spells from afar, I like being in the heat of the battle doing a nice amount of damage but also not being too squishy (a little squishy is ok, I do realize that I’m playing an elementalist here). Help would be appreciated, thanks.
