Since it’s the original bunker build, you have plenty of hp to play around with.
I run the same build, with all knights armor, 3 celestial trinks and 3 cavaliers (2 accessory & a cavalier exo bp).
The main problem I’ve run into is when the battle stretches out, the regen can’t keep my health up. I also have pvt armour to replace the knights, but that’s only another 2k-3k hp and it lowers the crit chance too much.
With your build John, it looks like you can get bursted down pretty quick, unless you time their burst, dodge, then counter-attack, then that’ll work to your favour
imo, aim for a little more toughness for longer survivability. Mayb change the weapons to Knights or something that has more toughness.
The build looks more for Scepter/dagger or focus based, since it’s closer to a burst build than a bunker (just looking at the stats).
No one mentioned using Geyser->Switch to Earth->Dodge Roll (with evasive arcana) for a nice AoE Healing.
Same can be done with Healing Ripple or Might Stacking.
That would depend whether you’re in Combat, cause Evasive arcana only works in combat.
I usually run Arcane wave on my staff ele for the blast finisher when I’m inside fields, it’s fun using it.
Other than that I like using water 4 and blasting it, love that frost aura.
Side-note: Just vs’d a Thief in wvw. 1v1. I went looking for one, we played a while and I noticed that the Thief had a shiet ton of Teleportation/Shadowstep, w/e you peeps call it.
I was just a normal bunker Ele (d/d – 3 cantrip build) with pvt looking to play 1v1… the battle lasted a while, but I couldn’t kill the thief. I’d get him to low hp, then he’d just reset. I mean QTF is this?!?
Thieves have tons of Teleport/Shadowstep/QTFstep~~~
Conclusion, you’re just mad that you couldn’t pin him down and finish him off, instead of coming up with a plan to trap and kill him you came to this terrible thread to feed it’s walls. Clap clap
What have you contributed to these forums? Besides arrogant commentary?
direction, balance, etc etc. it’s hard to disagree when everyone agrees.
It was an Open field fight, the thief was equipped with a Shortbow, Sword/Pistol. I was a d/d Ele, once the thief changed to Shortbow there is a range difference, especially since it was open field, the thief was kiting, while I was a sitting duck. I wanted a 1v1 but d/d Ele’s aren’t the “best” are ranged dps. As soon as I get close, the thief would Teleport away.
So whatever you said is invalid.
I’m just saying some of my experience with thieves, be it pro-thieves, shiet-thieves, whatever you want to call it. They do have much, much more teleports than an Ele does.

Well, we’re all still playing elementalist, right?
I’m an Ele, although they nerfed Rtl, I don’t see a huge problem with it, just don’t start off with Rtl to close the gap, it’s a predictable move to all opponents now.
And with regards to mobility, change to Staff and use Air 4, then change back to whatever weap set you were using. However if you’re a bunker build (with those Boon duration runes) there’s no way you should be complaining about the lack of swiftness.
I use it in a zerg fight (in wvw) and it’s fine as it is. However if we’re talking about spvp… it’s kinda hard to land, unless you’re team is set up to actually combo follow churning earth…
welp, seems like a can’t roam around solo and try and get 1v1 fights. I’ll just get teamed up on. Nice work~
i know what you mean, this is like the worst matchup ever for solo or small group roaming. Noone runs outside of a zerg of atleast 20 and even the "roaming guilds" roam with 10-15 people.
Lol?
Man you guys are in a world of hurt when/if you get into gold.
That’s quite alright, now that I know you guys always want to zerg roll a solo’er, I’ll just run in this "so called blob" and roll over any solo’er.

When you encounter a warrior that self-heals like crazy, just tuck your tails between your legs and run the opposite direction.
There’s absolutely no chance of winning a 1v1 against a war that has an insane passive heal, be it (us ele’s) using d/d, s/d, s/f… and you’re screwed if you use staff. lol
Just now Kaineng took Ogrewatch Cut, however as I was busy trying to defend, I sudden see red AC circles on the INNER of the tower, destroying all siege.
Care to share how you did that?
