Guild Wars 2

Apparently my guy looks like Jugganaut :S

Excellent. Fire is indeed poop underwater right now. Air rocks though.

So as a staff wielding fire ele throwing full fire with some air for crit isnt good?

Agree ,totally. Its not been until about level 40 did I really understand this. Kudos to arenanet for making the Ele a truly versitile class in the Elementalist.

Yes im a staff wielder I still havent tried daggers as Ive heard this is the ideal weapon for single targetting. I cant say ive ever been a fan of sceptors right from the get go.

I have learned that the hard way. Especially in Explorer mode dungeons where every single mob is as unforgiving as a boss. I have often had to call on my AOE healing abilities just to keep us tipped up. AIR for its stuns and Water for its slowing. Fire when I just need to nuke. But I wondered if there was an advantage to someone using air as a dps spec and not just a utility spec. I hit as pure fire alot harder than they do.

Maybe I just don’t see alot of elementalists swapping roles like they should. It seems natural to me to help out where i can but i wouldnt go full air unless i had a specific role to play. Maybe a pvp role.

I have preferred raw fire to airs crits but what do others thnk is more efficient as a pure dps build?

I have more often thatn not had to turn to water mid dungeon to assist with healing.
