WvW Core "Fresh Air" build help

So in order to cover pure core ele in addition to Wolfrics suggestion, I want to share my build which I’ve been running non-stop for >4 months now (almost exclusively solo roaming).

It uses core traitlines only and a rather unintuitive choice of utilities. However you don’t need to avoid any class as soon as you get accustomed to the build.
It’s quite effective against power classes (although, admittedly, fights against scrappers and druids might go on forever …); against condi builds you usually need to kite a little but you should be able to cleanse the worst of it ;-)

You can end fights pretty quick by keeping up the pressure by switching elements very fast (well, as with all fresh air builds) and generally playing very aggressive.

1vs2 are manageable as long as at least one of them runs a power build.
1vs2 against condi builds is quite challenging, but well … it is fun anyway.

Generally, tempest would be better in outnumbered fights, but I think I managed to built an effective allrounder here.

So here it is:

Hope you give it a try. Enjoy!

Quick Edit: the mentioned buff food is absolutely crucial to the build; as of yet I havent found any alternative; so make sure you don’t run out of it.
