Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone, I am quite new to gw itself and ele has been the only profession i’ve played but I don’t think I’ll change any time soon because it is that good.

I have been closely following d/d guide because it gives me a lot of insight as to how some of the mehanics of ele are supposed to be utilized and used.

However I have come across a question, I am on AC PVT gear and weapon and have full sapphire accessories (Power, healing and Toughness i think).

My base crit rate is 10% and with fury it goes up to 30%. According to daphoenix you can get it up to 40%+ even with PVT gear stats.
Am i doing something wrong??

Thank you all for your help in advance!

I have a question in regards to combos.

I am a relatively new player to guild wars and elementalist is my first job!

I am desperately trying to connect the combo fire 4 + earth 4+ earth 5. However due to the long earth 5 casting time, my ring of fire usually disappears before my earth 5’s casting finishes.

Am i doing something wrong? The moment i press fire 4 I immediately switch to earth attunement so hmmm.
