Guild Wars 2

To put it in perspective I maintain 20 stacks of bleed on people with each dealing 98 damage per stack which in total is just under 2000 per second not including the occasional on crit burn effect or impact damage of each shard.

Sure thing
For traits lines I run
30 on fire for the condition duration taking Lava Tomb for extra damage while downed, Burning Precision for the burning damage since I run on earth 95% of the time and Conjurer for the extra charges on Fiery Greatsword.

30 on earth for the condition damage and toughness taking Signet Mastery, Serrated Stones for longer bleeds and Written in Stone for maintaining the Signet passives.

10 on water for the extra vitality, I take Shard of Ice so I can apply vulnerability when activating my signets.

For armor and weapons everything I run is Carison for the condition damage, and vitality. The extra power never hurts either.
On the armor I have

3 Superior Runes of the Krait for more condition damage and bleed duration.
2 Superior Runes of the Centaur for power and bleed duration
2 Superior Runes of the Afflicted for more condition damage and bleed duration

If it hasn’t clicked in why I have 7 of them it is because I have a rune on my aqua breather.

All my weapons have the Superior Sigil of Agony for (shocking) more bleed duration.

Finally for abilities I have Fiery Greatsword, Signet of Earth, Signet of Water for the amazing passive and Signet of Fire all to keep my enemies at bay and deal some additional burn damage.

Hey guys before I get going on my short little rant I feel I should mention this could also go under the category of “Game Bugs” or “Suggestions”.

So basically I’m a bit disappointed that the Earth Elementalist’s Scepter disappears on basic attack. A very simple visual effect however it doesn’t agree with logic of the other attunement counterparts basic attacks. I could argue that conjuring stone from the palm of my hand is neat but I personally would rather see my (Future Legendary Scepter)Meteorlogicus given that it takes such a long time to gather and craft the materials just to have it not there half of the time. This applies with all scepter designs.

I main as an Earth Elementalist Scepter/Focus build(Blood Mage) and I’m slightly disappointed. I’m sure there is several out there who can agree with me and maybe a person or two with a considerable counter argument but this is what I believe and just something I wanted to point my opinion on, and a change I know full well ARENANET has the power to achieve.
