Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the great input, folks. Most of the D/D input above (traits n such) I am already doing. You all are pretty much confirming what I thought. I think I will just play my Guardian from here on as it probably complements my playstyle better alongside my guildmates. Thanks again!

Admittedly I did not know that the other attunements (with staff) were of much use. Still, I am not interested in a ranged support / heal role anyway. I am very good (humility aside) with D/D while soloing and I know how to burst n run. However last night even on trash if I RTL in I get one-shotted or nearly one-shotted even on the easy stuff.

Thank you for the input. It does lead me to believe that this may not be the class for me (for dungeon running anyways).

So I absolutely love the fast-paced and highly mobile playstyle of D/D elem. However, I ran Ascalon Catacombs story mode for the first time last night and I found myself being relegated to heal duty (threw on a staff and stood in Water Attunement most of the night). This was mostly due to the fact that I couldn’t seem to survive in melee for any amount of time.

Are there any high level elementalists who can speak to the viability of D/D in dungeons? I don’t want to stick with this class if I cannot run dungeons the way I want to with it.

Thanks for your responses!
