Guild Wars 2

1. It’s not “only” the autoattacks that are fast casting. Ring of Fire, Frozen Burst, Frost Aura, Shock Aura, Ride the Lightning, Updraft, Magnetic Grasp…ALL have a 1/2 sec cast time or less…add in the autoattacks from Fire/Air/Water…And you’ll notice that half of our skills have a very fast cast time.

2. With my spec, the passive of the signet heals for 280 per cast. The glyph heals for 5,479 over 25 seconds. That means, per second, the glyph heals for about 219 hp. If you add in the regen I get from the water glyph heal, it comes out to 346 per second. Which is still easily outhealed from the Signet passive.

3. Since a lot of D/D builds run either 0/10/0/30/30 or 0/0/10/30/30, it’d be gimping their builds by dropping either earth, or zephyr’s boon, in order to get 5 seconds off of a glyph heal. These builds have PERMA swiftness, and have no need for any other sources of it.

I’ve tried all 3 healing spells as D/D, and the signet just makes me much more sustainable. Ether renewal is nice…but that’s 3 seconds I’m not dealing damage to my enemy. The fact that I can passively heal and not have to worry about another skill is golden.

DPS wise, ruby orbs are the best for our armor slots. Our most damaging staff skill is Ice Spike, which when traited for it, I’ve easily hit for 8k+. Also superior sigil of Strength for that extra might on crits is nice as well.

Running 30/30/0/10/0(Blasting staff really isn’t need for wvwvw, if that’s your main focus) is how I got numbers that high.
Fire 6,7,12 as you already have.
Air 6, 10(Our air autoattack is unbelievably good, and upping it’s damage is never a bad thing), 12.(12 is since it’s wvwvw, there’s a pretty good chance someone will have cc’ed whatever you’re going for.)
Water 4(20% more damage when attuned to water to vuln. targets.)

If I run any wvwvw today, I’ll post up a video

Right, because Elementalists needed yet another GAP / MOBILITY Skill. /golfclap

We’ve HAD this skill…….

If you want to mass blind foes, use glyph of storms -_-

Sergo.2867:

How do people handle weapon switching to get the most out of staff and, say S/D? One can’t just quickly click in the inventory, because the dagger will replace the scepter, rather than going into the secondary spot?

It doesn’t replace the scepter, it goes directly into the second spot ^^

Yeah probably not, one could only hope.

Yeah, It’s been like this for a couple days now, just been too lazy to make a post :P Next course of action for me is just going to be to reinstall…but I’d rather not have to.

Happened a couple days ago.

Now I understand that the skill is supposed to be locked when the Elite is summoned and on cooldown….but it’s definitely not supposed to be locked ALL the time. Basically I can’t change my elite skill anymore, which is becoming very annoying. Anyone know how to fix this?
