I recommend getting knights jewelery or clerics jewelery at level 80. PVT jewelery is just hard to come by and not really worth it.
I prefer knights over berzerkers, I only use berzerkers as an alternate set. My knights provides me with good DPS and tankiness. Berzerkers leaves me vulnerable to getting killed.

I updated all the items I use in the equipment section in guide. 70% boon duration is from 30% (arcana) 15% (2 sup monk) 15% (2 sup water) 10% (2 maj water) for a total of 70%
Condition damage comes from triforge, karka shell, and my lunaria ring (+all stat items)
I use knights daggers (toughness, power, precision) and knights armor too

I don’t need that much vitality in the first place anyways, since I can sustain myself with all the ways of healing as a d/d ele. I like killing things faster anyways :P
Knights dominant stat is toughness(which means more defense!)
PVT’s dominant stat is power
Ah, so you don’t use PVT / AC armor any more?
*eh just to be clear, is the set up below what you run right now for dungeons/fractrals?
My main problem with it is that, I want the TA outlook but the CoF stats… I wouldn’t mind farming for one but for two, not that many people have that much time on their hands. Not only that, its hard enough to get groups for unpopular dungeons, everyone wants AC for glow or CoF because its usually better than other armors. Even on high population service it takes awhile to form a group imagine when MoP hits or after a few months when population goes down a little be.
On the one had we have ppl that don’t want LFD tools like in Wow and on there we have the ppl that do. Both have good arguments, its counterproductive to have to wait in front of a portal spamming “LF1MOAR” and traditional hot join dungeons breeds Trolls so lets make a whole new system to be the standard!? isnt that what GW2 is all about? Here are some traditional ideas and new ones.
I haven’t seen any one make a good argument against it except that supposedly you’d be afk more in cities waiting for que instead of being more active and social… Which to me seems like the opposite.
There are 8 dungeons in 80 levels. None are required for anything and none are casual walkthroughs. Adding an instant team maker is pointless. This is not WoW where the entire game is casual dungeon runs.
Many people pushing this have some misconception that the dungeons are the game. Instant dungeons will wear out the content (that is only a small amount of gameplay) very fast. Then, the inevitable roar for more dungeons – creating this casual dungeon crawling situation that WoW has and that people have grown to hate. They are (hopefully) not going to follow that same destructive path here.
This is a different kind of game.
Embrace it. There are too many clones out there.
Again where is the argument in this? Is this how you feel? So far its only opinions and making friends since people can’t make real life friends now?
Anyway, right now people are still leveling to 80 and within a few months its populations will start to go down (not die). So far most people only want to do AC for the glow weapons or CoF because that armor usually looks the best for most classes, I already witness people spamming for TA explore for over an hour already and my server is full. So either way something is going to be done eventually since the masses are calling for it.
So far I’ve been stacking power, but I’m only 67. Been using wells/aoe spec with D/D on switch for objects or single target dps depending. I’m pretty sure conditions only effect staff 2/3. So far I can still nuke groups down with marks > 2 wells > death shroud aoe > blind well > mark again > wells again after few dodges (spec’d for it)
But maybe at 80 I will change since every one is doing condition for marks, also I use the dodge blood mark as a combo blast.

I too gave up, you pretty much need to put 30 in water just do be able to do anything in dungeons and not get down the fastest because for some reason we have lower life pool than any one else. D/D is amazing but why do I have to go sigils/auras or water traits just to take more than 1 hit? It feels like the WD in d3 having to get the mana passive and 4 useless cds just to be able to do what other classes can do.
Also, everyone always compares ele to spvp…. Anyone can be top in spvp
Thieves and Guardians actually have the same exact size health pools as we do. I only have 10 in water and I can take a reasonable beating. But taking a beating is not how you play this game. You dodge, avoid, and use conditions. You have to watch enemies for the tells associated with their attacks. You can’t just tank and spank like in other, less interesting MMOs. Once you’ve figured out how an enemy works, you can survive any encounter.
The D/D was an example, never said we could tank and if you don’t know what I’m talking about there, that’s another problem for you later on.
Pinkerton, I am starting to wonder if you even passed level 30 yet. That is the first time I am seeing an argument for lightning being best damage. The only thing significant about our class is the amount of might stacking we can bring with our own combos.
Hahahaha. Go play a necro and see how much you regret THAT decision.
Did, and loved it. EZ mode. Not as awesome as a guardian or warrior, but still EZ mode.
Same, tired of people saying but I have no problems doing mobs “my level”. Even I can solo a champion on my elem after probably 10 mins using cc and bleeds. Leveling faster than a necro, lol some one didn’t level a necro right then.
