Guild Wars 2

You should PM Obal or Kumakichi in-game, one or the other is usually always around. If not, I can mention it to Obal or Kuma too when I’m logged on the game. I think it’s a good idea to be able to see when certain members are most free to be running a path. I’ve been helping out a ton of people but sometimes they ask me very late at night and I’m unable to help them. But great idea!

Dwayna (Simmin) boss in Arah path 4 before the patch where she was nerfed.
Giganticus Lupus is now in first because he’s the only boss that is still tricky even if you know what to do (depends on the group).

Other than that, trying to solo champions in Orr zones is always something different and fun.

I leveled using a staff build 1-80 and didn’t have much problems learning D/D at 80. At very low levels D/D lacks a bit of survivability. At 80 you can put in all your trait points and get max boon duration gear.

You don’t have to level 1-80 with a D/D build. But when you do switch to D/D, look at guides, videos, play around with skills and combos.

I’m willing to join this new guild for Arah.

Lae Lae
D/D Aura build Ele (leveling other characters to 80)
Several sets of exotics for either high survivability or damage.
Experience: I’ve completed all paths fully from start to finish.
Time: Central US, usually late afternoon into the night.

My current guild runs Arah p3 almost daily but I’d like to be able to try running Arah with different people and more often. I’m also open to running all other dungeons.

Methal.9045:

5 responses and 5 different “must have” builds.

Tells me this is either a very diverse class, or a very limited one where traits don’t mean jack.

It’s not the latter. Eles can be very versatile.

@ OP
I’d say the key thing about Eles that I have experienced in dungeon-play is that the first time you will die a lot. Mostly because you don’t know what situations you are going to face so you don’t know how to be prepared. A staff build can be viable the first time through but I can’t help you with staff builds (I played staff 1-80 but currently am using D/D for all dungeons).

Like another poster said Daphoenix has a good guild for D/D and my build is similar with different traits. For me everything is much easier as a D/D than staff. The only time I ever use staff is in a situation where I must range such as Giganticus Lupus.

Either way I suggest finding a good build you can play with high HP, good amount of toughness and support. A good idea would be to start on Ascalonian Catacombs and get PVT gear.
