Guild Wars 2

okay guys in advance i wanna say thanks to all of you who comment here
just re-train my trait, went full berserk using “Fresh air” build and i am using zerk scepter/dagger

kill enemy in one rotation
2 fire-4 fire-3 fire-arcane blast(most mob would be dead by now)-4 earth-5earth-air1-air2
and I must say here that elementalist is the best in dps (in my case at least) it does a lot of damage and the evasive arcana and water attunement are kinda OP using trait
air-30 arcane-30 water-3(10 soon)

and stacking might is quite easy

thks for your corporation really appreciate it

fyi:the problem is I am at lv 70 using lv 50 weapons (sorry for my ignorance)
now I kill at 10 seconds(solo)

wait actually i am using lv 50 set of armors, however my weapons are up to date so what do you think? is it the problem?

Maybe not the issue, but it doesn’t help.

Another part of it may be that eles more or less require active buffing and actively defending themselves. Because eles have so little health, you’ll need to rely on moving around, dodging and defensive skills (like Mistform) a lot more. On the other hand, if you compensate by taking more defensive gear, you’ll need to buff yourself with might through your combo fields.

So basically, you need to use more skills to accomplish the same. Other professions can do more passively (ranger even has 2 auto attacks ).

yeah thats why i dont even think about switching armors, the difference gap between lv 70 armors and 50 armors are just too small
it kittenes me off why Anet gives low attributes for armors below 80…

I keep changing my attunments and literally use all skill every combat(except for earth 5) last time i was running a personal story where risen kraits everywhere it took me like 20 seconds for me to kill a risen krait and whenever a risen abomination(the big krait)hit me I died right away

Do you keep your gear up to date? Because when you’re like, a level 70 wearing level 50 armor, and do a level 35 mission, your gear will get downscaled to level 25 too.

ThiBash.5634:

You say your ranger is full zerk. Is your ele full zerk as well? Also, do you use all of your attunments? Because in general, you’ll want to use your auto attacks only if you literally have nothing else to do.

When you get at level 80, consider using a Sigil of Battle. It’ll boost your dps considerably (and yes, it works with attunement swapping).

yeah my elementalist is full zerk running with zerk s/d

okay so I just created a new elementalist like a week before, devoted 40 hours to it and it is now at lv 70

after getting through all the hard part (omfg so kitten hard reaching lv 70 -_-)
I tried the fresh-air build with trait air-30 and arcane-30 (I’ll spend the rest 10 for water later )

and it seems that I barely do any damage to the monster, even though i keep changing attunement, spamming the 1-2-3-4-5 button like crazy getting a lot of might but still it is taking way too long to kill a monster I dont know if it is me who sucks or elementalist is underpowered(no offence, please dont spam me with “here another guy complaining about elementalist , go play another class if you dont like to be active , go suck your own **** and etc”. Please I am just asking for help here )

my main is ranger full zerk and kills monster way faster than my ele at lv 70

so guys can you recommend me some build maybe? I am really interested in the mechanics of elementalist but have no idea how it works…
thks in advance

note: getting a skill point is really really hard
