Guild Wars 2

Thanks a lot for your answers guys,
I learned a lot from your treads. I’ll now use 30/30/10/0/0 cause indeed, I think larger AoE isn’t maximized. It’s better in my opinion to hit less targets with more dmg.

But I wanted to know the number limit of target in AoE, especially in Static field. Cause I think SF + Meteor or water spike, or earth crush is quite good too?

Thank you Tupuc too for good advice, and yes, always fun if you can post a video so I can see how you doing, and your playstyle.

Edit: I’d be also interested to know about your combo with boss in PvE with full glass cannon, and combo in WvWvW as for solo even if my specc isn’t maximized for solo. Tips, advice would be great for a starter like me. Thank you! =)

Hi there everyone,

I started to play one month ago and I enjoyed to play as Elementalist. And, after some researches I decided to go fully glass cannon. But, after read some guide and build around some forums, I’m unsatisfied about my crit. dmg, and the rate of my crit. chance.

At the moment, my stats are : power 3.346, Crit. chance: 53%, crit. dmg: 89%.

As I was reading some forum, people were writing they can actually reach over 8k dmg, which I never did with my end setup (full berserker’s set + divinity rune, full berserk jewels, + staff + sigil of fire). I can barely reach 4k, and 5k if I’m lucky probably in combo with some others spells from players.

I’d like to know first if this is normal, and how I could improve my build. I’ve 30/20/0/0/20. I don’t want to sacrifice the larger aoe spell from 20 spec arcane. Preferred to go fire, but maybe that I’d do more dmg if I’d switch 20/30/0/0/20?
fire: 6, 7, 12
air: 6, 9
arcana: 1, 8

So, my question is how I could improve my build to maximize my dmg overall, my gear, or whatever so I can hit like those people reaching apparently huge amount of dmg. In my opinion, it’s probably coming from some potions giving crits. dmg. But, atm I’m searching to know how I could improve my glass cannon build, gear, traits, etc.

If you have some advice to help me maximize my elementalist full glass cannon overall dmg, I’d appreciate your comments, cause I don’t see what else I can do, except to use potions to increase my overwall dmg crits. I even used to play with sigil of fire to have this 5% chance crits.

Will it helps me also to have an legendary weapons staff? (don’t know much about it yet)

I’m thankful to everyone who will try to teach or give me some advice in advance.
