this guy is making ascended weapons and he still doesnt know the basics of sigils….. thank you sir for buying and selling gems to players who need them we all thank you

snip

Staff is higher damage and with the 100% uptime fire fields, as long as your party has others that can roll blast finishers you’re much better off not using scepter (too condition focused)

I’d also opt for arcane shield over signet of fire. Lower crit chance but arcane shield can mean the difference between getting a meteor shower off or having to dodge and put it on cooldown.

Staff is great yes…if you have a second Ele running LH build
Scepter is just for might, anyone that uses it to auto attack should delete their Ele.
Imo, run D/F if you don’t know your Guardian, S/F LH if you have a Guard that knows what active defense is an Staff if you have another Ele running LH.

Arcane Shield is a crutch with a massive CD, I’d suggest going 66002 instead of 66200 if you really need more survivability .

Because people are lazy and cheap. They get their armor with dungeon tokens and that’s enough for them. Scholar is not even expensive, so it’s idd rly annoying…

66002 is idd the current meta build
S/P for trash
D/D for bosses

Thief has highest single target dmg, brings great support for skips(stealth), trash(blinds) and can spam pistol 4 to remove defiance for Ele’s Ice Bow 5

So yeah, thief is great in Dungeons, but in pug’s you’ll probably rip out your hair when they screw up the defiance or YOLO w/o stealth.

If you want swiftness:

Just run the build that apocom linked.

Good reading and video material for a rainy day!

Don’t you know? Underboob boosts your power by 500!
Monocle for extra awesomeness.
Magitech boots+legs > T3
And TA gloves, best gloves in game till they bring back Chaos Gloves

(or be awesome and go Elite Kurzick with chaos gloves and Blindfold)

Give this man/woman a medal!
And a sticky

Game mode?
PvE: dont use AH
PvP: Focus

ALL IS VAIN

Also close to 10K ToT bags.
4 Zuzu’s
1 Endless Tonic
0 Gwynefyrdds

Looks like this “rare” item has a lower drop chance then a precursor!
Just hope I’ll get one by the end of halloween ;_;

-Fixed exchange amounts have been set to simplify the exchange process and remove confusing rounding points.

How dumb do you think your players are, Anet?
This is just insulting…

you will have 62% Crit Chance in full zerk+Signet of Agility
Keen Observer: +5%
Side Strike: +7%
Banner of Discipline: +8%
Fury: +20%
= 102%
Didn’t list Spotter, because its already hard enough to get Disc Banner and Fury in some PuG runs.

So, as Oxtred said, go full zerk for PvE. If you get bad pug’s just use candied dragon rolls, Thrill of the Crime and Furious Retaliation and you will still have decent amount of Fury uptime+70 precision from the food.For Infusions, Power.

oxtred.7658:

Let me explain for those who don’t know about ooze:

Ooze has 2 attacks, one at 50-400ish range ( the six bounces) and one at about 400 or 500 to 900 range ( the 3 bounces while moving, immediately followed by a melee attack if possible) ( numbers are totally guessed but that’s the point, one ranged attack and one close range attack), so if you go far enough, he has no set up attacks for your range, and since all his movment is paired with an attack, you can afk range it pretty much everywhere. Try it, just aggro the ooze, move a bit far, and facepalm.

The facepalm is real ;_;
Guess I’ll just continue to solo/duo up to the tar and fight the ooze normally…

The ooze just shows that most pug’s cant even count to 6.
And yes, plz fix the WoR cheese.
“But its faster”
“But its easier”
“but its not a bug”
^excuses I have to deal with every day ;_;

But knowing anet, they will make the AoE unblockable and unreflectable, just like every broken Reflection in the game(ohai Malrona).

135K WvW kills:
0 Precursors

Open World PvE:
0 Precursors

Dungeon Paths(Hobby Dungeon Explorer repeated 410 times, but already did decent amount of dungeons before I got Dungeon Master):
1 Precursor(Zap)

Forged in MF(only did 3 Exotic Foci+Forge Stone, around 30K Dungeon Tokens):
4 Precursors(Collosus, Zap, Howl, Flame of Rodgort)

Bought on TP:
Dusk(650g)
Dawn(1100g)
Tooth of Frostfang(450g)
Spark(1300g)

A third Zap would be nice, as I got 1K g ready atm for bolt.
7,3K Hours, All 5 Precursors dropped in the last 1K I think.

I just ping WoR an SotA, most of my PUG’s stay with me and mellee.

oww, was talkin bout the 4man(first pic) :p

D/R
E/Me
R/A
E/Mo?

Here Miku, maybe this will satisfy your crit fetish :p

I feel sure that Sanderinoa and the guild will be back in the future[…]

I will, once this is possible in Guild Wars 2.

Nice Dervish

jingkangtan.6752:

6/2/2/2/2 tons of damage tons of modifiers
staff

Because Stone Splinters is so great for world bosses like Teq!

This is what I use.
Its cheap, high dmg and AoE condi cleanse for the Fear when you swap to Water.

Just received the reward for the Funny Sunny Bunny Challenge!
#PileOfSand

Fun Fact: P1 Exp Zerk Meta Build will give you the same pugs as P1 PO-TA-TO

Tman.6349:

It means “there are good players here so feel free to join with your minimum lvl, well-spamming staff Necro and we’ll carry you” right?

Also, owww there are good players so i can come on my lvl 66 guard to cm and get carried. Fun part is, he left 30s before the end boss died.
He ofc didnt know that cause he never got past the big house. It is, after all, a big and confusing house for new players

When I put Exp in my LFG it means I wont explain kitten to you.
I probably wont kick you, but dont expect any help. You should have read the LFG.

Tsk. Full Nomad’s with Mercy runes is the meta now.

Bu-but Dolyak runes make you even tankier !

but mercy is for 24/7 spam res. Because somehow people still die in nomads, even 5 wars run our of battle standards

Friend and I run a Nomads Guardian to duo HotW p1, come at me bros!

Shpongle.6025:

i don’t always carry pugs, but when i do, i use my full sentinell shout heal warrior

Not even Nomads? wtf….

Silv.9207:

If that hurts you, I can say that:
I use a celestial build with sword/axe and LB in pve and pvp. And in spvp I also use banners!
Muahahahaha!!!

Good thing I’m no Warrior main anymore! That would have killed me^

Heartbroken man, heartbroken.

This hurts my inner Warrior.
Axe/Axe
Warriors Sprint
Bad rotation
Axe/Axe
Accuracy Sigil
Air Sigil
Ruby Orbs
Did I mention Axe/Axe?

The video looks nice though

Cries Of Sorrow.5864:

i don’t understand how that disables room for MORE mobility in alot more efficient manner, but i guess we’re light years ahead by now… turtles.

sure you can burning retreat but that doesn’t mean u can’t use burning speed before or after it swap out to rtl and updraft along with windborne speed etc etc

Edit for guy under me “ever heard of weapon swapping” the elementalist can use all weapons at his disposal for massive and flexible setting up.
Funniest thing is, i never mentioned any weapon build or trait >.>’’

They just can’t handle The Train.

With food, but cba to wait for it to run out

They should put a Skip Spider Queen-portal in the gem store.

They work great together, just not on the same Ele.
For Dungeons, you want 1 S/D or S/F LH Ele and 1 Staff Ele. LH third AA is a blast and Staff Ele gives perma Fire Field for constant 25 Might stacks.

Edit: If it is for Open World, run what you feel like running. Could Start with an Eruption(earth 2) => Lava Font(fire 2)=> Arcane Wave(Utility) => Arcane Briliance(heal)=> Drop LH if target/group is not dead, if you get a third hit from the AA in the lava font, you would have done massive damage AND have 12stacks of might+loads of Fury(once you are lvl80 and run 6 in Fire line)

But yeah, for lvl’in it doesn’t mater that much, just run Staff with LH if thats what you like…both are strong. Just focus your gear on Power=>Power Precision=>Power Precision Ferocity(think this is available @ lvl65)

Dub.1273:

Remember the famous ranger letting his bear tank the grubs?

I remember when I was still on EU and you just made your ranger, you had the bear trying to res you and you stayed like that for ages because lupi couldnt kill the bear. Was like the ultimate down tank

Bear confirmed to be OP.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

good times, do miss Don’t miss the bear pulling deadeye shots through me though

Nova got your part of that covered. I still love you, though.

Would you come back if they gave Rangers Siege Turtles as tank pets? Or gaki’s!!

Force+Accuracy, as Miku said, is good if you only want 1 staff.
To be optimal, you need a couple staffs in your Inventory.
Force+Night for Night dungeons
Force+Outlaw Slaying for CM
Force+Undead for Arah

If you don’t have a lot of money, get 2 staffs. Force+Accuracy for Day time dungeons and Fractals Force+Night for Night time Dungeons and Fractals

Funny thing about Oozo’s video
It was before they reduced the amount of times immob could be stacked

Time of the video: immob could be stacked 5 times
Now it’s only 3 times

I don’t agree or disagree, just letting you know

Yes.

Oldirtbeard.9834:

I want to tank my groups from lvl 1 to Endgame.

Follow this guide:

1. Go to character creation page, pick Norn race and be sure to choose the biggest body type and make him as tall and fat as you can.
2. Equip any armor and paint it green.
3. Congratulations, you are a tank now.

Tip: If you want to be a german tank you just have to use grey dye

RagNoRawk.3625:

Warriors with armored attack (gain power based on your toughness) gain extra power when equipping dolyak signet (gain 180 toughness).

No, they do not…

It won’t work because it will create an infinite loop with Maintenance Oils.
Signet would raise your Vit, Oil will add precision, Practice Tolerance would then add Vit and you go back to the Oil.

goldenwing.9654:

Ylias.1957:

The animation is obvious and the cast time is like 3 seconds. I think that by then you should have reacted.

I love reflecting the Kill shot back at them.

EDIT: Look, Shad’s in the background. How epic!

It’s not even 2 seconds, let alone 3.

1,75s still easy to dodge

That’s not even a good Killshot oO
If you have blind on stealth, CnD and he wont hit you
or even better, use Steal when he kneels and use Whirling Axe
Laugh when he shoots himself

“it seems that now they are capable of destruction from afar as well.”
Killshot has been the same since start of the game, this has always been possible

A 26K Killshot when I was trolling around in EB(think this is at least 8 months ago)

Having 25 skills is the main reason I play Ele
Every attunement has it’s purpose and should stay that way, no need to dumb down the proffesion

I guess this is for WvW
Use Signet of Air and switch out before a fight if you really want the 25% IMS,
worst case scenario you get jumped and can’t change it back, but it’s not useless anyway since it is a Stun breaker+Blind(if you have the chance, do change it before a fight though)

If you run D/D, you’ll have enough in combat mobility with Burning Speed, RTL and Magnetic Leap + Swiftness from using Aura’s and Updraft
If you have to chase or run FGS is your best friend.

maha.7902:

So I did a hammer abom kill and it clocked in at 5:12. My GS kills have all been around the 2:50 – 3:20 mark.

Take from that what you will.

But you don’t have to worry about getting guns! See? VIABLE! http://i.imgur.com/dH8sYjK.gif

Ogre’s pet will pull mobs, they are even worse then ranger pets.
The small boost of toughness wont be any good on Brawler and 6 rune bonus is meh.

Copy/Paste from Haviz’ and Zelhyn’s guide on Dulfy

Rune of the Ranger

Cheap alternative (2-3 times cheaper) to Rune of the Scholar. Instead of Power, it focuses on Precision. It’s 6th bonus might look like it was much harder to maintain but it works while your miniature is active.

Rune of the Flame Legion

The cheapest choice of all runes in that list. As all runes here, it focuses on Power but instead of Ferocity or additional Might duration, it concentrates on burning duration. Similarly to Rune of Strength, its 6th bonus is directly tied to its secondary focus. That is, this rune grants +7% damage bonus as long as your enemies are burning which is easy to keep, especially with a guardian in your party.

Ruby Orb

Used to be decent and cheap alternative to Rune of the Scholar (especially when having troubles with maintaining 90% HP threshold) but Ferocity implementation made it even worse. Increases Power, Ferocity and Precision.

Is your friends name Daecollo?
