Guild Wars 2

Run nomads and have fun in large scale zerg fights

Yes and No.

Yes you could basically match a bunch up and max out on different skills
but no, because you really need to be good to know how to match and when

Celestial (full) is a crutch.

These are the accepted stats

tuffness – 2600
healing – 500
vit 19k
crit – 25%
crit damage- 170%
pow – 2000

Just a rough amount. The theory is just too much to write today.

Updated, sorry for late updates. Was on holiday

Thanks Ken :)

Updated. Sorry folks about being late. As im still on holiday.

Will from now on post them here as well so that all the latest copies are saved. Also adding the final s3 scores here for record purposes.

A female asura with kittens ?

Theres a post about it also on

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2j8dsc/psa_all_servers_are_very_high/

And no one has the real answer. Some servers i can understand the reason for their drop but for the top server, i have no rational reason to offer.

BG if you want to join the Sith or JQ if you want to join the Jedi

BG if you prefer Klingon or JQ if you prefer Vulcans. Live long and prosper.

BG and JQ have equally good roamers. So does TC.

All have fun and cool communities.

Having friends on both, I really cant say. But i do know that JQ has a lack of numbers during the 8hr NA timezone.

Sorry dont have EU results. Ask for it on reddit

I have a friend that used auto click to join a t1 server and had to try for over 7 weeks before he could get in.

Yes please cluster the NA servers

Whatever route you take, please consider your OCX/SEA/MIDDLE-EAST/EU players that play in NA servers

Its a Halloween surprise for all wvw players

Final Season 3 score updated

Congrats to the winners. Well done.

I did the same. We should be able to use them in WvW. Now i feel like i wasted my gems

Well we WvW players are second-class gamers in the eyes of the mods, devs and anet.

Actually we are forth

1. PvE
2. PvP
3. Skins
4. WvWvW

Servers have been bleeding WvW players since season 2.

Which is quite sad.

It took DAoC about 3 to 4 years to see declines in RvRvR population forcing clustering of servers

While it only took 1+ year to see GW2 WvWvW population decline substantially.

Very sad indeed. Esp since this game has so much potential.

Its not a hybrid build but it is indeed very unique.

Hybrid builds are usually 02066 or 00266 with celestial all round and lemongrass with hoelbrak runes and a pair of daggers. 02246 with cantrips and a hybrid build is alot of fun

Edit

Found a hybrid build. This is the usual hybrid DnD ele

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJAoYhcM6c23wwBf0AdAB5xqvRBlzbjB-T1BEABS8AA0S5Xf6BA4EAIoSQMV/Jm9HCAgA4n/8n/8n/sf7bf7bf7byAwMGA-w

The 02246 is actually what I’ve discovered recently with d/f and it feels very versatile and fun to play. I haven’t decided on an amulet yet, but strength runes and battle/doom sigils work for it.

I’m trying to stay away from using Celestial amulet with this one if at all possible. Right now I’m using Carrion. I’m putting up a way better fight against guardians with all those extra heals from water and EA. My only concern now are those HgH engi’s; those guys still hit like trucks and with all the condi removal I am packing it doesn’t seem to matter in some fights.

Again, my issues are boiling down to L2P issues now I think, thanks to all the awesome replies this thread has gotten.

Unless aiming for full bunker or full condi, the hybrid ele has nothing to worry about. Just get Celestial have a stress free time. Or in the alternative find professional build makers.You find them from referrals. They will make you a build that beats anything out there for a price(when i mean price i mean 200 to 500 gold)

Dolores.5471:

I wish the first part of magnetic grasp were similar to signet of earth, it seems much easier to land.

LOL yah.

In sequence

1. You catch the enemy with SoE.
2. Then Hit Magnetic grasp
3. Attune to earth as u fly to your enemy
4. Hit Earth 2 , 1, then
5. Hit Earth 4 (Timing is crucial)
6. Air 2 (One of Most unused skill in game) plus air 3
7. Air 4
8. Air 5
9. switch to water and air 3 for chill and air 4 followed by Air 2
10. Fire 2 then F3+F4 and position Firegrab

This is just an example on how to have fun with Grasp and SoE with high damage result and with CC result

Diva.1476:

Did you give this a try?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Diva-s-Condi-Signet-Build-Video-Added-1

Yes this build is an approved build.

Build 1 is okay.
Build 2 is not suggested
Build is better than build 2

As I am bound by agreement with the guild I can not state my DnD build. So please dont send me PMs

Bg – You may have larger forces but Atleast you gave the gold match a good challenge.

TC – You guys are fantastic. Thank you for also giving the gold league a good challgene.

SoS – Despite your number disadvantage u did well. Your SEA is refreshing.

FA – To all the friends i made i will miss you. Voted Most friendliest server

Mag – What you lack in number u make up in skill. The fight clubs were awesome.

JQ – To my family , there is no doubt we did amazing given our NA/EU numbers.

Overall, I had fun. I am sure some did.

Which class is more fun?

• Ele. You have more viable sets and builds fit for both PvE and WvW. But its very frustrating to master at first. This is why eles start of learning sceptor and focus before proceeding to staff then to Dagger and dagger, though this rule is not fixed.

Solo PvE gameplay?

• Ele. But both are fun.

What are they like early/mid/late levels?

• Ele is easy to learn hard to master. And the skill ceiling that you attain is not as rewarding as say a guardian in WvW. Cant comment on PvE skill ceilings.

Yeah its a little insane at times.

They need to reduce the LOS requirement especially when the game is inherently laggy.

The staff ele is a multipurpose character. Good long range single target and AOE DPS , Good Long range AOE CC and Good AOE heals. You are a must for any average sized >10 player fight. Your positioning and ability to follow commands to the letter are key.

The mediguard is a must have in many group situations >4 players

They are used together.

For healing power you see diminishing returns past around the 700ish mark while i advise no more than a 1000 if you must. While i would say the least is around 500.

The DnD ele really isnt your heal bot though the DnD ele can heal quite decently if u are very close. Dodge heal + Water 5 can equate to instant healing of around 7k at 700++ healing power.

Theres a condi build somewhere in this page or next. Copy that one.

Condi eles can sting, but i do not believe they are op. Infact u better of making a condi ranger is thats what you want.

The runes are not working as intended for the aura sharing eles. Report this bug.

Congratulations to BG. You fellas put up hell of a fight.

Loving regards

-Fuzzy

Some added stats. Also some corrections made.
Chart now includes point comparisons to Season 2.

Updated. ENjoy the last week and GL

Because ranks means something in WvWvW

tanztante.6532:

haha, yeah… i actually tried a necromancer in BWE but soon (after 10 minutes) switched to ele.

oh, and the circular minimap.

LOL and remember everyone in WvW was kitten poor and no one could afford siege

LOL we should rename this thread “Memory lane”

Unless the ranger is all out 1v1 spec, most get destroyed by dnd eles ability to cover close to 2400 units of range with stability up and condi clearance.

So see ranger. Insert said daggers into ranger in under the time the ranger can sneeze.

Profit.

SaintSnow.6593:

He quit.
And yea these builds were around since day 1. I played s/f in beta too. We’re talking back when the endurance bar was located above your utilities with the little running man icon. That kitten old.

LOL memories. I remember going up to this ele that had 2 daggers and going, “Im going to kitten u up with my staff”. I was soon dead.

Awesome signet to have.

Hoelbrak is widely known as the replacement for strength runes though strength has overall better damage, but not by a big margin.

Hoelbrak – Very highly recommended for DnD builds

Dang. I got my hopes up too early

As seen on

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2hwia5/datamining_upcoming_features_from_the_halloween/

What will it contain?

[&AgEfBwEAAA==] World vs. World Support Pack

Emissary.3792:

If WvW was better gold than PvE, then nobody would do PvE.

That must never happen. It will destroy NCsofts revenue.

No

/15 Char

Increase lemongrass to -60% Condition duration and boost its vitality by a base to+100.

OR

Bump hoelbrak runes to -30% from its current -20%

Tip 8

Wear PVT

Anet, please merge servers. 9 Mega Clusters. Base it on the average WvW population on a per hour basis. Increase the RNG in Glicko. Sit back and watch the fun. In the mean time while we waqit 420,786 years for that to happen perhaps a pure PvP server would be insanely fun. Just imagine ganking everyone in Tyria.

reddit if u really want to talk about this or else face this posts getting pulled

We just found Neo from the Matrix.

With Ele, and todays ability to gear up with celestial, you do not need to change too much your build between the roaming dnd 00266 and 02066 builds. and ease to swap to staff if u want to zerg though u can zerg with a DnD but u have to be really good.

Not sure about mesmer

I love eles.

+1 Would see again

I didint insult Serane. I insulted you. I’ll have you know I started with d/d since open beta. I played hybrid, bunker, support, condition, dps and bust builds with it. As proof there’s a post around this same thread of me raging because many others started to run d/d because of Daphonix. Everything you are going through right now I already experienced it including the training, dueling, wins, builds, etc. This discussion isn’t about your or my experience. It is about you discrediting someone many acknowledge and respect.

Lol like I said, I’m done on your ring around the Rosie. You don’t even know what you’re talking about at this point.

No, you are just trying to shift the discussion to something else, instead of admitting how stupid you were to discredit Dapheonix. You really do deserve to be insulted.

D/D was Anet by design. We don’t know if 0/10/0/30/30 was created by Daphoenix or if he’s the #3982 to catch on. However, he made guides, text tutorials, theorycrafted and promoted D/D in general. He even suggested celestial before it was hype.

He helped a lot of players get that initial grasp/skill boost to push them to master D/D eventually. Sure, you can be much better than he is, you may have come online and instantly played it like a master. But what he did was to teach, and comprehensively. He didn’t have to. He made D/D accessible to a lot of people and they also had fun. For that, I give respect.

I’m such a necro.

No he didnt create it. The DnD build was something that was created back in BWE when all the GW1 eles were thinking that gw2 would be the same but were proven wrong. Infact the SnD and SnF meta for the ele were also created during the BWE.

A little piece of history for yer.

BTW where is the guy?

Maybe Sparta is waiting ontop of the hill?
