Guild Wars 2

It took me 4hrs to get into EB last night on JQ. Not sure why, never had to wait that long for anything in my life.

Without zergs wvw is boring. WvW is epic because of the large scale fights. Remove zergs, kill wvw.

I love being stealthy so I went 30 shadow arts (IV,X,XI), however, I have 40 trait points left and I don’t know what to use them on ( Please include perks when you suggest). I saw some people on youtube using vitality armor for a stealth thief and I am not really sure why… What would be the optimal armor/accessories to have? (With runes/jewels). Also, should I be going dagger/dagger with this build or something else? I have around 34 gold to spend on my thief’s gear, although I would like to use temple armor if possible, but if not, I can always buy off of tp.

So my staff ele build is 30/20/0/0/20. I usually tick around 4k-6k critical damage with meteor shower on enemy zergs, but that is not always the case… Fireball for some 1vs1 encounters usually critically hits around 2k-3k. Not sure if this is low or high as I see some classes/other elementors hitting into in the range of 7k-9.5k. I switch all the time between the different attunements, but not really worth it unless I am trying to cripple/stun enemy zergs or heal my allies. Fire is the only real attunement that actually does damage for me. I run full exotic berserker gear with ruby orbs on all pieces of armor. Accessories are all exotics with Exquisite Ruby Jewels. I use blood lust on my staff, not really sure if this is good for wvw, especially since I am running with my zerg 90% of the time. My Power is 2,3k, Attack 3,5k, Precision 1,9k, and crit chance 51%. Any thoughts?

I am new to this class and I have found it very frustrating to level up/ do wvw. I have been keeping up with my armor and weapons as I level up, but it seems my damage is still low and I die easily without kiting. I am looking for a build that is good for a mixture of both wvw and pve for farming/leveling. I love the aoe aspect about this class, it’s just infeasible for me to gather up mobs to kill because I die so quickly.
