Oh so you are going for the 2v1 excuse, never heard that before…
Haha you’re so ridiculous. You can try to pretend there’s no 2v1 going on but when both other servers are literally standing next to each other it becomes less of an excuse and more of just a fact.
That’s fine though. The same thing happens every time JQQ comes back up to T1 from being punked down to T2. They come up, fired up, focus on BG with SOR for a few weeks and BG drops in rankings. Eventually JQQ grows a pair and attacks SOR only to tumble ever downward back into T2 because without the SOR team up they can’t hack it in T1. This has gone on forever now and has been happening as long as the Henge of Denravi days.
Say what you will about TC and DB, at least they played to win.
How long until noodles leaves BG? You seem to be in the know…
Cursed Shore is plagued by culling, terrible commanders, and bugged mobs so you can’t get loot from them…Frostgorge has 6 champs on a route with less way pointing than CS and stupid commanders can’t mess it up…
Since this new update dropped, I have been farming quite a bit to finish my bank tabs. I finally did yesterday and after reorganizing everything, I noticed I could not label my tabs. So my suggestion is let us label our bank tabs because it would be nice to close them and have a reminder of what is in there.
On a serious note, what happened to SoR? Last week at this time they were leading( I think, or was it week before last?).
SOR seldom leads on the weekend but people simply aren’t playing.
Why is it every time SoR is losing they use the following excuses:
1. 2v1
2. Burn out
3. Waha the hero of JQ is too good
4. Sfeee the other hero of JQ is too good
5. we are stronger during the weekdays
6. OMG BG and JQ have a 50+ zerg

As the holder of The Missionary Position in the Holy Church of Jedsus Chris of Saturday Feints, I would like to take this moment to apologize to our regular followers who so love to hear the words of our Lord and Savior, Jedsus Chris. Tonight the Sister Fisters were performing our weekly ritualistic atonement for our wins, led by High Priest Deadlyfrost, by chasing down two blasphemers, building all the things, getting crabs and jumping around like idiots for an hour and a half. When we finally rid ourselves of the crabs we realized that there was no room for us to continue our aggressive storytelling to the face so we granted ourselves a well deserved night off. To quote the book of Cue, “There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say. You remain, my power, my pleasure, my pain.”
^.^ no wall of text only a fence this time
More like the yearning of a neglected youth trying to obtain attention in all the wrong ways…
Sometimes I wonder if the aoe limit is really just another excuse for helping promote skill-less play similar to the downed state. It almost seems unreal that they can’t match the tech of a game that’s over a decade old.
Dude at least 90% of their population wants skill-less play. So they cater.
We have ourselves a professional statistician here…
Sounds familiar. 99% of the population Zergs or doesn’t want an actual challenge and is terrified of even fights because they could lose. Anet won’t mess with a number like 99%.
FA is not even trying. And when they try, I feel they team with JQ to beat on DB
Because theres history between db and jq . doh. ANyway, had many good fights and duels today. Gn and cya all tomorrow
There is little history between us, I know I am the certified server historian, set aside some pre-disposition you have with a certain group of people, ill leave that up for arugement it feeds the forum entertainment.
Also i would like to remind “y’all” that we do not condone Walls of Texts we had an incident with a follower of Holy Church of Jedsus Chris of Saturday Feints. Just dun do it its painful to read for the lazy and indifferent. That is all.^.^
No one likes to read wall of texts that sound like an awkward adolescent pleading for acceptance by their peers. It is sad really…
Nah.
An Ele isn’t a good solo. In fact there aren’t any good solo classes apart from thief.
Ele’s Not particularly good at anything else either – skill mechanics are too clumsy, far too many sub-par skills. D/D is survivable in melee (barely) useless at range. Staff is OK’sh (very slow) at range but helpless when closed.
Any sort of Ele is hopelessly vulnerable to CC.
I think Fadeaway got it right.
This person could not be any farther off, I assume this is some fail attempt at a troll. An elementalist is crucial to a zerg because of the support and CC we provide through water fields, ice fields, CC, strong wall AOE, and much more. If you ever have played WvW you will hear commanders constantly calling for CC and water fields. As for roaming S/D is very strong now and with the right gear you can burst people down very quickly. However, thieves are probably still a better roamer but in zergs they are worthless.
I run a 0/10/0/30/30 spec and I swap from D/D and Staff in WvW a lot when I go from solo roam to group play. I noticed that when I swap two traits in Arcane switch spots. In the first spot, I have V Elemental Attunement and VI Renewing Stamina. However, when I swap to staff and go change VI to VIII Blasting staff the Elemental Attunement and Renewing Stamina have switched positions. Therefore, VI is in the 10 trait spot and V is in the 20. I was not sure if anyone else noticed it…
I love getting dropped into games already done and it tells me to stand there for 5 minutes until the next race. Then when I get to that race I lag all over the place…
This is probably one of the closest match ups of all time.
Why do people whine so much.
Going into Monday, everyone is within 10k of each other. Less QQ more pewpew.
Because both jq and bg whine about not winning. It’s perfectly fine when they stomp sor BADLY (due to coverage) like in the past………many many weeks. I never saw them complain about balance back then.
But when this matchup is the closest t1 has EVER been they whine incessantly. They truly only care about getting a W at the end of week. Sor core was forged through the countless weeks/months of never winning. We really are different from jq/bg as a whole.
More like forged in blob zergs…Here is a picture of the “difference”
So I have been trying this build out with the hammer and I have to be honest it feels clunky. Might stacks are an issue without boon duration/might duration, my stacks drop fairly fast by the time I finish the first hammer. In addition, I prefer to be at range instead of right up on the mob especially since we are light armor. I really enjoyed fresh air because of the mobility it gave as well as the damage while kiting. This also enabled you to DPS if you had to swap to heal and needed to wait for fire to get back from CD…
You have 20 seconds on the might stacks and 25 seconds if your full down the arcane line (this is all w/o boon duration runes). Even if might gets refreshed while you have the hammer it won’t be near 15-25 stacks since the duration of the boon is independent from reapplications of it.
If anyone has the math I would like to see how long the might stacks would be with full boon duration as opposed to scholar runes.
If your teammates don’t stack full vulnerability I would rather do 30/30/0/10/0. For grandmaster air trait take air training and use lightning hammer in air attunement. You get vulnerability stacking, +10% damage in air, +10% crit damage (almost as good as +10% damage with high crit) and 100 precision for even better crit rate. You’ll be doing more damage when not using lightning hammer and almost the same damage when you are.
Yeah I will probably swap to this however I’ll keep Renewing Stamina because if your using the hammer you need all the dodges you can get. I would rather be alive doing a little less DPS then hugging the ground half the fight…
Hmm I will have to try this with the lightning hammer…I also began to use ether renewal for my heals since there is only one condition removal move in water (5) and it has a long CD. You just have to be smart and know when to run out to heal/remove conditions.
How are you getting your vulnerability for Piercing Shards to be effective? You need to rely on the group since the air 25 perk is gone now.
Also when you are using the hammer are you just using hammer (1) or the other moves in it? I’m assuming it is spam (1) and use (5) for control.
I really like this build, however, you can get destroyed in dungeons if you miss a dodge or stay in too long. I preferred your other version you posted prior to this one, I had more options to heal with evasive arcana…I’m going to add in full PVT gear with Beserk Acc. to see if it off sets the issues I mentioned prior.
/signed. I changed my build and went into the new dungeon last night and really missed my healing. I don’t think anyone can evade those aoes from the cannons on the second boss for long no matter how well they dodge or how lucky they are.
I think this kind of build is more of a PvP kind of thing.
I just ran the new instance after adding in 5 PVT stat gear items and it made the instance much more manageable. I had a larger margin for mistakes and in my pugs I was always the last one alive kiting the mobs around. As for might stacks I can get about 18 solo but I have different sigils in my weps. I may end up adding one more PVT item just to top it off, my gear is only full exotic so no ascended atm but I will post likely go for celestial.
As for healing in this instance I ended dup using ether renewal which works wonders on both bosses since this build lacks condition removal (Water 5 or if you spec into water 10). On the last boss however it was difficult to get stacks going, I would get about 12 before I had to run and heal, so for that fight this build is rather difficult. However with Fresh air I still managed to do decent damage and weave in my might stacks when I could.
Does the lack of boon duration from Arcane have a noticeable difference? I see you’re running scholar runes in your build.
I noticed it somewhat, however, in many groups I have been in a lot of people are using blast finishers in my fire fields so I get 25 stacks in no time. I do notice that I hit a lot harder running scholar than water, monk, and fire. The key for me is to find the right ratio of PVT and Beserk for high end PVE/survivability.
Just curious on whether you changed up the rotation? I found myself in air a lot more using the instacasts because of fresh air procs. I also was playing around with Arcane Lightning and I really enjoyed it, since I’m running two arcane skills to begin with.

Hey I have been looking around for staff builds and I haven’t found any. I only see conjure hammer, D/D, and S/D Might stacking. Are their any viable staff builds? I primarily only do WvW and some dungeons….
I just recently came back to GW2 recently and have been playing around on my Ele in level 80 PvE (dungeons, open world etc.) and really enjoy the staff as my main weapon. After looking at many forums, I can’t seem to find any dedicated PvE Ele staff builds. I see a lot of D/D and conjure lightning hammer but no staff builds. Does anyone know of one? Or can provide a link to one. I would also be open to scepter builds…
