Guild Wars 2

Thanks everyone for your great inputs, especially those of you who took the time to write real in-depth details on the Ele. After all your guys’ advice I think I’ll stick with my Ele a bit longer and may try a D/D bunker build which I’ve heard of and seen vids of and just learn to play my class a bit better in that sense. Although I do like the staff build quite a bit so I think I’ll go back and forth between the two. Thanks again you guys.

I have a level 40 Ele, and have tried every other class to at least lvl 10, some up to 20. The more I play my Ele the weaker it seems. I always buy the best gear I can and weapons (I’m mainly a staff build, been playing with D/D as well) and was originally running Power/Precision/Crit armor with Vit for my jewels. But since I can play dungeons now I die all the time and don’t seem to be very beneficial to the team and just seem to weight them down. I hate how squishy the Ele’s are and if I go for a Power/Toughness/Vitality build there goes about all my power. I like the guardians a lot and theives seem pretty fun but I guess I’m just wishing the Ele’s were a bit stronger. I’ve looked up tons of posts and Youtube vids on how to play a staff ele and what armor to get and role to play and it seems unless you go glass cannon they don’t seem to be very strong. Any thoughts or advice? I just want to be able to have decent damage along with decent survivability but that doesn’t seem possible with the ele unless you kite A TON. And I don’t want to spend anymore time than I have to on my Ele unless it’ll be worth it later on. Guardians seem pretty solid.

I’m new to the game, lvl 30 ele. I have 5 laurels, is it worth getting the 2 ele random gear (I know its for lvl 80s) or what should I use my laurels for and should I save up for certain stuff?
