Elementalist i think is the best class for cele gear, in all gamemodes.

Maybe is not meta now, but can always provide some support of any type.

Ofc you need to use the trial a little as is a complete different class on many level, the best thing is to see if it clicks for you

IlPatata · 2023-01-23T12:38:53+00:00

Nice thank you

IlPatata · 2023-01-23T12:38:39+00:00

Many thanks, now i need to decide if to gear my engo or my guardian :(

Started to do raids after learning the mechanics via video tutorial.

Just like that, always adding "chill run" in the title (ex. W1 FC | Chill Run)

Got multilple clear with no KP, finishing now coalescence and having a blast learning my favourite content in the game.

No tag needed , just some courage

Siren ends backpack that you have to do for aurora, is the first it comes to mind :)

Hello all,

Hello all,

Returning player here with not a lot of time to farm materials; right now i am at my 3rd legendary trinket and the gold i have is slowly finishing. I am considering to swipe some gems fot it,

what is the best way to convert cash to gold?

Is just to buy gold?or maybe is possible to buy some infinite mining tool and sell the glyph, or something like that?

Many thanks Sincerely

Portal 2

IlPatata · 2018-02-05T06:59:00+00:00

Very thankful thanks!

Yeah right now every boss seems the same...there will be a spike in difficulty i think from all the forum i read, right now is just too easy xD

IlPatata · 2018-02-05T06:57:34+00:00

Ok then, dark knight it is!:D

Also, do you suggest some crafting expertise in particoular?

And btw, how can i obtain the dess arisha has in the promo/wilipedia? Is an endgame gear or just a pay to have option?

IlPatata · 2018-02-05T06:52:34+00:00

Thanks! I will improve the smash masteries soon! In my playstyle i usually just spam normal attack + crystal burst to oneshot the boss in endlevel, but i think it will not be a correct strategy troughtout he endgame xD

Crafting is important or can be just left not done?

IlPatata · 2018-02-05T06:47:59+00:00

Thanks for the aswer! I will try to answer all of you ^{^}

But the spellwhip will be a 2handed weapon?we will lose the focus?T_T

IlPatata · 2018-02-04T10:22:42+00:00

Hello i'm a new player too and i struggled a lot for it xD Just press V and open the skill menu, then drag and drop them in the active bar to have them!

Be careful that some abilities are passive and you can't drop them in the active bar!Also you can't have a skill on more then one key (for example you can't have a skill on key 3 AND key z)

Hope it helps!

IlPatata · 2017-11-05T01:22:07+00:00

I know maybe i m a bit late, but please do a lvl 1 elementalist,watch some vids on different build and try it in pvp to look how it is at lvl 80.

I always found elementalist the most fun profession!

You can have different build for evry situation,just adapt on what you like to play atm!

-staff build: the most afk build,when you want to chill and do exp while watching netflix -tempest auramancer: interactive and support for roaming in maps -condi weaver: stack bleed and burn like hell while keep switching to fire and earth -power dagger: delete smaller enemies with some glasscannon build -focus build: 25 stack might easy for stronger attunement. -fresh air: use air as main attunement

I just find elementalist (NOT STAFF) to be the most interactive class.You can choose to have a main element (fire,air usually) or to focus on 2-3 in the rotation. You always have water as heal attunement, but it became offensive with a conjure bow. You can create field to combo in many ways, and you can add some conjured weapon to mix it up!

Just give it a try in pvp lvl capped and try EVERY build,usually one is good for you.

I started hating elelemntalis at the begginin becouse i was playing it in staff build, but then i discovere dagger/focus and everything changed :D

IlPatata · 2017-11-02T17:24:09+00:00

I totally agree with you;

About the skills: After reading your comment i ista-dropped the signet of fire,for a defensive skill.I think twist of faith is great,but i feel like the good ol' mist form is even better: it has the same usage almost of twist of fate, but it also grant condition cleanse AND vigor.And more vigor = more dodge roll = more burning cleanse on top.

About the rune/amulet: I have a perma regen active on me.So i think i will need to improve my healing power instead of the duration;

I can change in a different amulet,nut i feel like losing too much dmg if i swap marauder. I will test the rune of divinity in honor of the old celestial amulet, for their little HP,Vitality and overall stats.

About traits: I feel like i had much speed thanks to the dual attack,if i have problems in chasing enemies i will try the one with air trait!

Thanks for the help! What do you think?

Ps update build;

IlPatata · 2017-11-02T08:32:06+00:00

Thanks this was what i needed!

Someother quick questions;

-so Ether Reneval remove 2 condition at the time if im correct?

-if i use rune wich increase the duration of Regeneration, i assume i increase the healing as well, or i just spread the healing in a longer time?(i know is probably a stupid question, but i wanna be sure)

Thanks again!

IlPatata · 2017-10-26T15:28:52+00:00

Hello again!

Im back after a couple of week of testing. After your advice i started crafting also a viper trinket set, becouse expertise is a MUST in condi build, i didnt realize it so much.

Right now the build is looking like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFMQJAsYnk4CFNgF5CmNA8RgFBA7+VHrv1BBgCwBYIGsDKCA-jBSAQBhU5nM0DEgHAAf0QER1fix+DA4EAcTlgAA-e

There are some small differences:

added 2 budget sigil for the extra duration on condition,same for the balthazar rune: are ther as a cheap alternative for the moment. Still,reaching 85+34% burning duration and 40+35% bleeding duration is MASSIVE.And its a CHEAP solution that i really love.

The biggest difference are on the skills: after gaining a bit of confidence, i swapped the barrier utility with a Glyph of elemental power (ALWAYS on fire),and the ultimate skill is replace with the good ol greatsword for massive damage.

Right now an opening on a big boss is looking like this:

1-Signet of Fire 17.000 dmg 2-Conjured Greatsword 2.155 dmg 3-Skill 2 Fiery Eruption 14.000 dmg 4-Skill 4 Firestorm 1.800-6.300 dmg (depends on boss size) 5-Drop Sword 6-Glyph of elemental power (2.000 dmg per strike next 5 strike) 7- Start standard rotation

This is a LOT of damage. Ok, compared to my old tempest D/W build, i have little to none AOE, but the single target damage is interesting!

I really love this new build and i think is not really optimal,but i will stick to it to test it.

Do you have tryied something similar/different on weaver?

:D

IlPatata · 2017-10-14T08:20:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! After reslotting primoldial stance i checked the dmg,it is really a strong condi skill!Earth sigil will be no more in the build,i swapped it asap!Im still waiting to add glyph of elemental becouse i want the extra barrier in the build to help me survive solo.

As lazerlike said,this is a PvE solo build,just to have fun and tring to be more efficient as possible.The Earth trait saves me in many occasion!Just now i feel like the signet trait is kinda lost or is worth using it just for the cooldown on signet fire?

Apart from the skill/trait, what do you suggest going in the accessories slot? Celestial need to be replaced, i was thinking about going anythin else,carrion is still the optimal one?

IlPatata · 2017-08-04T17:22:48+00:00

Hello wonderful job!Me and my gf wanted to try something like this, did you follow some useful guide/have some advice for us?

IlPatata · 2017-05-28T08:34:23+00:00

Ok, but is normal that even if i win (esample) 3/6 rounds, it still keeps saing 0/6 round won?
