0. Elementalist Intro

Hello forumers,

I made this post on my own blogsite because the gw2 forum’s functions are rather limited, and its’ really tedious for me to organize my guide on there. This is my first blog on wordpress, so I’m not entirely familiar with all its functions.

Here’s my thread on gw2forum, and what this revised guide is based on:

https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/professions/elementalist/Guide-Mastering-the-D-D-ele-5-12-12

I am going to update the build section especially on big changes, since this is what mostly everyone will look at with this guide.

I would like to make this a seriously comprehensive guide for anything related to elementalists, and hopefully a guide for elementalist users in the competitive scene.

If you’d like to contribute to this guide (anything relevant to elementalists), fill out the form in the “about” menu :]

I need lots of help especially updating / finding out all of the information relevant to gameplay mechanics (cast times, aftercast times, number of hits on meteor shower, etc.)
