New freshair build?

hello,

Can anyone explain to me how exactly does new freshair work in pvp (spvp mainly). Makes me freakout every time it kills me or somebody within one second.Thanks in advance.

It must be the weaver variant, because the core sc/f fresh air build cannot instakill unless they slot arcane wave. or set you up with gale and dragon's tooth.

There are 2 varieties. Fresh Air itself, and Lightning Rod (what I use).

The skills you have to look out for are: Plasma Beam (Fire / Air dual skill) and Earthen Synergy (Air / Earth dual skill).

In the actual Fresh Air build, the usual combo has no cc involved so you can just dodge it. It goes: Arcane Blast -> Plasma -> Attune air -> Lightning Strike -> Arcane Blast -> Attune air again (All of this within 1-2 seconds).

Keep in mind that there are other variants of the combo where the elementalist uses Gale (2s knockdown) or Earthen Synergy (1.5s stun). In that case, you have to stun break right away. Since you're a rev(?) you can stun break and dodge at the same time so you'd be okay. As long as you dodge their burst, it should be an easy match.

Lightning rod variant has other routes. One of my favorites is to root someone with arcane blast, then cast earth / water dual skill below them (or vice versa), into comet and attune to air / lightning strike. That's also a lot of damage and vuln.

Plasma Beem crits for 5 time for ~2000, Lightning strike for 3-4k, arcane blast 2-3k, air attument 2-3k and the air auto attack. Around+20k damage assuming you do not dodge or have protection. Earthern synergy it hit for 3-4k but stuns. If you notice a red line aimed at you dodge you will mitigate some of the damage but its hard since the combo has mostly instant cast skills.

Thank you guys. Can anyone share build via http://en.gw2skills.net/?

FA build are more about ending a fight so try not to fight players for a prolonged period of time otherwise you will lose. The core FA elementalist can stay and fight better than weaver but it has less burst. Just swap weaver for water and you have a build that can sustain better.

Maybe against light armor or in wvw. Plasma doesn't do more than 7-8k in pvp.
