Favorite spec and weapon for what modes?

I don't play ele a ton but I'm trying to transition more in to it because I like it's versatility and shear number of actions per minute. Trying to get an idea of what people enjoy about it the most and give it a try. I'm kind of getting bored of Sword/Dagger weaver tbh.

Game mode ?

Any of them

Dagger/Focus lightning Rod is pretty fun for Pvp. It can't carry a bad team like some of the Meta builds (ex. Fire Weaver) but it's a great duelist.

If perfected you can become a great sidenoder or team fighter. Works well with a duo.

Core?

I like playing core both in pve and pvp, feels like i'm working to achieve something (edit: or not...). Until we get a longbow.

I like core as well, D/D.

I do enjoy the mobility and versatility of the kit, but damage wise it's pretty meh from a pvp perspective.

No, weaver. You have to use unravel cause most of your burst comes from Shocking Aura, and burning speed. But the Dual Skills hit pretty hard as well. Especially with a lot of might coming from pyromancer's puissance

Open World: Fresh Air tempest (Air/Water/Tempest) with dagger/warhorn and staff for the occasional zerg meta.

PvP: S/D celestial weaver most of the time (water/arcane/weaver) and Burst Fresh Air Weaver (air/water/weaver) if I see that the team comp (both mine and opposing) is favorable for it.

WvW: Power Staff Weaver for zergs, support tempest when commander needs more reflects and heals, celestial Sw/d weaver for roaming.

Meanwhile, daydreaming about the Longbow Ele... someday...

I've used Staff Weaver for WvW for the longest time, but I've since switched to Cellofrag's all around Weaver build (

), offers great self sustain, damage and even good team support and healing! I'm still learning on how to duel with it, bit it's a neat build.

zerker staff weaver for wvw, marauder FA scepter/focus weaver for pvp are my 2 favourite builds, although FA doesnt do well in some pvp metas

Second, I play D/F Lightning Rod Tempest and it's funnnn

Staff Weaver for WvW zerg running, or Cellofrag's Weaver for roaming/small groups in WvWOtherwise Sw/D Cellofrag Weaver for OW (damnit it's just a fun build, I can't stop talking about it!!!)Staff Tempest healer/support in WvW is something I rarely see for zergs, but I enjoy it sometimes.
