[Thieves are fine, you're just bad]

Always good idea fight against thief close to own tower. When you start to lose you can run inside.

[What's causing this?]

That kitten have killed me many times. So annoying. 60 man blob running over you because kitten mesmer can't blink over floor blank. Anet probably have added this feature in game so blobs get more kills. 🤦‍♂️

[CELE IS GETTING NERFED]

Ai recomended me new gear that is stronger than cele ✊

For a **Core Elementalist** using **Scepter/Dagger** in *World vs World* (WvW), you want a mixed stats gear combination that maximizes **survivability**, **damage output** (both power and condition), and **boon uptime**. Scepter/Dagger Elementalists have great hybrid damage potential, with both condition-based skills (Burning, Bleeding) and direct damage (from skills like Phoenix and Arc Lightning), so focusing on a well-balanced hybrid build is ideal for sustained combat.

Here’s a recommended mixed stat gear setup to optimize your Scepter/Dagger Core Ele in WvW:

### Recommended Stat Combinations
1. **Marauder's** (Power, Precision, Vitality, Ferocity)
   - **Purpose**: Increases direct damage while adding critical hit chance and Ferocity for burst potential, and Vitality for survivability.
   - **Why**: Marauder’s offers more health than Berserker’s, which is critical in WvW where you need to withstand burst damage from opponents. Precision ensures your direct damage abilities will crit more often, while Power and Ferocity maximize that damage output.

2. **Trailblazer's** (Toughness, Vitality, Condition Damage, Expertise)
   - **Purpose**: Provides condition damage (Burning, Bleeding), while adding toughness and vitality to help you survive longer fights.
   - **Why**: Scepter/Dagger Elementalists can apply conditions effectively, and Trailblazer's makes your conditions last longer (due to Expertise) and deal more damage while also making you more tanky.

3. **Carrion** (Power, Vitality, Condition Damage)
   - **Purpose**: Balanced condition damage and power with a focus on health.
   - **Why**: Carrion gives you both direct damage and condition damage, as well as a large boost to health. This is great for keeping you alive while allowing you to deal a mixture of power and condition-based damage.

4. **Diviner's** (Power, Precision, Concentration, Ferocity)
   - **Purpose**: Boosts your ability to generate and maintain boons (like Might, Swiftness, and Fury) while increasing direct damage.
   - **Why**: Concentration is valuable in WvW, especially when running builds that rely on boon uptime for survivability or extra damage. Diviner's ensures your boons last longer while maintaining strong direct damage.

### Suggested Gear Breakdown
- **Armor**:
   - **Marauder’s** (Primary pieces like chest, legs) for more overall health and crit power.
   - **Trailblazer’s** (Shoulders, gloves, boots) for toughness, vitality, and condition damage.
 
- **Weapons**:
   - **Scepter**: **Marauder's** for direct damage crit potential.
   - **Dagger**: **Trailblazer's** to increase condition damage and tankiness.

- **Trinkets** (Amulet, Rings, Accessories):
   - **Carrion** or **Trailblazer’s** for a good balance of condition damage and survivability.
   - Consider **Diviner's** for the amulet to help with boon uptime and hybrid playstyle.

### Runes and Sigils
- **Rune**: **Superior Rune of the Balthazar** or **Superior Rune of the Traveler**.
   - **Rune of Balthazar** boosts condition damage and burning duration, great for Scepter/Dagger ele’s natural Burning application.
   - **Rune of the Traveler** gives a nice balance of stat boosts (Power, Vitality) and movement speed, helpful for WvW mobility.

- **Weapon Sigils**:
   - **Sigil of Energy** (on both weapons): Restores 50% endurance when you swap weapons, great for dodging more frequently in WvW.
   - **Sigil of Cleansing**: Removes a condition when you swap to the weapon set, useful for surviving against condition-heavy opponents.
   - **Sigil of Doom**: Causes your next attack to inflict Poison, which helps counter enemy healing.

### Why This Stat Combination Works for WvW
- **Survivability**: Vitality from Marauder’s, Carrion, and Trailblazer’s ensures you have enough health to avoid being burst down quickly in zergs or 1v1 fights. Toughness from Trailblazer’s also helps you mitigate incoming damage from both conditions and direct attacks.
- **Hybrid Damage**: Power from Marauder’s and Carrion ensures your direct attacks from Scepter abilities hit hard, while Trailblazer’s and Carrion boost your condition damage, allowing you to deal strong burning and bleeding.
- **Boon Duration**: Diviner’s pieces will extend boons like **Might**, **Swiftness**, and **Fury**, which are key for increasing your damage and survivability.

This hybrid setup provides a solid balance between damage, survivability, and sustain, allowing you to contribute effectively in both solo and group WvW scenarios. It gives you the flexibility to fight using both power and condition damage while maintaining a defensive edge to survive longer engagements.

[CELE IS GETTING NERFED]

Why you so mad if you don't even use cele? Your mad mixed stronker than cele stat combo still stronk. 🤦‍♂️

[Spear is AMAZING (What STAFF should’ve been)]

It's so annoying how they nowadays just add some gimmick so weapon skills can be totally bland and boring. Funniest part  is that gimmick is so weak that you don't even notice any impact.

[willbender problem]

Because my one shot core guardian using judges intervension.

[Cele gear.]

Because celestial elementalist who use only autoattack is much more dangerous than power ele who try to do  silly damage combos.

[edging is not worth. also, spear sucks.]

This basic ele stuff. Probably didn't even test whole thing like pistol four bullet special attack. It does so low damage that it's probably bugged. When you play ele only circle kitten inside fields reward you.

[How can my girlfriend join me in my team if I am new to a guild and she isn't and now we are on opposite teams?]

Main problem is that you have only one girlfriend. You should have at least one girlfriend in every big alliance.

[WARCLAW]

Doesn'r really make any sense. How you using dodge in combat if you can't push it while mounted? 🤔

[WARCLAW]

Kind of funny how character jump is higher than warclaw. 🤦‍♂️

[Please stop reseting wvw ability points]

Whole ability point system is totally pointless anyways. You can't even spend extra points anything.

I haven't received any tokens either. Other map i got like 50 tokens.

[You need to increase map capacity if the meta event DPS checks will stay this tight.]

Compeleted meta while playing my normal core necro life blast build.

[Where did the 50-man squads go?]

Sure pugs wanna make some squad when enemy have two blob guilds +pugs in one eb blob. Better just gank some enemies and keep participation up.

[Necro Spear...]

Damage did feel low in WvW.

[Falling star spear and infusion]

How this work? Can i salvage gloves, change spear stats and put infusion in spear or do i need to put infusion in lege gloves and use that glove skin?

[Warclaw leap & stamina broken in WvW]

Jump jump, dodge dodge. I don't understand. 🤔

[Arenanet, I hope that you know you just killed Dagger Mirage...]

Oh no some wannabe mesmers favorite build got nerf. Think positive. At least you don't have to use lame boring weapon anymore and you can play something fun. 🤣

[Wizard vault weekly]

Ok ty all.

[Wizard vault weekly]

Does is reset tomorrow? I mean if i do weekly's today can i return them tomorrow after patch and use those points like legendary chest or do i lose points and need to do weekly again?

[What's up with pistol]

Can’t one do the achievemnt with any class? Why don’t go dual pistol thief, use valluns meme build with endless unload and kill everything.

i mean i dislike thief and love ele but this would be so much easier. xD

Because there is new achievements. You need to use class new weapon that anet added. Like necromancer sword, mesmer riffle, guardian pistol and so on.

[What's up with pistol]

How people even use this? I try to get 1000 ele pistol kills and it's a pain. Damage did feel bad and then i was thinking maybe whole point is to get 4 bullets and use that big dmg skill, but it doesn't do much dmg either. How it's more fun play core engineer and use 3 pistol skills or play thief and mainly use one skill than play ele and use 12 skills?
🙄

thats not an exploit, its just having multiple accounts in different teams to have content covered if matchups are dogwater on other account(s).

Yes totally valid reason ruin match-up or two. 🤦‍♂️

[Camps get tagged (swords) instantly now when attacked - Why?]

Well how zone blob that own everything in empty map would get kills otherwise? Of course my new tactic is kill one guard fast as possible, tp spawn and run fast back in safezone cliff look how big blob come blobing in camp.
