Immediately after the hotfix patch I noticed markedly improved FPS compared to normal, but my frames were also dropping to zero at random times which doesn't ever happen to me. My graphics options are the same as usual. Did anything change?

If you can commit to the class and learning the proper rotations, Weaver offers some of the highest damage in the game.

@Blood Red Arachnid.2493 said:With rare exception, no matter what class you play you have to learn the rotation. However, IF you learn the rotation, ele DPS is pretty high. Personally I've found power sword weaver to be pretty simple to learn.
The problem isn’t about learning rotations, the problem is learning Weaver rotations specifically. They’re pretty tedious and a lot more complicated than every other class out there, it seems.

Hi all! I've been playing Elementalist casually for quite some time now and would like to start doing raids. My question is, what are my chances of any raids wanting to take me along if I'm not committed to learning the ridiculous rotations for weaver builds? I'm currently running a Scepter/Warhorn build on Tempest that was recently put up by SnowCrows, but I'm unaware of the rotation for this build so far. Is it just as hard? Are there any viable builds that I can run that don't require learning ridiculous rotations and still be be able to find raid groups? I know its a bit selfish to expect to go on a raid without wanting to learn optimal damage rotations, but is there ANYTHING out there for someone like me? lol

I'm also open to Tempest builds as well if they are viable!

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to decide what is the best gear route for me to go for Raid and Fractal content. I would also like to do PVP content as well and noticed that both PVP and some raid builds use Sword and another off hand weapon. Is there a build where I could utilize the Sword and another off hand weapon for both PVP and Raids/Fractals to avoid needing so much different gear?

@"Kelieto.6375" said:Okay so we have a starting point for you to work from!1) First of all you need to replace as much of the minstrel gear as you can. The toughness will mess up the tanking on some bosses. You don't necessarily have to get rid of ALL of it but as much as you can will help greatly. Having less than 1.2k shouldn't be a problem but getting as close to 1k as you can is the goal.2) You need to understand that while Healing Tempest is very strong, you may encounter some people that tell you you're playing an "off meta garbage build". You can completely ignore them because sure, the build isn't meta but it's incredibly powerful in the correct situations. I myself would have no problem if someone joined my group and wanted to play the build but not everyone is like me.3) You want to ideally find a nice training static. These are surprisingly difficult to find despite the fact that there are many and I really mean many people like you who just want to get into raids. Y'all need to find each other and group up! Be on the lookout for guilds recruiting in the LFG or on the forums. You can even try the guild recruitment subreddit. I've had success finding members for my group from there before and I hope you find success too!
I have some recommendations for quick fixes for your gear:Option 1: You can buy Exotic Magi Armour for cheap from the TP. If you have a character with Level 400 tailoring, you can check to see if it's cheaper to craft any pieces yourself but I personally wouldn't bother. You can do the same for the Exotic Magi Staff. Then you can farm Ascalonian Catacombs and buy 6 x Superior Runes of the Monk. This will require 720 tokens so it will take 3 days minimum. Finally, you can pick up a Superior Sigil of Water and Superior Sigil of Transference off the TP.Option 2: Farm Ascalonian Catacombs for the armour and runes at the same time! At 1380 tokens for a full set, it will take you a minimum of 5 days to get. This is because the Exotic Magi armour you buy from the vendor automatically comes with the rune! The Exotic Magi Staff doesn't come with any useful sigils so you might as well go the TP route for that.
Now for trinkets, take a look at this for a backpack and these for amulet, rings and accessories. Yes they are only rare and yes other people will say I'm insane for recommending them but they are cheap af and readily available. Add in some cheap Magi upgrades and you'll be good enough to go. This will literally be the quickest way for you to patch up your gear issues. No toughness issues with the tank and more than adequate healing. I think you can get some Exotic trinkets from this npc too if the temple is safe!
If you don't mind taking the time to prepare more then your best bet is to farm some Living Story currencies or something and buy various ascended trinkets and pick harrier stats. You'll eventually do this anyway but if you happen to find a nice group and can't wait to get started then I definitely recommend the rare magi/exotic temple stuff as a cheap starter thing.
I'm assuming you already know the rest of the build in regards to traits and skills.
Of course, it's easy to say "join training groups" and "join this" and "join that" but the hardest part is finding a nice group you fit well into for long term raiding. Definitely go back to my point 3 above once you feel you're ready to get started! I don't play on NA so this is as much help as I can give you. Good luck!
This is great advice! Thank you so much for your help! If I were to focus on a damage build, what set would be most viable for Eles atm? I have both Hot and PoF expansions.

@"Kelieto.6375" said:We're missing some info before we can help you out.Which region do you play on? NA or EU?Which professions/roles are you planning on playing? I see you have an "ascended staff" which is great but you "switched to minstrel's recently" and honestly that already sounds like bad news. Did you actually mean you switched FROM minstrel TO berserker? With more info we can help you out!
I'm playing Staff Tempest on NA servers right now. As far as I can tell Staff Tempest with a focus on heals is the most viable build for Elementalists right now. Before I stopped playing it was focused on DPS, Berserker's, but they've been highly nerfed since then it seems. I know Weaver can be one of the best builds, but that its also really difficult. I mostly play WvW, so I switched my gear to Maklain's/Minstrel's for that. I'm really not sure what build is best for eles in raid/fractals though. From what I know, they are sometimes used as secondary healers after Druids.

Hi everyone! I would like to begin raiding but I'm not really sure where or how I should start off. I have ascended staff and one ascended gear piece, with the rest of my gear being exotic. I also have most of my ascended accessories except they are for a build I'm not longer using (Berserker's, switched to Minstrel's recently). Is this gear enough for groups to let me in to start raiding or learning to raid, or do I need to build up more first? If I can start, which are the best raids to start off with that I may be able to actually find groups for? Thanks in advance!
-
I think its more due to being paired with a new server like someone mentioned earlier and possibly the event. WvW was perfectly fine last week and I had no issue with huge zergs/raids and finding commanders. I did not know the GOM was paired with a new server, so that explains a lot!

@hunkamania.7561 said:the game is dead period
You've never played a dead game before :v lol

Hi everyone, I started playing recently and have been participating in WvW quite a lot in the past 2 months or so on Gate of Madness. I was out of town earlier this week and when coming back it seems like WvW is just completely dead this week lol There's hardly any commander tags up, and the few commander tags that have been up have been...questionable commanders lol I haven't had this happen in the last 2 months I've been playing..Is this normal?

Hi everyone, I've been playing Revenant for a few days and have not been able to find out how exactly energy regenerates. Is it over time? Or when I don't use any skills? Or something else. I watched a video that explained how energy is drained, but it never said how I can regenerate it lol! Please, any help is appreciated! Thanks

My windows 10 recently did some updates and now every time I have a loading screen, my game minimizes and shows my desktop. It automatically goes back to the game by itself once it loads though. Its still kinda annoying..

Improved FPS and increased frame drops after patch?

Hi everyone, I haven't played in about a week, but immediately after patching, I noticed that I was getting way better frames and performance than usual. It was really nice until I started also getting huge frame drops at random. My screen will freeze for about 1 or 2 seconds, which has never happened to me before. My graphics settings are the same as before, nothing seemed to change there. Was there anything changed that might be causing this? Sometimes I get frame drops in WvW fights, but I'll also get them while doing nothing, or opening my inventory, which is unusual for my computer.
Running Intel Core i7 7700k, GTX 1060, 16 gb ram. Again, frame rating to zero has never happened until I patched today, and now its frequent.
