I never played the Elementalist a whole lot but I did quite a bit of open world stuff and did fine with sticking to one element. But if you plan to do dungeons then you might want to switch it up a bit to help your team mates.

THE RUINED CITY OF ARAH: SEER PATH (PATH 4)
SUNDAY JULY 19, DIRECTLY FOLLOWING GUILD MAKE-UP MISSIONS (~4:30 PM EDT)
Event Leaders: UltimateIke, appletoasty, Levyne, and Zeroth
Challenging Content Ahead! GAFGuild Tackles the Hardest Dungeon!
Arah Path 4 is notorious as one of the game's toughest challenges, and we're here to make sure everyone has a good time completing it while proving that friendships will overcome all hardships!
We will step into the dungeon together with as many people as we can find and assemble the greatest teams GAFGuild has ever seen, all to do battle with Zhaitan's most loyal and powerful undead minions.
Requirements:
Recommendations:
- A level 80 character - Preferably one that is reasonably well-equipped and that you are comfortable playing as. Just be ready to adapt when a fight calls for it!
- Powerful Potions of Undead Slaying - We will provide these if necessary to anyone unable to acquire them.
- Mumble - You won't have to talk, but you will need to listen! We can use Guild and Party Chats for small things, but it will benefit everyone if we can mass communicate via voice chat.
- Time and Patience - We will do our best to shoot for finishing in less than two hours, but we don't want to leave anyone behind! It may take some groups longer than others to clear each challenge, so please be willing to wait and cheer them on so everyone succeeds!
- Superior Sigils of Undead Slaying - Any spare weapons you can fit the sigils onto will greatly benefit from the effect within Arah.
THE TEAMS
*The number of parties will change depending on how many people we can get to commit. We want each party to be a mix of both more and less experienced players to ensure everyone is able to help where they are needed most.

ARAH
ARAHAHAHAHA
Yeah it's crazy considering you have to cycle through three action bars essentially. Toolkit, utilities, weapon. Four if you use a kit on top.

The F5 toolkit has been sending me for a loop. Totally crazy.

Yes! Any preference for a team?
No Arah-specific experience is required, just know your class and be willing to learn

No real preference, edited out my quote as I thought it made it look like I was demanding your team, haha.
I will have potions and sigils, as well as mumble ready. So whoever needs my vampire abilities is fine by me.

Haha, ok. Guardian is a lot of fun, probably my favorite class.
I understand that, but I feel like if they're going to be using these kinds of things for press they could at least try to put some effort into it. The game needs more Canthan faces. :I

Well I'm stealing you for my team, so there :3
I will have a butt load of Arah potions to hand out the day of, for anyone who doesn't run Arah often.
Uhm.. that's not Shiro. It's a random Rev.
This is Shiro in GW2:
I think Nika looks fine. The hair is too dark but the rest is okay. I just wish GW2 had some GW1 Assassin armors.

ele looks fun dont get my wrong i just wish one damage type was viable and you didnt have to switch between them alot

I went into this game wanting the same exact thing because I had played other games in the past where that play style was viable so it was a huge learning curve for me.

I wish Anet would make another villain like Shiro, Shiro was bad mofo, fuck up gamers in Faction, then made gamers rage in Gate of Madness mission, those days were fun..
But we got Scarlet...
I thought Scarlet was pretty badass. Just coming up with those alliances, then just driving the breachmaker into LA.
Even her fight was pretty awesome, with the different phases and the music that evolved during the fight... Those were the times.
Also I'm not leet enough to be on Levyne's team, I just hit 14k achievements yesterday

;_; Stupid work. This would have been fun to be a part of.
Ive decided that whenever combat starts in this game i should have this playing instead of the vanilla game

PvE content in general is simply rather easy. You can make any manner of crazy nonsense viable if you want it bad enough

Been playing some GW1 recently and everytime I come back to this game I become a little bit more jaded about mesmers in GW2. They just feel so generic in comparison. Bummer.
Shame it's passed your bedtime.

Can I be a maybe on your team?
More like before wakey wakey time.
I'm playing GW1 as well, currently going through Eye of the North for the first time. Pretty cool to see the races that we're so familiar with in GW2 in GW1.
Visually Eye of the North hold ups really well, in fact some of the areas look as as good as some of the rougher looking areas in GW2.

Would be great if I can get invited into GAF's guild.

Just read some reddit comments on adventures... gonna puke
Guaranteed to work every time.
Never thought I'd ever duo Arah 4 for fun.
It was actually a lot of fun overall. Defeating the Melandru boss was some sort of weird puzzle, kind of a different sort of satisfaction when we learned how to solve it with only 2 people. Grenth was easier than we anticipated and was clearly designed for a party of 5, another cool little puzzle. The other bosses weren't much harder with 2 people compared to 5, to be honest..except
Simin was the worst of it, unsurprisingly. The mechanics for the invis/regen and the petrification seem to work somewhat randomly. And we ended up getting sparks to appear before she would even be in the regen state and etc. Bugs bugs bugs. Either that or some weird set of inconsistent rules. But mostly bugs. The stars finally aligned and we ended up killing her. I have proof!
Good practice for sunday.
Thanks for having me along, Appletoasty.
