||1. Introduction ||
\==========================================================================//
Hi. Elementalists are known as the primary "Dark/Black" mages (basically damage
dealing mages) of the game. (If you wanted to be a "Red" mage, become a Mesmer,
"White" mage, become a monk, and the melee classes are self-explanatory.)
Elementalists have the option of chosing 4 different elements (fire, water,
air, earth) for their spells. That's basically a tiny it for Elementalists, but
there is much more to them than just this.

//==========================================================================\
||3. Elementalist Basics ||
\==========================================================================//
So there are 4 elements, right? Each govern a different area of your type of
Magic, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Each of these different types give you
different types of skills, which vary from each other greatly. Your third thing
to remember is Energy Storage. Energy Storage has only 3 spells that branch off
of it, but you gain 3 more energy for each skill point you invest in here.
//==========================================================================\
||4. Elementalist Attributes ||
\==========================================================================//
Energy Storage- Gives you 3 energy per each skill level, and improves the
skills that branch off of this.
Air Magic- Improves air magic.
Earth Magic- Improves earth magic.
Fire Magic- Improves fire magic.
Water Magic- Improves water magic.
(duh)
//==========================================================================\
||5. Pre-searing ||
\==========================================================================//
Unless you've this is your second character, or you've done your homework, you
may not know you start out in a land many call Pre-searing or Pre-apocalypse.
This is your tutorial ground, and you learn many of your basic skills here.
This place is basically the "noob" grounds, and is there to help you learn the
game. There are a few things to know for Elementalists, as well as other
classes in there. If you have Elementalist as your primary, or the job you
chose at the beginning, you will start with the skills Flare and Aura of
Restoration. Through a few missions you find in various places, you will gain
Fire Storm, Glyph of Lesser Energy, Ward Against Melee, and Ressurection
Signet. I have yet to find where Ward Against Melee is, but I've been informed
it is in Pre-searing. To get Fire Storm and Glyph of Lesser Energy, find your
way to Wizard's Folley, an ice mountain. You have to get to the middle to talk
to a person which grants you the spells, but in return you must ward off some
elementals. To get Lightning Javelin and Blinding Flash, you must go to
Foible's Fair and take a quest from one of the NPCs in there. To get the
Ressurection Signet, talk to the person standing in the Altar (outside Ascalon)
in which you are revived when you die. The person will tell you to go inside
town and get an ally and come back out. I advise you to do as many
quests as you can possibly find around here, and get up to AT LEAST level 7
before taking up a Charr Mission, which Sir Tydus warns you there "is no going
back."
//==========================================================================\
||6. PvP ||
\==========================================================================//
Not very many people use Elementalists in PvP, since you have virtually no
armor and are killed easily (compared to warriors). You can mix your defensive
earth or water spells into your offensive mix, but it'll weaken you greatly.
You could just try and boom everything, but if your booms aren't successful,
you'll be in a lot of trouble, as they can come up and kill you easily. AoE is
a definate yes around here, as it can deal a lot of damage to a lot of people
if they're unluckily bunched up. You can hex with water, but if you were to do
that, being a Mesmer is easier. You could just sit and penetrate armor of the
Warriors/whatever with your Air magic, but like I said, not very many people
use Elementalists in PvP.
//==========================================================================\
||7. Secondary Profession ||
\==========================================================================//
Remember, everyone has their own opinion and I won't tell you that you
absolutely cannot play (insert class here), but not very many people find it
appealing, and you may not either later in the game.
Mesmer - A definate Yes. I chose this as my secondary profession, although some
people may disagree. It has some great hexes, defensive, and offensive spells
to aid your spell-casting needs.
Monk - Another yes. You can use only a few spells, but they'll come in handy.
Ressurection will appeal to most people, and you can heal yourself when you're
hurt.
Necromancer - The third yes. You can leech health off of people, and still come
back with hordes of undead and hexes. This gets scary around multiple enemies,
though, but you should be able to ward them off with your Elementalist AoE
skills.
Ranger - Okay, you're getting wavy there. Rangers have ranged attacks (duh),
but they don't add a variety of spells to your spell-casting pool, except for
the ones that deal with bows. You can try it, but I won't guarantee it works.
Warrior - No. As much as a spell-caster with a sword may seem cool, it doesn't
work. Warriors have to be close to the enemy to attack, but that's where most
Elementalists die (unless you just boom everything). Stances also help you, but
I still feel like you would get hurt a lot and die VERY quickly.
//==========================================================================\
||8. Elementalist as a Second Profession ||
\==========================================================================//
Elementalists can fit into most classes quite easily. There are a few classes
that would benefit more from it, and some that would benefit less.
Mesmer - Yes. Gives offense, defense, or hexing skills. Skills cost a bit, and
Mesmers don't have THAT much energy to spare.
Monk - Yes. Gives offense, and you could use that when you're not frantically
healing your dying warriors.
Necromancer - Yes. Basically the same as Mesmer, except you might want to lean
more towards hexes here.
Ranger - Ehh.. Maybe. Long-ranged spells for offense can compliment your bows,
but you already have bow skills. Defensive skills could help you take some
blows, but your magic is limited and that takes away the job of Warriors.
Warrior - Ehh, maybe. You have really low mp for magic skills, but you could
use the extra defensive boost from Earth Magic, or offensive magic when someone
else is taking the blows.
//==========================================================================\
||9. Choosing Your Element ||
\==========================================================================//
The type of Elementalist you are weights heavily on your primary or secondary
job and the type of element you chose to wield. Most people stay in one
specific element, because being a jack-of-all-trades just makes you a useless
hunk of flesh, as your skills are notably weaker than others your level. Since
this is literally what everyone does, the game has specific armor (which
doesn't relate to your magic, but what kind of magic you can resist,) that can
name your special element. Pyromancers are fire, Hydromancers are water,
Geomancers are earth, and Aeromancers are air. You only get to see Elementalist
gear (a generic set for all Elementalists) before searing, so
don't fret if you don't see the type of armor I listed here. Also, as I've
noted here before, each element gives you different types of skills. If you
want to be generic, be a Pyromancer, a heavy DoT dealer, or just a boomer. If
you want to have a Mesmer or Necromancer as your primary or secondary job, you
can either be a Pyromancer, or a Hydromancer. If you're a Hydromancer, your
hexes will mix in very well to your current mix of hexes, and water magic also
gives you a few notable offensive and defensive skills. The not-so-popular
elements are air and earth. I've seen great Geomancers at work in PvP, as they
can live almost as long as a Warrior/Monk with their great defense. I have yet
to see one soul be an Aeromancer, and I don't know how well they function yet.
They can pierce armor, which is a plus against Warriors. They can blind, which
is a plus against Rangers. They can also knock down, which is a plus against
spell-casters. I don't see why more people become Aeromancers, as they can be
multi-purpose damage dealer.
In most cases, however, people see Elementalists as Pyromancers, meaning they
exist just for the purpose of damage dealing. You can catch some people off-
guard if you're not a Pyromancer, but show to them you have your perfectly good
reasoning for not being generic!
//==========================================================================\
||10. Choosing Your Weapon ||
\==========================================================================//
So now that you've got your basic character down, you have to choose your
weapons. There are two main types of weapons for pure spell-casters, wands and
staves (no not staffs, but staves). There are also other ones for a kind of
"hybrid" spell-caster, such as Cestas for Necromancers, but since Elementalists
don't have those for primaries, I won't go in to that right now. Wands are the
main choice of most Elementalists, as it is a long ranged attack, and most give
you some sort of bonus for spell-casters, while leaving the
other hand for your nifty artifact. Staves are -very- unpopular, as they take
up both hands, and I have yet to seen a staff that gives you a better bonus
than having a wand and an artifact, other than it's high damage (compared to
wands, but don't think it's high. You can't out-damage a Warrior with those
alone =P). Most wands and staves have their own individual element attached to
them, such as a Fire Wand. It doesn't matter what type of wand or staff you
use, as long as you can use it. You'll find that most good wands and staves,
later in the game, have certain skill level requirements to be able to be used
as stated, and it may be a good idea to meet the requirements ;). If you have a
secondary or primary job that uses different weapons, go ahead and use them.
It's not as if wands are that important to the Elementalist, as most of the
time is used casting spells. Having a different weapon, such as a bow, lets you
rest a bit between spells and still keep a damage output. Remember to use the
weapon that you meet the requirements for.
Now for the second hand. Most Elementalists use an artifact (such as a flame
artifact or scroll) that compliments their element. Just as wands and
staves are, they have skill level requirements later in the game, and it would
be a good idea to meet the requirements stated by it. If you have a primary or
secondary job that uses a different second hand armor/weapon piece, you may
choose to use it, or not. To me, spell-casting classes have greater boosts from
their second hand than melee classes, as a shield usually doesn't have
many effects relating to melee classes (such as just plain old defense). If you
want to, however, use them, there's nothing wrong with that, but in my mind,
artifacts suit you better.
//==========================================================================\
||11. Tactics ||
\==========================================================================//
Okay, now the reason why I didn't put this in with the PvP Section is that this
part doesn't just affect PvP. It also affects PvE. Like I said thousands of
times, your role is determined by the magic you use. Fire Elementalists tend to
dish out most of the damage, but they stay back away from the enemies,
just as a good ranger or monk should do. Fire Elementalists can also run in
from time to time to boom the enemy, but you should only boom when the enemy is
almost dead, or the enemy is coming to you. Either way, there's only a few
times where you should boom the enemy, and it shouldn't be used as a main
attack. The main attacks a Fire Elementalist should use are Flare, Fire
Attunement, Rodgort's Invocation, and a few other fire spells that you may find
useful. Water Elementalists tend to have Necromancer or Mesmer as their
primary or secondary job. Why? the hexes compliment each other. More hexes is
always a good idea, especially when you can shatter them (Mesmer skill: Shatter
Delusions) when they're about to die and give them the finishing blow.
Necromancers also have a variety of hexes, and more shouldn't hurt it. Air
Elementalists tend to attack the enemies that tank the damage, and run up
directly and attack you. These are the Warrior classes, and as Air magic can
penetrate armor, it makes them almost as weak as the people behind them. Earth
Elementalists can sometimes tank, but it's very risky. They usually tank and
stand right in the middle of their AoE's or just do direct combat (using their
skills, of course,) against the enemy. Some people may have other preferences
for elements, but these are the main, generic ones.

||13. Overview ||
\==========================================================================//
Ok, so now you know that Elementalists are very flexible. What you can do
depends on which skills you invest in. You still have to remember, the majority
of Elementalists are Fire Elementalists and those are damage-dealing
Elementalists. Many people see Elementalists as -just- damage dealing classes,
and that is not true. All you have to do is just try out a new build, and see
how far you can go. I've personally seen Earth Elementalists going head-on and
killing Warriors in PvP. Basically, Elementalists are the ones who can be
whoever they like. =D
//==========================================================================\
||14. To Do ||
\==========================================================================//
1. Finish all "Gained At: " for skills
2. Brush up on Tactics
3. Write in-depth parts for each element
4. Complimenting Skills
5. Complimenting Primary and Secondary job skills
6. Make everything more extensive
7. Confirm Everything
8. Write "FAQ" part
