Can elementalist have a pet
No.
Only rangers can tame animals and run around constantly followed by something.
why would an elementalist be allowed to have ranger pets?
it looks like an elementatlist is not powerful enough compared to other professions
it seems like a good an idea
Elementalist is the squishiest combination possible, so when you’re not used to attunement swapping and constant moving in combat, you may feel like it’s weak at early levels; but once you reach level 25 or higher, and have the proper equipments (greens), you can take on 5 to 6 mobs at once with no problems, just like any other professions can do.

Believe me, elementalists are powerful if played well.
The trick with elementalists is to switch elements regularly as needed. Generally speaking fire spells do more damage, but you need to use them all to be effective.
