Most difficult profession to master?
Engineer.
Elementalist second because they lack a lot of build options currently.
Elementalist lack a lot of build options currently.
Why’s that?
Elementalist lack a lot of build options currently.
Why’s that?
Because the Developers have stated that the class is meant to be played constantly swapping between attunements. This in turn necessitates the heavy investment of the Arcane line, which lowers the cooldown between swapping attunements.
Also, as the class lacks survivabilty from its inherent stats and skills, most builds also need to invest in the Water line for the self heals, to stay alive.
The resulting number of free points you have left over, leaves very few options in terms of meaningful choices in build variety.
