problem
Ele has great dps potential (fire), its also the best “tank” style class in the game, if you trait it right (tou/vit)
I’ve found necro to be quite surviveable, it has a large healthpool and also a second healthbar if you use your f1 death shroud as such
thx for the anser
but what must you do
vs a groep of mobs with some use range atacks
i cant figure that out yet they hit hard and i die much
in story mode
also i love to do every task in the world but sometimes there no players around that do the same
but i wanne do that task i hate to turn back to find a orther 1
but i no its gone be dam hard
so how you do that you alone vs a army of mobs
maby for guardian and warrior not much of a problem ??
when against melee mobs: kite, dodge their cc
when against ranged mobs: use reflects, dodge their attacks(if applicable), inflict weakness, crowd control them, inflict blindness, strafe back and forth in place for mobs with slower projectiles to make them all miss to your sides
First off all, you are describing the same problem I had when I was playing my ele. There are a few things to consider.
1: AoE vs single target. Although AoE is very nice to damage a large group at the same time, it isn’t always the best one. Considering switching to single target damage and specially condition damage.. Each member of a mob is dealing damage. so lets say there are 10 foes, each dealing one damage/sec. so if you use AoE damage to kill them all off at the same time, you get 10 damage/sec during the whole fight. However, if you kill half of them with single target skills you reduce it to 5 damage/sec.
Another consideration is how to trait. a defensive traiting is a great way for getting the job done.

I also had issues when starting out as an elementalist. What build and weapons do you run? And what utility skills do you have? Those can have a major impact on whether you survive or not. If you haven’t, consider slotting in some cantrips- they will save your life many times. Armor in Earth reduces damage and makes you immune to control effects, which helps greatly against ranged mobs with knockback. Cleansing Flame is vital against condition-inflicting mobs. Lightning Flash can be used to close gaps or escape.
