My opinion: other classes are boring
I find this as well. I can barely tell whether other classes are more/less powerful than ele (though so far I haven’t struggled with anything on my ele) because I always get bored long before even unlocking elites. Engineer is at least fairly interesting, but just not as fun.

NOTHING can beat ele in fun factor. other class feel like facerolling..i leveled my thief to 15 watching big bang theory at same time, you can do that on ele. that why anet hate eles because is just for smart guys
I feel you, man. When you are used to ele, playing other class seems so slow and facerolling. Press 1 if you are ranger, press 2 if you want to be Thief,……Not many professions has 4 attunement and can multi-task like ele can
I find the simplicity of other classes refreshing, myself. At least when I’m farming mats. Finishing up a warrior right now for this reason. Farming on an ele is exhausting. My war gets the job done with a fraction of the effort involved, and I’m really not looking for complexity when mining in Orr, I just want to hit the nodes quickly and efficiently.
I agree with Flavius. I love the elementalist, but sometimes I even avoid battles because I get exhausted at doing so much work to kill weak, filler enemies.
The simplicity and the elegance from other professions is refreshing. Their playstyle is more fluid and less stressful, where the strategy behind each skill’s usage comes from waiting for the best opportunity to use them (while auto-attacking inbetween), instead of playing keyboard piano so you can hit 2-3 keys at the right time each second.
With other professions, I feel strategical but relaxed at the same time. And I usually get better results this way, over playing elementalist like a crazy pro. :P
Maybe a little bit =P Hit 80 on the elementalist and now messing around on alts. Been leveling a ranger, thief, necro (find the least satisfying atm).
Enjoying the more relaxed play style now and again (but still love the ele #1).
I might have to try the engineer because it seems like they may have the same variety the Elementalist offers but with kits instead.
