What would be truly awesome for an ele to have? A sword. I would come up with skills, but I’m fresh outta time. What are your opinions?
-Oscuro of Kaineng
Compensation Blast – 1200 range, 4000 base damage, 2 second stun, 400 AOE.
To compensate for all other elementalist abilities sucking, that is all.
Skill 1 is Compensation Blast
Skills 2-5 are all Flanking Strike
Nah, I think we have too many kittenty melee range weapons.
what we need is a range weapon that compliments the scepter and i think the pistol like the ones aetherblades ele use should be good.
New elite : Omnielemental Meltdown
PBAoE pull+cripple 2000 radius 4s channeling, once channel is over 2000 radius instadown everything, elementalist goes to the nearest uncontested waypoint.
Oh also the animation makes anyone who isn’t on Best-Performance to lag uncontrollably for 30 seconds.
Off-hand scepter would be a good place to start I think. The best part is that you’d only have to think of 8 new skills.
Other good candidates, balancewise would be two-handed weapons since they don’t run the risk of overpowered combos with the current single hand weapons.

Or, instead of thinking of entirely new skills, they could revamp the current ones so they are actually useful. Right now eles are balanced around inefficient button-mashing, a profession mechanic that binds us rather than helps us, and a lack of a weapon swap.
We are basically supposed to do our attunement dance and pop everything that isn’t on CD, and all of our skills are mediocre to bad simply because we have access to 4 attunements. That means that our profession mechanic is not designed for us to be in fire for one purpose and swap attunements for their purpose, but rather dodge through them all just to do even OK. Instead of having a bonus from the attunements, we are shackled to them…painfully. Then, because of this attunement swapping, we are locked into only one weapon set by design, which further limits our versatility and possibilities.
That isn’t even going into how we are the lowest armor, lowest vitality class that is simultaneously bound to Arcana and, to a lesser extent Water Magic……
