Personally, I think elementalist are fine. I cant say for sPvP though, as I only play PvE and WvW.
I do have two gripes though, which may or may not be working as intended.
The first is that, since there is no weapon swap, you are range locked. As a corollary to this, you are also more or less locked to whether you are an aoe damage dealer or single target. I’m fine with being stuck at one range, but being stuck as either a single target or AoE type damage dealer is annoying.
The second thing is just a numbers issue. Lowest base health, lowest armor class make for a very squishy build, without being able to say ele out damages other classes. This is somewhat balanced by having fairly good array of defensive skills (not downed state or the fact that mist form invulnerability doesn’t affect conditions). Though thats where the learning curve comes in. A surprisingly large number of people just spam skills without trying to time them.
There seems to be an unstated cooldown on it though. Chain swapping attunements doesn’t proc it every time.
