If you are using cantrips to gain stacks of might, you are doing it wrong. They have long cooldowns and shouldn’t be used like that.
The difference between me fighting at close range and anybody else fighting at close range is that they are wearing armor made of mithril (or w/e, i’m no crafting expert) and mine is made of someones old cloth straps that I fashioned to cover myself.
No, you don’t use cantrips for the sole purpose of gaining might stacks. I’m not talking about a might stacking build. But every time I hit 50% health, I get stability, protection, AND 3 stacks of might. how is that not awesome? Or every time somebody tries to run away from my churning earth, I appear right next to them again with 3 stacks of might…and then….BOOM. Or if I get loaded down with conditions, I burn everyone in the area, lose three of them, and gain 3 stacks of might.
And armor value isn’t that important. The main advantage that some of them have over you is a bigger health pool (and that’s not all of them). You have to use your defensive skills at the right times and you have to get good at dodging. That’s true for ever profession. And it works just as well for elementalist.
Sounds to me we got the exact same build. ‘cept I don’t focus on Toughness and rather went all out precision and power with a tad vitality snuck in, ofcourse this makes me squishy, but I still do less damage in a burst than what any “melee” class does. Toughness might be something to try out.
I’m loving the cantrip thing btw, imo there really aren’t any other signets that compare.
I still get facerolled by guardians though.Really? I don’t really have problems with guardians. The thing I have the most trouble with is hundred blades from gsword warriors. It’s high damage and there’s not much warning. It’s tough to see it coming.

Do you mind sharing your build and equipment stats where you focus on?
I do think Eles are alright. They only need the downed state fix to be in fair compared to the other classes and a slight HP bump
Yes this is a powersupply problem. Follow this guide
some steps might apply to your problem
A Charr thief doesn’t fit imo! Too huge. Go guardian or warrior if Charr. I say either go Human thief or Asura thief. Now those look kitten! Just wait til you see the Asura animation!
Human and Asura also got the best dances!
The Elementalist has a very high skill cap compared to the other classes and is not rewarding for the diffulty to play it in PVP atm but im pretty sure this will be addressed in the future by Aranet . It is also most squishy class of all and has the lowest HP. I suggest you start with the Necromancer as first toon as it can have up to 5 pets out at the same time but as stated bv others they are not good at the moment. Some people even say that playing a necro is boring. In my opinion a Ranger is nice class to start with to build wealth and experience the game so that on your next toon you won’t have much difficulty.
Hope that helped

I agree with all. I am the favorite target in sPVP due to this but im pretty sure Aranet will change this soon!
