Elementalist require long combos and perfect rotations just to do the same amount of damage as a burst thief or mesmer, and we have worse survivability. Essentially, we require far more skill in order to play at the same level as other classes that require a minimal amount of skill. That would be fine if we got something out of it, like our potential damage was higher but it took more skill, but to invest all that practice and work just to be as good as every other class… It’s stupid.
This comment was not made by me, but it just about sums up how I feel about eles also.
