You know this is the ELEMENTALIST forum, NOT necromancer. The dead should stay dead, don’t you agree? (PS look at the date of the last post).

Continue a thread, people cry. Start a new thread, people cry. Post on a forum, people cry.

Alternately, people could learn to deal.

I just have to ask, how do we know that sword ele is not going to be ranged like GS mesmer and hammer rev?

Data mining a few weeks back showed it will likely be a melee class. Also, you need to consider that so far it seems to be a mainhand only weapon – unlikely that eles will dual wield Sword.
…
Ranged sword with melee dagger would be a weird combination, so you would be left with only one option – sword and focus, which kinda goes against their goal of having build diversity if it only meshes with one of the off-hands.

Main-hand torch.

How do you mix up a 4 element class? Hybrid elements.

How do you do something new and unusual after ranged greatsword/hammer? Melee torch.

What gives you both? Main-hand torch.
