Guild Wars 2

This is how I felt too!
I absolutely love my little asura elementalist. I’d tried a lot of the classes and I main on a Necromancer. I did fine in PvP with the Necro, but it never captured the fun I had with my Necro/Mesmer in GW1 (what with all kinds of fun DoTs). I casually made my elementalist one night…and now she’s my main. In PvP, I do a lot of support healing and rezing…but also have no problems KO’ing people. My survivability in sPvP is about the same as it is on my other characters and I typically outlast the majority of my World’s zerg in WvWvW, while still contributing. I switch Attunements constantly, and I feel like all the skills and stuff kind of flow naturally together.

Elementalist has been really fun and I agree with the statement “built for PvP”. Though I do see it could be aggravating to play if you like to melee…or just bang your face on the keyboard instead of thinking out what you’re doing. I think the higher skill curve is part of the fun of playing the profession though! The only complaint I have is that…sometimes it seems that the damage I take is HUGE and other times it seems normal, but typically I just attribute that to my doing something wrong in that moment.
