Hi,
I'm a first time player (and newbie to these forums - hi!) and can't choose if I want ranger or mesmer as 2nd profession for my elementalist.
Mesmer seems like the smart thing to do, from what I've read it comboes very well with elementalist.
But I love pets. Every game I've ever played I've ended up (if possible) with a pet. But in this case it'll take up 3 skills slots (charm animal, comfort animal, call of protection) which seems like a very hefty investment.
So does anyone here have experience with good E/Me or E/R builds? What would you advice? Do the smart thing, or go for the kittykat (a "something" stalker)?
Btw, I know that near the end of the game I can change my 2nd profession but that's, well, near the end of the game and it'd be nice to have a viable build before then .
I'm playing Prophecies btw.
Thanks.
Please advice: E/R or E/Me?

I'd go with ele mes. Ele ranger with pets are usually just to look pretty. So if you wanna look pretty by all means go ele ranger. The pet won't be of much use to you though.

You could also just use minipets just to have pet and have whatever propfession combo you want

Pets are a pretty big investment in terms of skill slots and it'd really hamper your ability to be an el. Assuming you bring a res and an attunement spell, that'll leave you with only 3 skill slots.
Mesmer the better secondary choice of the two.

Mesmer. Arcane Echo really helps.
I don't think you should pressure yourself with the secondary prof though. My ele started first with a necro secondary (for I never played a necro before), and yes, nothing really worked for in synergy, but I still had fun trying to combine skills from the two professions. Just experiment and enjoy.

Thanks for the advice!

Mesmer in my opinion. Personally though, I started out with an E/Mo.

E/Me because the ranger doesnt offer much for the ele, especially in the beginning of the game where you cant change professions.
Mesmer skills you might want:
Arcane Echo
Mantra of Resolve
Channeling
Your secondary doesn't matter too much at the beginning of the game, especially in prophecies.

Ele monk, cause a year and a half back, after a monk dropped out of THK (I still didn't run proper builds back then), I kept the team alive along with another monk solely with heal party heal other, and healing breeze.
