PvE Elementalist

I have just ascended, and have been a fire elementalist, but recently I have wanted to switch to Air. Ive tried air in PvP and am well aware that fire and air are both very useful in PvP. But I know fire is quite a bit more useful in PvE, what im asking is this: now that ive ascended, we can have 8 people in a party, does fire become less vital in this portion of the pvp game? Or should I just stick to fire whenever im PvEing?

I would just stick to the build you feel comfortable playing all the time, in both PvP and PvE. Fire still looks viable in PvP, though I wouldn't use the exact same skillset that is great for PvE.

I have a Mo/E and use alot of Damage over Time spells both in the Monk Smite Tree and the Elementalist Fire Tree...

This Tactic is very powerfull and allows me to drop lots of baddies in PvE.

However, it's VERY slow to set up. And a player knows he/she can avoid damage by takin 4 steps to the right, etc, etc... (An NPC just stands there and soaks it all in)

PvP is all about speed. you need to hit that s.o.b. hard before he hits you.

Just my 2 cents.

You know, you could just reset your attributes and switch out your skills for pvp, and just change your headgear for the correct + skill tab.
