I'm having a hard time choosing a second profession for an elementalist. Can anyone write some pros/cons on having either of these as a second profession? TY

i am still PvE'ing (i'm not gonna do to much PvP till i get settled on what skills i gain benefits from), so i'll give you my PvE opinion.

it all depends on what you plan on doing, i.e. what role you want to play within your groups.

for me, i wasnt interested in healing, and i didnt want to go toe to toe with the monsters. so that was the elementalist. well, the draw back of that is not being able to take too much damage. so i chose necro.

i specialize in fire magic (for PvE) and death magic. i chose death cause i always have a group of minions running out to keep the baddies grouped while i AoE their butts to h*ll. but, the mesmer is good to stop others from casting on you. my personally, i am all about damage. people say that elementalists are weak and cant help besides spell casting, well i am a level 13 with 390 health, so if i need to take a few shots for the healer, its all chedda.

so, all in all, i would think about what role you want to be when you get into a group.

do you want to deal out damage, and use all the corpses you caused to your advantage? or do you want to deal some damage but also stop other spellcasters? its up to you my friend.

justr dont let anyone tell you whats great and what isnt... its all about what character you want to use andhow you use them

I have a Ele/Mes lvl 20 80 hours, as my opinion, Ele/Mes - A support attack build, like when u coperate with A WArrior, it 's best, since u can cast Gale, then Hex Breaker for allies got hex, using Air, vvv, or get Warrior as a lure, wipe them out by Fire Storm, Meteor Shower, Phoenix, Fireball, vv..

But ... i already start new cha Monk lvl 4 cuz my favorite style play 's not support attack, i rather play protective+reflect

SupporT Attack, only work if u have strong team whole bunch of Warrior, if not ... only a monk or mesmer could kill u ezily
