so i've decided to make a new char and was looking at making an ele. i already have a monk, a warrior, 2 rangers, and a necro. i tried assassin, didn't really like it, i tried a rit, it was -okay- but nothing super fun like i had on my necro. so i'm trying to decide between either Ele or Mesmer, perhaps maybe a rit but probably not.
so what do you guys think? are ele's fun to play? is it hard to get a group as an ele? does anyone have BOTH mesmer and ele and can say which one they enjoy more and why?
need some help deciding

Ele's are great fun to play - they do high damage but can be quite versatile. Most PvE parties of 8 try to get at least 1 ele, so it's not too tough to find a group at the moment. Mesmers are better for PvP, nearly useless in PvE and no groups take them, usually.

If you enjoy playing support, play Elementalist.
If you enjoy more offensive roles, play a Mesmer.
In PvE, I played an E/Mo, spamming Heal Party and Wards. That was a great load of fun, and I did survive Thunderhead Keep with only me as healer.

I prefer elementalist personally. They're pretty versatile, and can play lots of roles. Plus they get huge amounts of energy, which is really nice. I've enjoyed my elementalist because I think they're one of the easiest classes to run with henchman. If you can't find a group to join, well take henchman along and it usually works pretty well.

go elementalist, you can always change your secondary to mesmer...fast cast isnt that important anyway
