Ele question
Masked Killah
Hey i wanted to start a ele and i was wondering what the best second profession is. Could you plz tell me what You think and a few tips.

Monk is always good. It adds versatility.
Masked Killah
yeah i thought about monk. What do u think about nercomancer?
Tsukiyomi
My sister who's an ele uses mesmer as secondary, so maybe try mesmer?
Sunrazor
When in doubt, go Monk. At the very least, without spending any attibute points, you'll have reusable Resurrection.

depends on what you want to do later in the game...but if you arent far and havent experimented much you may want to do monk cuz it is the simplest for someone who is knew to the game. If you are not knew to the game i would suggest mez as a secondary for its energy removal skills for possible future pvping.

Sounds pretty good. I am not a noob have a lvl 20 R/E and two lvl 15s a M/me and a W/Mo and i wanted a caster. So i was thinking going E/N but E/M sounds pretty good too.

i have never used a necro except a few blood skills as a monk/nec so i cant really help you out that much w/ this one. But give your post a couple days for more people to look at it. There are no bad profession combos but you will just have to research the skills a bit and see what necro skills compliments your primary. If its pve then i do know that certain blood spells work really well for assisting monk in healing and such.

2ndary monk. Now I think I've said too much ;p
As for 2ndary nec... why would you want that? I think you should leave necroing to the necros ;p but there're some useful ones. Such as rend enchant. To make sure your lightning bolts do full damage.
But you can't have only 1 rend enchant. You need a few more... so yeah... better concentrate on dealing damage than shutting down healing.

Every other class can be usefull, all depend of what kind of build you're gonna use and what you will do in battles. For the mission i highly suggest you Monk because you usualy in the back and if every one die You can res them without a problem, and when you are in the desert you will be able to change your secondary profession for what you want.

Monk for raise. You'll be surprised how often you use it :3~
Immortal Flame
Yea things like offering and blood rit, which sacrifice life to give you energy would definitely help. Although mesmer skills like channeling make more sense to me. Due to elementalists' weak armor, sacrificing life might not be too good an idea, especially if you want to PvP.

I really like the W/Ele combo but that is a different topic

I've had a lot of fun with the build so far. It is very viable in pvp so far, but that was only the first arena and then a little bit in Shiv (like 5-10 fights) so it may not work out. We will see.
Why do I like it so far? It does good damage, I like that central nuker role, and you do get some ways to stay alive. Mesmer was an option for me as well, but I already have that as second on my ranger and I think the two might be too much pressure on your energy pool.
I recommend necro as your second profession but that is only because I love to play it. Pick one you love as well and you'll be happy.

There is no "best" secondary profession. It all depends on what exactly you want to do with the character (shutdown, pure nuker/spiker, a dash of defense, supporting healer, etc).
In the future, please read all the rules before posting, and please post in the right forum.
And please please please use the search button. Reading a few of the guides in the New Players Center as well as reading a few pre-existing threads from the large pool of active threads around here should give you at least a starting idea.
Good luck on finding what you want.
