Just wondering but as an example, Elementist / Warrior would have the same armor class if he was a W/E?

Not sure the difference of having one before the other.

So there is no real point to ever take Elementalist first? I'm wondering about benifits of having Warrior armor over Elementalist. Besides graphical pictures and whatnot, higher AC... Is there any point in taking one class over the other as a primary?

You pick the primary class because of several things:
- Primary attribute (for elementalist it is Energy Storage)
- Armor (different class have different level of protection and energy regen. Most casters have lower defense but +energy regen)
- Runes (can only use runes for your primary class)

Just like mostro says... so i'd just take E/W if you want to go for elementalist spells mostly... and W/E if you go for melee with some spells.

You might have better armor as elementalist with W/E, but taht doesnt weight up against the loss of ur Elementalist primary attribute and the extra energy regen which you really need.
