This video shows off all of the weapons the Elementalist can use and looks at all of the individual weapon skills. It also has a look at all of the healing, utility & elite skills the Elementalist has at it's disposal. It then goes on to look at the core specializations the Elementalist has and what each individual trait does for your character. The video finishes with a short combat demonstration with a basic Elementalist build so you can see what it looks like when it all comes together.

      You should try WoW... I had active 40+ hotkeys as a PvP mage including only basic macros (with alt druid even more). Cooldowns average around 10 sec, imagine that... I just started elementalist and its a piece of cake once you get used to the unlogical keys (earth AoE key 2, fire AoE Key 5 etc...)

  • @KaratePath
    @KaratePath Рік тому

    Played Warrior ages ago, returned and was extremely lost, so i decided to level up one from scratch.
    Was between the Mesmer and Elementalist, made up finally my mind for Mesmer, while i appreciate having so many skills. I think this is just a bit too much. Feel like there are also many overlaps and all. Also not too much of a fan of Electricity based skills, would have prefered Wind instead.
    In any case though, the WEAVER, seemed extremely interesting, mixing spells and stuff. But sorry, the Mirage Mesmer is calling me.
    As another note though. I think the Elementalists spells look way more updated graphically than the Mesmer (of course they are more elaborated), so its probably the class that gets dated the fastest.

    So- Speaking as a person who hasn't played any MMORPG in years, and started with the Ele class, it's really really fun to use when you've figured out the skill combos you like using in combat, but damn, cycling through the attunements gets really tedious at times KSKSKSKS

    • @HeroicFlamingo
      @HeroicFlamingo  3 роки тому +1

      Very strange! Your 4 and 5 ability will be defined by your off hand weapon so do you definitely have dagger equipped in the off hand? Bear in mind that you can equip a dagger in your main hand and off hand so you'll need 2 daggers to get all 5 skills. Check in your equipment section of your hero panel to make sure you have it equip in your off hand and that you have the right weapon set active. Let me know if this sorts it out!

If you want something a bit tankier and easier to learn with a good mix of both ranged and melee options, go Necromancer 😃
