Guild Wars 2 Elementalist

My first character in the original Guild Wars was an Elementalist. I just loved being the firebug and raining Meteor Showers and Fire Storms down on marauding foes. For myself and other Elemental fans, the upgraded Guild Wars 2 Elementalist looks to be made to please!

Controlling fire, air, water and earth the GW2 Elementalist once again has the ability to inflict massive damage in a single attack. Now the Ele has the added ability to adapt to new threats by "Attuning" to any of the four elements as the need arises, receiving intrinsic bonuses that continually empower.

Fire Elementalist - FIRE attunement automatically causes flame damage to any foe foolish enough to touch the Ele, who still has the ability to inflict massive damage on multiple enemies by raining down molten rock from above or turning the ground to fire.

Air Elementalist - AIR attunement causes nearby enemies to be continuously shocked by lightning strikes and transforms the destructive powers of wind and lightning into dazzling bolts of lightning which surge from the Elementalist's fingertips.

Water Elementalist - WATER attunement provides nearby allies with continuous healing while offering the Guild Wars 2 Elementalist a means of controlling an opponent's movement with slippery ice or by freezing foes solid.

Earth Elementalist - EARTH attunement offers automatic magical protection to the Elementalist along with powerful defensive skills which can turn the ground, or even flesh, to stone. The earth Ele is not just a defender though as volcanic eruptions and seismic shocks are all at the Elementalist's call.

Guild Wars 2 Elementalists have a number of special spell types:

Glyphs - enhance or modify the natural power of the Elementalist to increase the damage, range, and duration of spells.

Signets - Signets provide an ongoing benefit to the Elementalist, but can also be activated for a greater effect.

Conjure Spells - Summon useful items and potent weapons that she or other party members can use.

Area Spells - Create hazards and mayhem all over the field of battle.

Ok... here's a sneak peek of some of the Elementalist skills in action...

I'm now thinking that my first Guild Wars 2 character will definately be an Elementalist!
