You need even two +1 atributes sweets, so you can maintain perma.

Apart form that they would be faster than a sliversin, due to the fact that they can use Superior runes for earth magic which will up the damage dealt considerably.

you need 15 in shadow arts to maintain SF, you need cons (eggs and corns, plus the 1+ you get from the con set). It is exactly like running the A/E version, except you get higher earth magic.
You need good talking skills if you wanna go with a pug.

E/A's used to do the run before Shadow Form was nerfed so that only primary Assassins could maintain it.

You need a minimum of 15 Shadow Arts, combined with a 20% enchanting mod and the 20% recharge reduction from an essence in order to maintain Shadow Form correctly.

Pros of E/A's:
- Faster.
- Aeromancer Armor means you can tank more Charged.
- More energy, less of a need to manage energy.

Cons of E/A's:
- Can't maintain SF if your party's crap and can't do the clear under one set, so if you're Pugging, you'll get flamed at. This is because the grail gives you +1 to your SF attribute, and if you don't have 15 in Shadow Arts you won't be able to perma.
- Pugs are morons and think only A/E's can do it, as ElnoreVarda stated.

Conclusion? Only use E/A if you're forming a group, you have an outstanding reputation or if you're going with guildies.

Edit: In case you didn't know, you can, in the same way, do N/A, Mo/A for pits.

Why would you want prismatic armor for tanking charged instead of aeromancer?
Just curious if I am missing something.

What about red rock candy? They're like the old essence, only for just one person. I can't remember what realy ruined uwsc for e/a, the sf nerf or the celerity nerf.

They don't recharge spells quicker.

And sorry, yes, you'd use Aeromancer armor, for those charged.
