Ok Am I the only one to notice that there are Avatar's for each Profession except Elementalist! Now it would make since that the avatar's in ToA will be path's to new areas in GW. Such as UW/FoW. Weve been given a hint of a story line involving a murder 200yrs old maybe the elementalist avatar did it and was imprisoned! Makes you go Hmmmmm?

Melandru = Earth Ele
Dwayna = Air Ele
Balthazar = Fire Ele

And even though the manual doesn't say it, I'm pretty sure Grenth = Water Ele...

Malchior Devenholm · Jan 12, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

The manual clearly states Balthazar is worshipped by warriors AND ELEMENTALISTS

and it doesn't make me go hmmmmmm it makes me go "huh?"

Ubernoob · Jan 12, 2006, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Geez howcome the ele has to share? They should get one of their own! Just because the other classes are jelous that we can make big shiny explosions...

don't be jealous of Lyssa and all her lovers...be happy to be part of all other statues

The only Balthazar skills in the game all belong to the Monk, right? Yet, Balthazar is for Warriors and Elementalists?

Many of the characters who give Elementalist quests say that Elementalists don't limit themselves to one 'god', but rather seek knowledge in all of them. What does it matter, though? Are you really worshipping them or something? Why do you need an Elementalist god? They're only there for the world's lore.. You don't make much since here.

Read the first sentence for Balthazar. God of War and Fire. Dwayna, Goddess of Life and Air. Melandru, Goddess of Earth and Nature.

Guess I'm just slow. I always associated Grenth/Necro, Dwayna/Monk, Lyssa/Mes, Melandru/Ranger, Balthazar/Warrior. I realize the crossover with some Avatar's/professions. Just an oddity 6 profession's 5 avatar's. Made since to me that this could be a lead to the new storyline developing for GW: Faction's!

Shut Your Mouth · Jan 12, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

And by the way I really don't pay that much attention to the avatar's/lore in games. It was just an observation, and I appreciate the input.
Thx

Balthazar is smiting, warrior and fire element. Holy dmg is related to fire, in that zealot's fire deals fire damage and holy staves deal fire damage

Malchior Devenholm · Jan 13, 2006, 03:45 AM // 03:45

ah...indeed vilaptica...i knew the eles of good heart served dwayna, i didn't see it divided by element, that makes perfect sense

Elementalists heil to many gods, and this is reflected by the fact that their attribute lines make them extremely versatile. Nuking against single targets with or without Damage or Time and armor penetration, debuffing physical attackers, protecting oneself and the team, snaring foes, and knocking them down. Yep, a class that can do so much would not be suited well by a single deity.

good question.......all other gods have a "elite" named after them to "some" degree (melandrus arrows/relisience/etc --Light of dwyna -- balthazars aura.......but i have all ways wondered "who is rodgort"

was he just a really good elementalist....?

Alberic · Jan 13, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Rodgort is Trogdor backwards.

Grimm · Jan 13, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Elementalists have access to four different elements, and each element has a patron god/godess.

Balthazar is associated with fire.
Dwayna is associated with air.
Melandru is associated with earth.
Grenth is associated with cold (and thus water, since water magic uses cold).

Simple enough for those who read that little book that comes with the game.

You're misusing the word "avatar". It means, roughly, a personification or representation of a god, concept, person, whatever. I think you mean patron gods. The avatars in Temple of Ages are avatars of the gods, not of classes.

Come on, everyone knows that the two classes that enjoy destruction the most are warriors and elementalists. By placing the two together they can control the most destructive of the classes.
