Default Elite Skills: Elementalist

Simple question: What do you think is the most overused Elementalist elite skill and should/has it been nerfed/buffed?

In my opinion: Searing Flames.

Personally I use Savannah Heat, but Searing Flames/Mind Blast are the elites everyone harps on.

Searing flames, savannah heat, and mind blast are the big three. None of them are particulary imbalanced at the moment.

+1 on SH, SF and MB atm. None of which are imbalanced atm - MB got a recent tap (alongside RI tap), and SF and SH are 'lolol'

Oh, and ursan.

The only overused el eliltes are the only ones that do damage. It just so happens all three have already been mentioned here.


Kendar, el's have gotten off easy compared to other classes.

MB, SH and SF. None of which deserving a change.
B-Surge got nuked for now, but will be making a return soon.
Water is quite sexy in terms of snares, but I <3 my Cripshot more.

MB+SF+SH are the most used fire elites.. for a reason..
B-surge is a commonly used air elite
Icy Shackles and Shatterstone are popular water elites
Shockwave is quite popular among earth ele's (if we count PvE Obsidian flesh wins... silly tanks)

[Ursan Blessing]

Also the most overused elite for: Warriors, Rangers, Necros, Mesmers, Monks, Ritualists, Assassin's, Dervishes, Paragons. Should be nerfed

/signed. However I don't see Paragons using this. There aren't as prevalent as other classes I see though.

In the whole history of the game probably elemental attunement, currently probably searing flames.

I agree with Searing flames, savannah heat, and mind blast: generally if your not running a build with one of those 3 you dont get into a group.

As for double dragon, im not sure i would be using that one in a hurry.

I personally love Sandstorm, is has such a high amount of potential damage there, and its great to throw in there with some other earth AoE, but in Pve its not always the best choice for a skill.

My most over used ele elite is properly elemental attunement

Aye, as it's been said already, none of them are Imbalanced at the moment. In fact, Elementalists are probably among the top classes with the least ammount of imbalanced skills.

double dragon is clearly imbalanced, its not overpowered, its underpowered. but it needs to be "balanced"
