Just thought I'd see who like to play as what.
Personally, I LOVE being a geomancer. Earth spells work extremely well.
Hopefully, some of you have seen my ele- Stoneheart Trellis.

So, what element do YOU preffer to play as?
Earth
Fire
Water
Air

GOD, I wish I could have done this as a poll

LifeInfusion · Aug 17, 2006, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Defensively: earth

Spiking the crap out of things: air

Francis Demeules · Aug 17, 2006, 08:01 PM // 20:01

Water, support based in defense line and hex at the same time. Everything must be slow in a fast combat game

LightningHell · Aug 18, 2006, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Air/Water, usually, but sometimes Earth for warding. Used to use earth all the time.

depends where i am.. fire in the shiverpeaks and ascalon, air pretty much everywhere else, air or water spike in pvp, sometimes earth warder in pvp if required, earth for farming melee foes, etc, etc

basically the key to a good elementalist is to be versatile - use any of the elements to suit your situation and know who you are fighting.

Hold on a minute - I smell a wammo!

(sorry Lord Cooper - couldn't resist!)

I love Air. I used Air magic for my Protector of Cantha title, after I got that I decided to try fire, which is OK, better for farming but I will always prefer air. One thing that irritates me is when people look at my usual Aeromancer aura and assume I'm only an air spiker - thus they do not want me in their group. I always carry a spare pyromancer aura around with me with the relevant rune on to ensure that when I choose to go Fire, my spells are just as effective.

In GW, my fav element is probably air, due to the fact that fire is kind of crap, and air is much more efficient.

In other games, I'd use a combination of fire and earth.

air is good for most situations but sometimes in pvp you just cant beat bringing a bit of fiery death into the game..

i have headpieces for all the elements as i swap and change as the need and my mood takes me along with a few minor runes scattered around my arnour for a boost in another element where needed

Earth.

JR · Aug 18, 2006, 10:54 AM // 10:54

Getting Ice Spikes headshots makes Water my line of choice in PvP.

Pick Me · Aug 18, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Earth - great defense, good offense, its where we walk on (except in Canthas - we become like God by walking on water

)

**cosyfiep** · Aug 19, 2006, 05:37 AM // 05:37

started as fire (still use it for my rit/e), then went to air, but not enough eoe, so went to earth. Got a nice staff and have 93 energy so I never have mana problems and only 1 of my spells causes exhaustion....so I am liking this build a lot! (have never done much with water....though I do have some good wands and focii for it, oh well)

Jack Griffen · Aug 19, 2006, 12:08 PM // 12:08

Earth has always been my favorite b/c its so vesatile. If I feel like dealing damage I have spells that ignore armor or cause KDs. I can use some of the many defensive spells to keep me alive while I dish out that damage. And if I feel like playing a support build I can throw up some wards and help the monks keep the rest of my team alive.

Recently, I have been using this Air/Water Hybrid in Pve, and I LOVE it so far. :P

Amok Affinity · Aug 20, 2006, 04:58 PM // 16:58

i'm in love with water. it's not a healthy relationship!

Ozric · Aug 20, 2006, 11:54 PM // 23:54

I do them all. gotta be versatile!!

Trylo · Aug 22, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

have a set for everything, hate fire cuz its worthless...

i love water because it has this great skill called Ward Against Harm. which gives everyone warrior armor vs everything, so pretty much its the best defense. cant be stripped either.

for damage i still do earth, air is... nice, but it lacks all the versitility of an ingame fight.

Fluffy Butt · Aug 22, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

Fire, has to be mine

MrTickle · Aug 22, 2006, 08:48 AM // 08:48

I'm using fire at the moment as I'm only at level 10. I've got the pyromancer armour & basic runes. I want to try Air next so I can swap between the 2.

What's a good wand/staff? I've still got the 4-7 firewand

Gileads · Aug 23, 2006, 12:43 PM // 12:43

Air can you say Chain Lightning.I do use fire in FoW and farming though .Earth a close second heck there all fun to use.
Good wand/staff I don't know where you are in the game but look into a collector's staff and modify it to you liking.
