Im wondering what secondary to take for my elementalist.... Warrior has the hammer mastery, with conjure etc, but the necro has kickass curses etc.... comments ?

I'd say your build should carry curses...

Warrior melee style doesn't suit an ele primary by obvious means.

If you DO want to go warrior, then perhaps the tactics line may be of some use to you.

I am an E/W, and I really like it. Currently using earth magic (11), fire magic (8), axe mastery (11), tactics (8) and rest in energy storage.

Using armor of earth+ward of melee/elements and healing signet for the occasional heals, I tank really good. Conjure flame+using some quick high damage axe skills really makes it a nice build.

I hardly ever run out of energy too.

Ele/Necro = Elementalist spells are costly Elementalists have Energy storage which can get you up to 60+ mana ...

furthermore on secondary's
Warrior is a good choice you need to just look at it diffrently, you don't need to be a hack n' slash beat em with a weapon kinda Warrior, take a look at the tactics line, things like shield stance and balanced stance , I'd say an
Elementalist who can't be knocked down... is a good thing.

I'm not a huge fan of ??/N (or N/?? for that matter) I think Necro only works well with the following classes: W, M, R, and usually only as secondary.

Every class works. we just havent found the best way yet ^^. hmm. i think im gonna do ele necro. thanks for advice

Id say overall necro is better for ele secondary (as much as i hate to admit it). With warrior youll either be on the front lines all the time (where you are vunerable) or youll have to be all over the place trying to nuke and attack physically.... its a bit of a contradiction. I agree with yukito, use curses to supplement your nuking ele skills.

E/W is suprisingly not too bad. Using Earth/Hammer, you can keep knocking things down, which will annoy as well as disrupt your opposition. Though if you go this build, your more of a tank than a nuker.
