The best way to go for solo farming with an elementalist is probably earth magic. Earth magic gives you a lot of armor which basically negates most damage mobs will do to you. Also, with the standard solo farming build, your secondary profession doesn't matter a whole lot. The build which I use for farming is as follows. I'll give credit to francis crawford here, because I believe it was one of his posts that I got it from.

Attributes: Basically I just max earth, and put the rest in energy storage
Earth: 12 + 1 + 3
Energy Storage: 12 + 2

The skills go as follows:
Stone Daggers
Aftershock
Rust/Ward of Stability/Ward Against Melee/etc
Kinetic Armor
Armor of Earth
Earth Attunement
Aura of Restoration
Ether Renewal

The third spot is basically where I change slightly depending on the area I'm farming. If I'm doing ettins I'll use rust to slow their healing signet, if I'm doing hydras I'll use ward of stability, etc. This build is very effective against melee mobs. I use droks armor, so the 60 al there, plus 80 from kinetic armor and another 60 from armor of earth, that's 200 total. That cuts down the damage you're taking, and aura of restoration means you heal up the little you do take with every cast. Basically the idea is just to keep kinetic armor, armor of earth, earth attunement and aura of restoration up all the time, and then spam your spells, using aftershock whenever you can. When you get low on energy, use ether renewal and spam stone daggers while it's up, and this will get your energy back fast. Just try to keep the four enchantments up when you use ether renewal for maximum benefit.

the build mentioned above usually goes for any element I use fire (go figure eh?

) but switch out the attack skills for your element and also switch the ele attunment to fit yours. i use

SAME STATS (but fire instead of earth.)

Fire Ball
Pheonix
Inferno
Searing Heat or Teinais Heat (same thing but different name.)
Rodgort's Invocation
Fire Attunement
SAME
SAME

This build is well suicidal because it offers no defence besides the HP gained back from restoration but I like living on the edge. Ive yet to switch over to earth which I plan on doing once im not poor.

You're a squishy, go figure. He wants to solo.

I'll just give you yet another 55 build.

Standard 55 equipment...and...

Energy Storage: 5 +3
Earth Magic: 12 +3 +1
Healing Prayers: 9
Protection Prayers: 8

Protective Spirit
Healing Breeze
Aura of Restoration/Glyph of Renewal
Aftershock/Teinai's Crystals
Crystal Wave
Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond
Mending

Do not attempt to solo Mesmers or Necromancers. (No-duh.)
