Air Elementalist.Why!

Whats the problem with this guy seems as though its just not worth playing and i love it.I mean so many of there skills cause exhaustion.I mean why would Lightning surge being an elite, causing knockdown, not really doing that much damage and being a hex.. why would it cause exhaustion? when water trident doesnt?The skills just cripple the energy pool.
Del..

I'm not soo positive as I've never played an air elementalist, but however if you look at its skills it is for someone meant to do armor penetration (don't really know how effective armor penetration is nor what it really does, can someone enlighten me on it?) and the blinding effects on single targets and what not rather than a fire elementalist which is aoe's and what not.

Hmm... I think the spells are very well balanced when it comes to the elementalist...Having first played the char during my first bwe. I can only imagine you are simply looking at the spells and going .. why is this that way and that this way... instead of actually playing the class. If I am mistaken then you possibly may have not distributed your points very well... Then my suggestion is .. try again.
