Allow me to pose an alternate “fix” for the Elementalist class: What if we left the traits intact but changed the Talent trees instead? In particular, what if we swapped out “Stone” for something else, thus eliminating the ability to combine Elementalist with Fortitude and thus allowing the class to be countered by something that could Stun it?
Elememtalist needs a mana source buff lol. Gargoyles are a great counter to Elementalist and Hellcrag is super effective with geomancer at wrecking Ele or just about anything. I don’t take wars too seriously and I definitely mix it up class wise. Tide caller is good against QB, goblins and other AoE loopers and other classes are certainly potent in niche teams. Elementalist is fine as is. I have no doubt the nerf police will be up in arms before long when geomancer/hellcrag reaches full potential troopwise. Its already devastating loopwise, super fast and craghound plus explode disables anything. And AI can use it effectively. Its guaranteed to be paying you a visit in GW defensively, with or without zenith.
