Secondary professions for an Elementalist

One thing to bear in mind is that usually if you have more secondary profession skills than primary profession skills, you're doing something wrong.

Elementalist Warrior

 * Nothing worth mentioning.

Elementalist Ranger

 * An E/R can use Winter to make the powerful Fire Magic spells deal cold damage, increasing damage against enemies resistant to fire and/or vulnerable to cold.


 * Energizing Wind can work well for some builds.

Elementalist Mesmer

 * The E/Me is one of the more frequently chosen profession combinations in PvE because of Echo (or Glyph of Renewal) and Arcane Echo. These builds can summon multiple Meteor Showers. See Build:E/Me Echo Nuker for an example.
 * Combining the powerful hexes of Illusiona and Domination Magic with the Hexes from Water Magic can create a powerful combination.

Elementalist Monk

 * E/Mo flag runners in GvG can use high-cost party-wide skills such as Extinguish, Heal Party and Aegis. The runner can help ease pressure without having to come too near to the stand, and maintain his own energy with the elite enchantment Ether Prodigy. See Build:E/Mo Hybrid Flag Runner for an example.


 * Many utility skills such as Draw Conditions and Convert Hexes can be used to great effect in a team.

Elementalist Necromancer

 * Nothing worth mentioning.

Elementalist Assassin

 * Elementalist Assassins can use the Assassin's shadow step skills to get close to a group of foes, and then use some powerful PBAoE skills such as Flame Burst and Star Burst to do massive amounts of damage to all adjacent enemies. See the once-popular Build:E/A Starburster.
 * Shadow steps and other defensive skills are useful for the fragile ele. A popular GvG combination is Shadow of Haste, Deadly Paradox and Feigned Neutrality. The Paradox plus Neutrality combo can be used anywhere, to great effect.

Elementalist Ritualist

 * Earthbind can be interesting with various elementalist skills.

Elementalist Paragon

 * Nothing worth mentioning.

Elementalist Dervish

 * A popular PvE and arena build is to combine many defensive Earth Magic enchantments, such as Stoneflesh Aura and Armor of Earth with the Earth Prayers skill, Mystic Regeneration for a very tough tank.
