Talk:Effective elementalist guide

Meh, this doesn't have much info on how to be effective, it is just telling me now to tank and what element to choose Skuld  11:22, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * it's much easier to have input on a project, then to do any real work to improve the same project. ;) --Honorable Sarah 13:28, 5 May 2006 (CDT)
 * You might notice how I (started) a complete rewrite of the Effective Monk guide. That is because I feel the guide was written way to much in the stile of a build article as opposed to a guide. I wont do so here (because the monk guide is enough work for me & I know most about monks), but I feel the same critizism is valid here as well. --Xeeron 06:58, 11 May 2006 (CDT)

Re-write
I'm doing a complete re-write of the article, because I don't consider this to be a completely accurate guide. Please read, suggest and discuss at the new article's production home, Here. Bubbinska 22:42, 6 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I like what you have done with the re-write, I made a few small changes that might help. -Heurist 22:38, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
 * It needs more about Ele's in PvP but all the other profession guides lack that information too to a large degree --Lania Elderfire[[Image:Pinkribbonsig.gif|My Talk]] 13:05, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

Runes
Runes of Attunmenet can be a good thing on an ele, no? &mdash;Sig mA  13:19, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * better off with a minor energy storage, at least for the first, but if your build can't remain energized with a 90 buffer pool, you'd best think about energy management. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 19:41, 7 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Attunement is best for people who have a good excuse for high *Maximum* energy. This includes (but is not limited to):
 * People spamming Exhaustion based spells. Obsidian Flame and Gale are good examples.
 * People using spells that do damage based on your current energy. Mind Burn and Mind Blast are good examples.
 * People who may need the energy just to cast their skills. Avatar of Melandru Dervishs fall into this category.
 * People who regain energy in bursts. Soul Reaping (especially pre-nerf) and Ether Renewal are good examples.
 * Anybody not in such a situation should not use Runes of Attunement. Similarly, anybody not expecting a spike should not use Vitae. --[[image:rollerzerris.jpg|50x19px]]    01:44, 20 May 2007 (CDT)

Tank
I edited the comment about eles not tanking, obviously the person who wrote that has never used a Stoneflesh Aura build.
 * I'm sure there was a discussion somewhere about why warrior tanks are better than elementalist ones in general. Without enchantment removal geotanks rock though. Lord of all tyria 14:28, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Ha ha, "rock," get it...? [[Image:ShidoSig_moebius2.gif]] 15:12, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
 * sigh*, that was unintentional if you hadn't guessed. Lord of all tyria 15:13, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
 * the note was removed quickly afterwords, as this is a general guide to new eles, not a specific guide for ele tanks. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:37, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
