Secondary professions for an Elementalist

Those wishing to mix secondary class skills with the Elementalist's primary attribute Energy Storage will find an increased pool of energy with which to use, and more frequency with which to use those skills. Although an Elementalist will use a primarily native skill set, those that mix classes may find options enabling them to augment their character for the better.

Always remember, when choosing secondary skills, that native skills often have better synergy with the profession's purpose, interact better with the profession's other skills, and benefit from runes.

Elementalist/Warrior

 * This profession combination provides little benefit for an Elementalist primary.

Elementalist/Ranger

 * This profession combination provides very little benefit for primary Elementalists

Elementalist/Monk

 * Reusable resurrection spells are often beneficial in PvE.

Elementalist/Necromancer

 * This profession combination provides very little benefit for primary Elementalists

Elementalist/Mesmer

 * Echo and Arcane Echo offer additional casting of long recharge skills, or faster recasting of fast skills. This is most notably seen with Echo nukers.
 * Mesmers stances can be beneficial for Elementalists, such as Mantra of Earth with Stone Striker or Hex Breaker to guard against dangerous hexes.

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, Star Burst or Shockwave to do massive amounts of damage to all enemies within range. The effectiveness of this combination is mitigated by an Elementalist's light armor; without some protective enchantments, an Elementalist will often die before being able to cast many PBAoE spells.

Elementalist/Ritualist

 * Repeatable resurrection spells are often beneficial in PvE.
 * A massive energy pool can make weapon spells much less precarious.

Elementalist/Paragon

 * Several Paragon signets can be useful in PvE with little or no attribute investment; such as Signet of Return, allowing repeatable resurrections.
 * In PvP, Elementalists can take "Make Haste!" for relic running in the The Hall of Heroes.

Elementalist/Dervish

 * Mystic Regeneration can be an extremely reliable self heal in some situations, for example when used with Stoneflesh Aura and Armor of Earth tank builds.
