I just hit 40 on my ele. My main is an 80 Charr ranger. I LOVE the elementalist so far. I intend to be a support ele in wvw. (I don't play spvp or tpvp).

So far everyone says to get the elemental elite skill. Personally, didn't care for it much. it was effective, but not really my playstyle. So for my first elite I chose the greatsword.

Wow! does WAY more dmg than I could ever dream of putting out, summons one for you and one for someone else (or two for you ;p) it is very mobile, and just plain fun.

I personally think that the greatsword outshines ALL other elite skills by a factor of at least 10.

Since everyone says the elemental Is better, how so?

Appreciate any advice, thanks!
