K, need opinions...I just did the secondary profession ele quest, and only need to go to the questgiver to become an elementalist as a side-job.
So, go through with it? I only really use one necro skill anymore lately (the one where you can transfer a negative condition to an enemy on touch...rocks for when I'm bleeding, blinded or suffering from a deep wound), so it's not like I'll totally miss the black arts. Elementalism, on the other hand, has some véry nice defence boosting skills.
Armor of Earth
For 30 seconds, you gain 24-53 armor, but move 50%-21% slower than normal.
Kinetic Armor
For 8 seconds, you gain +10-34 armor. Whenever you cast a spell, Kinetic Armor is renewed for 8 seconds.
Obsidian Flesh Elite Skill
For 8-20 seconds, you gain +20 armor and cannot be the target of enemy spells, but move 50% slower.
Ward Against Elements
For 8-18 seconds, nearby allies gain +24 armor against elemental damage.
Ward Against Melee You create a ward against melee at your current location. For 8-18 seconds, allies in this area have a 50% chance to evade melee attacks.
Ward Against Foes
You create a Ward Against Foes at your current location. For 8-18 seconds, foes in this area move 50% slower.
Needless to say that there's some sweet stuff among that. I'm pretty sure I'm going ele, but I'd still like to hear some opinions...if you're quick.
And don't worry, I'll try to build out the ele side of things by the weekend. The spells I'm interested in anyway.
