Elementalists got a good buff and functionality change now. What they need however, is cross elemental skills and mechanics to give another depth of playing the elementalist, and taking them one step closer to the gw2 idea of small skill pool with each skill being given multiple roles depending on the tactical situation.

Water: Soak[edit]

Applied by water spells.

Earth: Mud[edit]

Applied by earth spells.
