Improve the Elementalist

I think, the Elementalist needs an improvement and its one, that is very easily implementable. Since the moment we heard about a possible Summoner Class in GW1 I thought... whats up with Anet wanting to implement ANOTHER summoner, when the game has already 3 of them basically. Ok for real it are only 2, but the Elementalist has the potential to be the 3rd and it should also use this potential as summoner of elemental creatures and elemental avatars. Imo the Dervish was also a total useless class, everything what was added with the Dervish, except the dumb scythes should have been imo already from begin on features of the Elementalist. The Elementalist should have the ability to transform itself into mighty elemental avatars and its the Elementalist which should have self buff skills, which have area of effect-effects like the Dervishs enchantments had them, which worked all due to this like "Auras". this kind of "Aura" feature imo should be a feature of the Elementalist, what it received basicalyl now also in GW2 with the new attunement System which gives the Elementalist different passive aura like boons. This together with the elemental auras around the hands.

However, my suggestion here for improving the Elementalist is purely focused on the potential of the Elementalist to be now GW2's official second summoner class beside the Necromancer. More Summoners doesn't need the game.

Necros for everything undead and evil (Undeads, Ghosts, Demons) and the Elementalist should stand for all other magical summons which should stand all under a certain element of nature. I don't see Rangers as summoners, as long their Spirits of Nature don't receive a complete redesign in the way how the ranger spirits work. The Ranger is for me more a terraformer, than a summoner, due to its spirits having effects on the environment.

I want to see the Elementalist in GW2 being able to summon various kinds of elemental creatures, like Fire Imps, Thunderbirds and so on in regard to which element the Elementalist is attuned to, and that Elementalists receive as Elite-Skilsl the ability to transform themself into mighty Elemental Avatars, which change the complete skill bar into 10 special Avatar Skills of the actual element you are.

So if I transform into an Avatar of Flames,that my whole skill bar changes into 10 Fire Avatar-Skills.

Here an example of it, how it could look like, when for example a female human transforms into an Avatar of Flames
