Elementalist

At a glance

A spellcaster that changes between fire, water, air, and earth to use multiple skill sets with the same weapon.

Core elementalist

Elementalists change their weapon bar through four elemental attunements. The same staff offers fire attacks in Fire and healing skills in Water. Normal weapon swapping is available outside combat; during combat, switch attunements instead.

Elementalists wear light armor and share the lowest base-health tier with guardians and thieves. Use Water's healing, Earth's defenses, and Air's mobility when needed. Respond before an attack becomes dangerous instead of relying on your health pool.

In combat, change attunements instead of swapping weapons. Core elementalist has four elements with five weapon skills each, for 20 weapon skills. Learn your main attacks, healing, and defensive options in each element first.

Attunements

Attunements are your core profession mechanic. F1–F4 switch between Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, replacing weapon skills 1–5.

Fire: Offense, with direct damage and Burning. Use it when you need to deal damage.

Water: Healing and support, including self-healing, ally healing, and condition removal.

Air: Burst damage, mobility, and control. Its tools help you disrupt enemies or reposition.

Earth: Defense and sustained damage, including Protection, defensive effects, and Bleeding.

The key is choosing the element that provides the skill you need. Deal damage in Fire, switch to Water for healing, or use Air's control and movement tools. Practice makes these transitions feel natural.

Utility Families

Elementalist utilities make more sense as families than as isolated buttons. Arcane covers general-purpose support, Cantrips focus on survival and resets, Conjures create temporary weapon bundles, Glyphs interact naturally with attunements, and Signets stay simple and reliable.

Tempest: Heart of Thorns

Stay in an element, then unleash an overload

Tempest rewards staying in an attunement long enough to overload it. It adds an off-hand warhorn and Shouts, with strong options for supporting nearby allies.

After remaining in the same attunement, press its F1–F4 key again to use an overload.

Overload Fire: Attacks nearby enemies and grants allies Might. Completing the channel leaves a fire tornado that continues attacking and granting Might.

Overload Water: Heals nearby allies during the channel, then finishes with a larger heal and condition removal. It is an important healer skill.

Overload Air: Repeatedly strikes nearby enemies with lightning. Completing it gives allies Static Charge and leaves an area that continues the lightning attacks.

Overload Earth: Grants Stability at the start, provides Protection to nearby allies, and cripples enemies. Completion immobilizes enemies and leaves a dust cyclone that attacks and provides Protection.

Overloads are channeled skills. Completing one gives an additional effect, but enemy crowd control can interrupt it. The used attunement takes longer to recharge, so plan both a safe time to channel and your next element.

Shouts: Skills that provide nearby allies with auras or boons and attack enemies. Some are instant while others have cast times; check the skills you intend to use during an overload.

Tempest | Overloads and Shouts

Tempest opens an Overload by re-attuning to the same element. After you stay in a chosen attunement long enough, pressing the same F1 through F4 again casts a separate Overload skill, while Shouts fill the gaps with nearby support and counterpressure.

How Overload Works

An Overload is a channeling skill. If you finish the cast, you get the full final burst and the attached bonus effect. If it is canceled early, only the opening cast effect and the strikes that happened during the channel apply. Tempest constantly asks whether you should finish the channel or cut it short and move on.

Tempest Feel

The core decision is whether to stay in the current element long enough to finish an Overload or to cut the channel and attune elsewhere because the situation changed. Warhorn and the Shout family make that rhythm especially clear.

Weaver: Path of Fire

A battle mage using two elements at once

Weaver combines one element in the main hand with another in the off hand. It adds a main-hand sword and Stances, with unique Dual Attacks based on the element pair.

A new attunement enters your main hand, while the previous one moves to your off hand. Weapon skills 1–2 use the main-hand element, and skills 4–5 use the off-hand element.

Dual Attack: skill 3: The element combination determines this skill. Fire/Water and Air/Earth, for example, give different attacks. Plan the sequence of attunements to reach the combination you need.

Weaver attunements recharge faster than core attunements. Because each transition changes only part of the weapon bar, the result is a continuous sequence of combinations rather than a complete bar replacement.

Stances: Temporarily strengthen you. Some effects depend on your current attunement combination.

Weaver attunes to two elements at once. When you attune to a new element, the current main-hand attunement shifts to the off hand and the new element takes the main hand. Attuning to the same element twice in a row returns you to a normal single-attunement weapon bar.

Dual Attack Structure

The main-hand attunement determines skills 1 and 2, the off-hand attunement determines 4 and 5, and skill 3 changes into a Dual Attack based on the pairing. The result is the same Dual Attack regardless of the order of the two elements, so the key habit is reading your main hand and off hand correctly first.

Main-Hand Rules

Core utility skills and traits such as Glyph of Elementals, Soothing Mist, and Empowering Flame use the main-hand attunement. For example, Soothing Mist does not activate if Earth is in the main hand and Water is in the off hand. Reading Weaver correctly means checking both the Dual Attack on skill 3 and the main-hand attunement rules behind it.

Catalyst: End of Dragons

A battle mage placing elemental spheres

Catalyst uses F5 to place a Jade Sphere, granting allies boons and creating a combo field. It adds a hammer and Augments; choose the weapon appropriate to your build.

Build energy by hitting enemies, then spend 10 to place a Jade Sphere. Normally, hits do not generate energy while a sphere is active. The Sphere Specialist trait lets you gain energy from hits during that time too.

Jade Sphere: Its base PvE boons are Might in Fire, Resolution in Water, Fury in Air, and Protection in Earth. Each sphere creates a combo field and affects up to five allies within its area.

To provide Quickness in PvE, select Spectacular Sphere. This trait grants Quickness and an additional elemental boon when you deploy a sphere. Build energy and use spheres across attunements to maintain allies' boons.

Hammer: A two-handed weapon mixing melee and mid-range attacks. Its skills differ by element, and you can create orbiting elemental projectiles for bonuses before launching them at enemies.

Augments: Skills that strengthen you and gain additional effects within the corresponding Jade Sphere. For example, Relentless Fire lasts longer when used inside your Fire sphere.

Catalyst | Jade Sphere and Augments

Catalyst places a Jade Sphere (F5) that matches your current attuned element and finishes Hammer's orbiting projectiles with Grand Finale. Attunement, F5, and hammer skill 3 operate as one connected package.

F5 Use

F5 places the sphere for the element you are currently attuned to. The field type and granted boons change with Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, so you decide the attunement first and press F5 second.

Hammer Rhythm

Hammer builds orbiting projectiles on skill 3 and cashes them out with Grand Finale while you stay in the same attunement. Catalyst often works better when you finish one elemental set cleanly before swapping away.

Evoker: Visions of Eternity

An elementalist fighting alongside a familiar

Evoker specializes in one element and fights with its familiar. F5 commands the selected familiar, and Meditation skills are added. Using a pistol requires Expanded Weapon Proficiency separately from Evoker training.

Choose a familiar by right-clicking the F5 slot outside combat: Fire's fox, Water's otter, Air's hare, or Earth's toad. You cannot switch to another familiar during combat.

Familiar commands require six charges. Using a weapon skill grants one charge, or two if the skill's attunement matches your familiar.

Using a basic familiar command three times unlocks an empowered command.

Elemental Procession: elite skill: Summons all four familiars to use their empowered skills together.

Meditations: Evoker's utility skill type. Their elemental associations let them work with your chosen familiar.

Evoker | Familiar Commands and Meditations

Evoker combines attunement-based familiar commands with Meditation utilities. It is less about rotating weapon skills alone and more about treating each attunement and command as one connected action set.

Key Structure

Evoker combat is best read through its Fire / Water / Air / Earth familiar commands and Meditation utilities. When you change attunements, the character of your available command changes with them.

Combat Feel

Evoker feels most coherent when attunement swapping, command use, and Meditation follow-ups are viewed as one sequence. It helps to read each attunement as a package instead of isolated buttons.

Frequently asked questions

Is elementalist the hardest profession?

It has many skills to learn and a small health pool. Start by remembering each element's broad role: Fire for offense, Water for healing, Air for mobility, and Earth for defense. Practice Fire and Water first, then bring in Air and Earth as you learn their skills.

Which elite specialization should I try first?

For PvE: Tempest. It adds overloads to the familiar attunement system. Stay in an element, then press its key again for a strong area effect. Overload Water's healing is especially helpful when learning open-world combat.

For close combat: Catalyst. Hammer offers a battle-mage style, while Jade Sphere provides boons for group play.

Try Weaver later. Managing two elements at once adds complexity. Get comfortable with core attunement switching first.

VoE option: Evoker. Choose it if you want an elemental familiar fighting beside you. Charge its commands with your weapon skills, then use an empowered command after three basic commands.

Elite specializations require level 80, the corresponding expansion, and completed core skill and trait training. Once eligible, you need 250 hero points to unlock one fully. In HoT or PoF maps, 25 previously uncompleted hero challenges give 10 points each, for a total of 250.

Is it a problem that I cannot swap weapons during combat?

Switch attunements with F1–F4 to access different weapon-skill sets. Core elementalist has 20 weapon skills across its four elements. Learn your build's main attunements first, then use the others for healing, control, or defense when needed. Normal weapon swapping is available outside combat.
