Elementalist
Spirit summoner that fights through elemental servants and creeping curses.
The Elementalist commands the elements through summoned spirits. It calls Fire, Water, Wind and Earth Spirits to fight at its side, amplifies them with Jointstrike combos and Command: Proxy, and layers damage-over-time curses such as Cursed Cloud. Direct spells like Combustion and Cold Shock fill the gaps, while Summon: Ancient Spirit and Elemental Fusion serve as its heavy cooldowns. It plays as a pet-driven caster that controls fights from range.
Playstyle
A summoner that fights through its spirits. Keep a pet active, stack curses and elemental damage, and coordinate Jointstrike combos for spikes. Ideal for players who enjoy managing a companion and a more methodical, sustained caster than the Sorcerer.
