Elementalists are multifaceted spellcasters who channel elemental forces, making fire, air, earth, and water do their bidding. What they lack in physical toughness, they make up for in versatility and the ability to inflict massive damage.

—— GuildWars2.com Elementalist

Elementalists have harnessed Tyria's natural forces. Their powers of destruction are drawn from an affinity with the four elements that make up the world. They conjure air, fire, earth or water to assault their enemies. As a scholar profession, elementalists wear light armor.

Attunement

The Elementalists have unique power to attune to different elements that changes their weapon skills based on the element.

When one of these attunement skills is activated, the weapon skills of the player change based on the equipped weapon(s) and the chosen element. Because these attunements can be freely swapped even while in combat, effectively giving access to four different weapon skill sets, elementalists do not have access to weapon swapping in combat like most other professions. They also have the lowest base health in comparison to other professions, so they have to make up for their lack of durability under fire by managing their attunements and skills carefully and avoid putting themselves in dangerous situations. They also are very versatile, able to easily adopt a support or damage role.

Elementalist specializations are also rather unique in that each of them directly improve one of the attunements. For instance, the Fire specialization mostly improves use of fire attunement spells.

Equipment

Armor

The elementalist is a scholar profession and wears light armor.

Weapons

Two-handed
- Staff — Can cast different area effect spells with direct or lasting effects.
- Hammer — Focuses on juggling between close ranged and medium ranged attacks. Built around using Grand Finale. (Catalyst specialization only)

Main-hand
- Dagger — Emphasizes close range, heavy damage spells.
- Scepter — Casts various single and multiple target, medium range spells.
- Sword — Melee brawling weapon that channels various elements through its blade. (Weaver specialization only)

Off-hand
- Dagger — Provides powerful close range abilities suitable for offense as well as abilities designed for defense.
- Focus — Provides supportive spells in form of energy shields, disabling snares and defensive area effects.
- Warhorn — Provides assistance to you in both supporting your allies and creating disruptive areas for enemies. (Tempest specialization only)

Aquatic
- Trident — Long range magical weapon for manipulating attuned elements underwater.

Although the elementalist has access to only one weapon set during combat, they effectively have the ability to switch between four different skill sets by changing attunements. There are five possible weapon sets (nine after accounting for elite specializations), giving a total of twenty (or thirty-six) when changing attunements. While underwater, they have access to the trident only, offering four skill sets when changing attunements.

It should be noted that sigils that trigger on weapon swap (like Sigil of Battle), also trigger when the Elementalist swaps attunements.

Access to the weapon swap mechanic when out of combat was added in the December 3, 2019 game update.

Personal story

In the biography step of character creation, elementalists must decide which of the four elements they prefer the most. This choice is merely cosmetic and determines their starting head armor, which can be hidden or transmuted after character creation.

I study all the elements, but I wear a gem that symbolizes my love of _____.
文件:Biography Water.png	Water ("water") — Water, whether frozen or flowing, is life, and its currents run deep in us.
文件:Biography Fire.png	Fire ("fire") — Fire's hunger, its destructive burn, demands respect. It immolates and clears the path for new growth.
文件:Biography Earth.png	Earth ("earth") — Earth is the foundation that supports all life. Stone fortifies us. Rock grounds us.
文件:Biography Air.png	Air ("air") — Air is the source of all life. It is invisible, and yet it can destroy whole villages.

Lore

Elementalism is a broad and versatile field, and under the now-unfashionable "four schools" model of magic, had applications within all four. Likewise, while most other professions have a single human god as their patron, human elementalists tend to worship a variety: pyromancers worship Balthazar, aquamancers kneel before Grenth and Lyssa, aeromancers appeal to Dwayna, and geomancers look to Melandru.
