This lowers their actual effectiveness, and so despite high damage, they can actually have lower damage per round than my sword scout did.fire elementalist bolt: 1d12+1d6+8=10-26 dmg at willfire elementalist ignite:1d10+8 = 9-18 per hit targets (usually two for me, so 18-36)axe scout: 1d10+1d6+7+7 = 16-30 (8-17 if only first hits) at will,  +2 with caSword scout: 1d8+1d4+6+6=14-24,+2with ca, +2 with aspectsnot too far off, really. Plus scouts get some great aspect bonuses.  But if the el-sorc hits 3+ targets, its obvious that el-sorc starts winning...encounter:elementalist: +1d10 (per hit) and hit one more target (with the +1d10)! If the extra hit hits that's an effective damage increase of 2d10+1d12+1d6+8 on elemental bolt!  Also, I get to shift.axe scout: +1d10sword scout: +1d8......if anything is out of line for elementalists, it's the encounter power.They are a potent striker with their at wills, but I think its close enough (though I've definitely felt at times I was doing too much damage, I think I did more with my sword scout), but the encounter nova they can do is unmatched by any thing a scout, thief, slayer or other essentials striker can hope for.  Then again, I've missed both targets several times with my encounter, leaving me with only my killer at-wills to use for the rest of the fight <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Just my thoughts.</blockquote>
