Notes[edit]

  • The attunement effect is determined at the beginning of the skill's activation.
  • The 40 second recharge time starts when the elemental dies or expires.
  • The Air Elemental uses ranged attacks, while the other three attack in melee.
  • Each elemental has the same attacks as their counterpart from the Glyph of Lesser Elementals, plus their own command skills controlled by the elementalist with the elite skill.
  • Applies an effect depending on the summoned elemental, such as Water Elemental Summoned, denoting its remaining duration.
The Ice Elemental only lasts 60 seconds while the other three last 120 seconds.
