Ok, when ver.7 first came out there had been a lot of questions going around about the new skill system and how it would effect eles. My question is why would an ele wast points maxing their level 60 1v1 skills, while they can wait 5 levels and get AoE spells...

If we skipped maxing our 1v1 then it would be possible to max all of our AoE skills, and mastery's. Of course leveling the 1v1 skills to the proper required level is a must, but it would not wast all the points maxing the spells would.

so why should we wast points to max our 1v1 spells?

thanks in advance.

Well reasons to max 1v1 skills:

• They might be a 1v1 ele therefore its their main form of attack.
• Might have a re-skill spare and use that at 65 when they do get their AoE
• They look good i spose, which is absolute no reason to max....but neway

some if not most 1v1 eles seem to use their AoE spells still

Why not? I maxed all mine, and had points left over to max all my aoe skills ('cept burningfield and poison. I didn't max those, and instead saved points for masteries). It didn't take long to have all the masteries maxed, too.

Where I am now, I have all my ele skills maxed 'cept meteo shower, which is just a few points away, as well as ice missile and firestrike maxed, and five points in blink.

I suppose if you wanted you could just put the basics in the ele 1v1 spells, but to what advantage? Max out mage spells instead? They're 1v1, and do less damage.

Khellen, I like the Idea of maxing eles 1v1s instead of mage, but do you have any points in blinkpool or ice missile(believe that is what its called)?

[Khellen]

That answer it?

I max mine for the rare occasion I go gianting.

I dont really use the 70 aoes... I use the 75 one for gathering a lot of mobs in a small area.

I -did- use my reskill, so I have the bare minimum mage skills maxed with max hot air, ice missle, and blink for mines.

-pulls out calculator-

19 skills * 10lvls * 3pts per lvl=570
pts needed for mage requirements+max blink=240
240+570=810

lvl needed for a new ele to achieve this = lvl104 (816sp)
max sp an NEW ele can get = 928

While I think its a waste to max all the 1v1s early on, I do think its needed to max a couple to get to 65. Also, I find the 1v1s more helpful than the lvl 70 aoes so I'd probably max them before the 70 aoes.
