As the main character I play in Guild Wars is an Elementalist, I’m glad to see the big range of Elite Skills which are available in Eye of the North. Some of these are available in previous Guild Wars campaigns, but if you don’t have them all then this is a good spread of skills to stock up on.

Air Magic

Target foe and up to two other foes near your target are struck for 10…82 lightning damage. This spell has 25% armor penetration. If you are not under the effects of an Enchantment, this spell causes Exhaustion.

Invoke Lightning can be obtained from:

Shadow Spawn (Raven’s Point)

Mind Shock

Target foe suffers 10…42 lightning damage. If you have more energy than target foe, that foe suffers 10…42 additional lightning damage and is knocked down. This spell has 25% armor penetration. This spell causes exhaustion.

You create Savannah Heat at target foe’s location. For 5 seconds, all nearby foes take 5…17 fire damage each second and an additional 5…17 fire damage for each second this Spell has been in effect.

Savannah Heat can be obtained from:

Lok the Mischievous (Arachni’s Haunt)
Regent of Flame (Catacombs of Kathandrax)

Searing Flames

Water Trident can be obtained from:

Elsnil Frigidheart (Ice Cliff Chasms)
Gloop (Ooze Pit)

Given my character has a Pyromancer build, Elite Skills like Searing Flames and Savannah Heat are very useful. Searing Flames in particular is an old favourite - with proper thought for your build, you can spam Searing Flames and chain it with other skills that do extra damage to enemies who are on fire.
