I was looking at the druid builds and they both said they were good for PvP, I'm looking for an elementalist that is good for PvM. This seems logical:
1 Arctic Blast (pre req)
20 Cyclone Armor
20 Hurricane
20 twister
20 Tornado
20 Oak sage (max this last)

But would I be better off cutting back a little to summon a bear for tanking or something? Although I see people that use the fire skills, that seems a bit more limited to me. Any thoughts?

udontneed 20 cyclone armor (+skills will boost it)
windy > fire

err.. yes u really need to max cyclone armor. it adds to nado dmg and makes ur hurricane last for 50 seconds(WOW long time). wind is much better than fire. and i put 1 into spirit wolf so that i could have 5 wolves to take hits from fohers, etc.

ooops my mistake

srybout that othercoment

Go with the 5 spirit wolves. very good idea. I never go with one minon over 5. 1 minion is a distraction, 3 minions is a nusence, and 5 minions is croud control. I call this the three levels of suppression, the only freater one is this - 18 minions (my skelemancer) is a rout.
