Learning how to play Elementalist correctly.

Alright, so I have finally decided to play Elementalist as my main class and now currently leveling him up. All I need now is to learn the rotation and I have no idea how to begin or even start doing that. I have been doing fine pressing random buttons, but I feel like I can do a bit better. So where can I learn to do my rotation and make actually good builds and also what gear should I be wearing for my Ele?

Thanks in advance

Just learn what each skill does so you can use them at will, whenever you need heals, damage or cc. Don't need to train yourself to become a robot and follow a set pattern everytime.

That's for playing solo. When playing in a group and filling a dps spot, please don't use what you "need". Learn to trust the rest of your party and do your job. It's not healing, it's not CC, it's dealing damage. As much of it as possible in as little time as possible.

well, one need to learn to do both.the PvE rotation, like the meta raid builds, are only really good in a raid setting and maybe even open world if you are just dpsing a random Boss amongst the zerg.

it isn't always the best in most of the rest of pveit isn't good in spvpit isnt good in wvw

yes every weapon actually has an optimal rotation to maximize dmg be it any spec "viable" or not, be it PvE or PvP.But it's good to know how to improvise depending on the needs when things just going aren't going the optimal way, it helps better when u are engaging activites outside of raids.

Thanks for helping me out I had no idea a patch was coming out until I logged in this morning.
