While I was reading stuff about Guild Wars I came upon an interesting article on photics.com, an elite GW fansite which has monthly e-zines.
That article mentioned that a Warrior/Elementalist could be lethal even with the low energy a warrior has. So I went to another GW elite fansite, the Guild Hall, to get some info on the skills and see if it really could be possible. So I came up with this build that looks very promising in theory and I look forward to testing it in practice.

I don't know how many people will understand all this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> but those who do please give me your opinion on this. My attributes will be distributed evenly between Strength, Axe mastery and Fire Magic.
In combat it'd be something like this. I see the ennemies and cast Conjure Flame. I then run towards them and cast inferno if there are 2 or more ennemies around me. By the time I get to the ennemy and cast inferno, I should have gotten back 5 energy, which lets me cast frenzy. I would then get adrenaline at a nice speed and be able to use cleave a few times, and then dismember and axe twist. If things get too hot I can always rush out of the combat.
Thanks in advance for your opinions fellow Guild Wars fanatics (if indeed there are others in this forum)
