I've had Elemental Shroud for a while now and figured it was just gimped because I was using it under the optimal level, 20, but now that I've hit 20 its still useless.

Elemental Shroud looks like it should be an upgrade to Spirit Dart but it seems to do the same damage for a greater stamina cost. The ability description says that it does damage to the target and nearby enemies but I have never had it hit multiple enemies either.

Has anyone found a point to this ability or is this just another lazy mistake on SE's part?

What weapon are you wielding? Doesn't the description state the damage is based from the elements associated with your weapon? That would be three elements for a wand and staves at our level. Maybe the spell is meant for those single elemental wands?

I picked up Elemental Shroud during closed Beta. It's marginally useful during Guildleves when engaging mob groups that are very close together.

Unless something changes, I wont be spending guild points on Elemental Shroud this time around. Pretty lame considering Thaumaturge has access to Silhouette, which is actually extremely useful in groups.

Fast Cast here I come...

Just confirming here that Elemental Shroud is just as bad with wand as with staff.

I'd recommend not wasting the marks on it but there's really nothing else worth buying prior to Fast Cast at level 30.

I was actually put off by the Conj's guildmark choices. I was hoping to see a better healing spell or a team haste buff. Besides the Fastcast, what else is worth picking up? Those other "conversion" buffs look lacking IMHO.
