<p>Anyone know what happen to the water elemental? For awhile it worked pretty good. Then all of the sudden I had to reset my AA's because it became worthless.</p><p>Magi</p>

It's always been pretty worthless.

My Hydromancer pet has saved wipes where the healer went down many times.  Just sac pet for heal and power, and then cast hydro pet.  It obviously can't heal enough to solo heal anything, but it's great in emergency situations.

I have respecced to the hydromancer in the Conjurations-line because I get that pet out when I use the Communion(L.80 spell). It heals minor, but it does it job. I even healed my group several times when the healer went LD. Also solohealed parts of a "city of mist"-group. When I solo, it does it's job too, when casted with communion. It will then heal my fighterpet. But: It still isnt good for solo heal, and I very seldom use it as a main-pet. But it can be good to have when casted with Communion.
