thanks for that, i have one question though.

Do battlemages/elementalists have any aoe capabilities?

[Confused]

Battle Mage has one AOE skill, quite good damage, instant cast targetted AOE, excellent skill for group pvp but doesn't help much in grinds because of the long cool-down time. But BM/Elementalist tops the list of mages with highest damage (single target) output and are perfect for pvp.

how do defilers compare to eles?

[Baron]

blazing wind and fairy's curse cancel out. bliss on both cancels out. magic weapon mastery cancels out on both.
high concentration vs master of fire = master of fire wins by a LOT
raging strike vs blood lust = bloodlust wins (even if both have it snow burst will out damage flame strike)

then it comes down to the actual skill damage.
highest damage dealing skills = snow burst vs burning hell snow burst wins, by 200ish, before you add the 370 damage dot from burning hell. so overall saker still wins.

saker does more damage.

how do defilers compare to eles?

they do how a crowd control class vs a damage class should. all you have is curse mastery. no contest.

Elementalist - PvP monster, big numbers on single target skills, slow grinding speed
Defiler - Good for pvp but squishy (glass cannon!), fast AOE grinding
