i've been putting a lot of time into my whammo lately, and i'm finding that (as a hammer/sponge tank) i just use the same 10-15 skills...most of which i learned way early on. go figure.
i think that as a whole, though, i love playing as my warrior because of the survivability factor. the hardest thing with my ele is that i just can't solo/solohench very well, and it gets so annoying constantly having to run away if my party gets wiped while i'm working in, say, the RoF or the Southern Shiverpeaks.
