This is an excellent build for vanilla elementalist and F2P accounts. It has good stamina and damage with the Demolishers amulet and the Arcane trait line (particularly if you take Arcane Wave over Conjure Earth Shield), superior mobility (due to the relic) and has good access to stun breaks along with stability. Best of all, it's full of CCs itself, always a good time.
