Elementalists conjouring weapons is NOTHING i repeat NOTHING like any system wow has...you conjour a weapon (or multiple) that you and/or allies can pick up and changes the first 5 skills on your skill bar...
All in all shaman is more to mage then it is to shaman, -but- if you want to be a caster (like elem) go elementalist, if you want to go enhance, go guardian, if you want to be resto, you're in the wrong game
