The Elementals and High Elementals are part of an Elemental Master's vast skill kit. They give offensive, defensive, and passive buffs to the summoner on which mode they are activated. Upon a successful summoning of your companion spirits, you have the option to place them in either Passive mode, Defensive mode, or Offensive mode. Each of these modes have uses that are essential in what makes Elemental Master a versatile class. | The Elementals and High Elementals are part of an Elemental Master's vast skill kit.

Meaning this is usually a direct buff to the summoner and not to the spirits themselves . Also starting from the Sorcerer to Elemental Master, all of your spirits' Passive mode caters mostly to '''{{#skill:2449}}''' and '''{{#skill:2445}}''' builds and thus finds very little use when focusing on 4th job skills of EM. The only instance I could think of that it still complements 4th job skills is <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> on Passive mode. <span style="color:purple;">Serpens</span> will increase your 3rd job skill '''{{#skill:2450}}''' by 1500% which if you're focusing on a <span style="color:purple;">Poison</span>-centric build will be beneficial for you. Or when you're still incorporating Psychic Wave into your skill rotation cycle since its elemental property can be endowed according to the element of your currently summoned Elemental or High Elemental. | ||
On the other hand, '''Defensive mode''' like Passive mode is also used to buff an EM's defensive capabilities. Spirits would endow an EM's armor property to their corresponding element. If for example you have <span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span> summoned and you placed him in | On the other hand, '''Defensive mode''' like Passive mode is also used to buff an EM's defensive capabilities. Spirits would endow an EM's armor property to their corresponding element. If for example you have <span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span> summoned and you placed him in Defensive mode, he will change your armor property to <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> and you'll get decreased damaged against <span style="color:red;">Fire</span> property attacks but reduced resistance for the opposing element which is <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>. | ||
Meanwhile, '''Offensive mode''' is the state where your spirits will go on an aggro or attack state. They'll randomly attack, select and cast skills they know in their skill pool at a certain chance. For most people this mode looks and sounds useless which to a degree is true since why would you want your spirits to gain aggro and get attacked when they're already too frail to begin with. But you should know that there are ways to make them tankier than even your own, and spirits gaining aggro from mobs lets you farm efficiently or stay alive as long as possible. Think of them as your own version of the Biolo's Homunculus. | Meanwhile, '''Offensive mode''' is the state where your spirits will go on an aggro or attack state.

The next mode that maybe most of you aren't still aware of is the '''Waiting Mode'''. Now, Waiting mode isn't under any specific Level of '''{{#skill:2456}}''', but it's a state where your spirits can freely enter anytime. The moment you summon your spirits, they are by default in | The next mode that maybe most of you aren't still aware of is the '''Waiting Mode'''. Now, Waiting mode isn't under any specific Level of '''{{#skill:2456}}''', but it's a state where your spirits can freely enter anytime. The moment you summon your spirits, they are by default in Waiting mode, and once you've placed them into any of the 3 modes, they exit this state. To place them back into this state once again, you'll need to recast the same Lvl. of Elemental Control according to the same mode your spirits are in. If <span style="color:darkred;">Ardor</span> is in Passive Mode, recast '''Lvl. 1''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''' one more time and he'll be in Waiting mode again. During this state, your spirits don't give anything or do anything for you ''but'' they regain 2% HP/SP every 3 seconds which serves as their own healing consumable in a way acting like their own source of {{#item:14534}}. This helps them stay longer in battles, so put them in Waiting mode as you deem fit and necessary. | ||
Lastly, we have '''Lvl. 4''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''', which isn't even a mode or give anything good to either you or your spirits like reallyyyy. Don't ever use this skill as you'll only regret it. What it does is it kills your active spirits. I mean why? Just why would you want that? It's always easier to just cast another summoning skill if you wanna switch Elementals or High Elementals, but purposedly killing them is really such a questionable move by Gravity. Remove this in your hotkey or better yet don't ever bother getting it, it's a waste of skill point and a waste of space. | Lastly, we have '''Lvl. 4''' '''{{#skill:2456}}''', which isn't even a mode or give anything good to either you or your spirits like reallyyyy.
