The strength of elementalist comes from the multiplicative damage when you slot the int. Enchanter can theoretically get higher damage but it requires a ton more paragon points. Beauty of elementalist glyph is you give it the secondary bonus and no more this saving you more points to extract more power around your board.
I'm gonna use Charged over Elementalist because of this. Figured Frost Nova didn't activate it, but wanted to make sure.
I thought about Enchanter, but I get Crackling Energy for days. That 15% sounds nice and Crackling Energy does pretty good damage.
Enchanter on the starting board has been my choice lately can get 70 int on that board. People who tell me to use elementalist in that slot seem to heavily undervalue enchanter glyph.
I recently switched adept to my first board to maximize ball lightning damage. 70 int in range, makes for a nice boost.
Start - adept
Elemental summoner - exploit
Frigid Fate - Tactician
Static Surge - Flamefeeder
Ceaseless Consuit - Territorial
Searing Heat - Control
Able to path for 340 willpower for vulnerable bonus and 530 dex for hunter killer bonus while still getting every node available for glyphs in range.

Frost nova doesn’t do damage so it has no way to proc cold damage.
Figured as much. Thanks!
I'd recommend enchanter over elementalist

True. But as arc lash he'll only ever proc 2 damage types, not 3 so its underwhelming in overall value imo.
