Discussion

Pro
Very flexible
Has a heal
Has a stat increase passive
Has a max health boost
Many synergy possible
IS A PANDA!

Cons
Skill Dependant
Mana Dependant
Low movement speed
Low base health
Somewhat hard to hit skills (low cast range or channeling)
Low base mana (compared to other INT heroes.)

I tried to have each element fulfill a different roll.
Fire is a Chaser/DoT with its immolation and slow.

Water is the Supporter/Slow with its chain skill and heal.

Earth is a Tank/ Disabler with its Armor/Hp bonus and 2 second disable.

Synergy

I tried to make so each element acts independently but there are a few noticeable synergies between two elements and within one element.

Fire element

Meteor sets up your Cyclone which, combined with Imolation is a lot of damage.

Earth Element

This is a burst damage version of the fire element combo. Use this if you want to get in and get out quickly. Also you may wonder why I have the armour skill there. It is because, if you read everything carfully, you will see that you will be unable to move for a short while after you cast you're Ultimate. The increases the chance you will live after jumping into a group of enemies.

Water Element

I didn't have synergy in mind when i made this one. I had more of a supporter in mind. The combo for water element is just

You use your chain skill to slow a large group of enemies. Then you use your Wave to deal more damage to the group. Use your nuke to finish off your stragglers or your target.

Builds

Item Builds
Your item builds will vary depending on which role you decide to take.

Chaser/Ganker
For chaser I would go with Fire Element most of the time with its slow aura and immolation.

Items:Boots of Travel/Phase, Radiance, Blink Dagger, S&Y for Maim and movement speed boost.

Supporter/Slower
I would with Water element with its slow and its heal.

Items:Bottle, Arcane Ring, EoS( For even more slow. Remember, you are ranged when you are water element.) Bloodstone, BoT.

Tank/Mass Disabler
I would go with Earth element with its Hp bonus and its 2 AOE stuns

Items: Bracers, Heart/Radiance, Blink Dagger, PT or Phase.

Skill Builds

There are many different builds possible depending on your style but the cookie cutter build will be:
1 Element Shift
2 Skill 1/2
3 Skill 1/2
4 Skill 1/2
5 Skill 1/2
6 Ultimate
7 Skill 1/2
8 Skill 1/2
9 Skill 1/2
10 Skill 1/2
11 Ultimate
12 Element Shift
13 Element Shift
14 Element Shift
15 Stats
16 Ultimate
17-25 Stats
