Water element refusing to attack

Q u o t e:
Is it on passive?

If not, duel another player and have that player kill your water elemental. Once dead, re-summon it. It should attack now.

If those steps don't work please let us know and we'll see what else we can try, Archralca.

Q u o t e:
did not work

Are you still having the issue, Archralca? I just checked your Mage and it seems your Water Elemental is attacking when commanded to.

If you are still having an issue with it perhaps we need to go back to the basics. Can you following the directions for your particular operating system in the link below and reset your User Interface to default? You may try simply disabling your addons but if that doesn't work a reset may be necessary.
