This cooperation grants frost armor on allies. Other cooperative combos the Elementalist and Warrior professions can achieve is delivering burning damage to the enemy. This works out by the Elementalist casting Lava Front on the enemies. The Warrior can leap into the fray and stomp the earth. The achieved effect is granting additional damage to the enemy on top of their current scorching state.
Between offensive skills, there are also combinations that grant players healing buffs. Take the example of a Ranger and Thief professions. Skills from these two professions, Healing Spring and Unload grants a an area of effect healing to any of the allies which are attacking the Thief's target. With that said, this is considered one of the best ways to heal when a group is combating tough to beat monster over a long period of time.

Most of the abilities players will stumble upon will be offensive skills that will either stun the enemy or add crit damage. However, as important as offensive skills are, it's always good to have combos which can heal allies quickly as well.
There are over countless possibilities players can achieve and with Guild Wars 2, the possibilities of stumbling upon new spells is just the tip of the iceberg.
