I see your point but i don’t agree, because now Icefury is viable specially when there is movement.
Sure still the best way to do single target damage is to stand still and do the full rotation, but if there is movement now it can be done way better now with icefury.
Simple fix here, add % damage to the talent for LvB while in Ascendance (similar to Stormkeeper) and add in ability to cast while moving and lower the cool down.
For those that like LvB to be the focus of ele they should have that option using this talent and echo of elements. Maybe the talent can just damage to every LvB to really make it amazing instead of just when the talent is used.
Personally, I think many would actually use Control Lava if they put in the regular talent tree and made Echo baseline. And instead of it replacing Lava Surge, have it replace Echo. Simple. Or at the very least if they keep it a pvp talent, dont have it replace Lava Surge. Then Ascendence would be more viable as well.
So many things that could be done but arent unfortunately.
It may have been mentioned already. But Lucy’s name is Lucy VanPelt and her brother is Linus VanPelt…
This is would be acceptable if Ele did more damage when standing still than other specs. That would be balance but Blizzard seems afraid to do something like that.
I’m kind of meh with the changes. I like that Blizzard dumped some craptastical talents but the Earth Shock nerf is a head scratcher. Building up to that big hit was very satisfying.
Instead of buffing Lightning Bolt damage I would have preferred a buff to overall Maelstrom generation for all skills coupled with a reduction in Lightning Bolt’s base cast time. That would have fixed the “slowness” issues players keep bring up and buffed damage at the same time. Currently the spec still feels slow but does more damage. Bleh.
Ele should be about speed IMO and we only get that for short windows when we take the Storm Elemental.
