Ele doesn't need a slow at all or a root

A class that can cast with out ever casting.

That’s just not ok to give it a slow too.

It has had earthgrab and earthbind totem since Vanilla. They have had one. use the pillar and stop eating all the damage.

So, with the exception of three abilities, DK?

With a better spammable slow that’s undispellable, as well as perma slow reduction AND three root breaks?

Frost mage says hello

Wut? No they haven’t lol

They are spamming 2mil earthshocks right now, it’s disgusting lol. Ele actually feels stronger somehow than it previously was. Watched Wizk in Pikas stream last night hitting 2.4mil Earthshock.

Dk is a melee and can be pretty squishy.

Ele has knock back burrow slow spamable instant cast huge aoe while instant cast while constantly moving ghost wolf makes them unslowable beyond normal movement speed

Static field totem and root.

As well as off heals.

It needs to be nerfed

I feel like eles are fine now and this is a skill issue

Yet my 1.7m shadow bolts were a problem :roll_eyes:

Prob meant frost shock

They are not.

Earthshock needs to crit to be anythijg close to that, has to follow a lava burst, and also needs fully ramped flameshock buff.

Critting** and even then that’s SUPER rare.

Dk has fewer damage conditional requirements than ele does.

Dk has grip x2, abomb, knockback immunity, slow spammable, instant cast huge cleave and dot damage, slow immunity and root break and speed up with DA x 2 and wraithwalk and DA passive immunes slows below 70% while still allowing them to do a full damage rotation.

Huh, when you put it that way they have a LOT in common!

Blind, stun/silence, abomb limp, pet kick/root/stun

I really think it’s fine RN!

(After the ascendance bugfix and subsequent nerfs, obviously)

I eat eles for dinner with my DK.

Same with mage. Frost mage slows need to be cut in half. Every ranged slow except needs to be cut in half, none of these classes cast anymore.

ele does need all of that. That is the only reason ele has been able to pvp since vanilla. If ele presses frost shock, it gives up damage globals.

Ele is a solid A tier caster and feels pretty good after the nerfs.

Youre a DK, chains them, grip them, abom limb, AMS, lichborn the hex, and icebound the lasso… get over yourself.

Okay, but that’s true of every class.

I agree that ele is strong, but fair, but you can’t present using a cc global as a tradeoff when EVERY class has to do that.

Dk uses a rune for chains that could be a scourge strike or reapplication of diseases.
Warrior hamstrings which could be a slam/bt/rb.
Ww uses energy and a global to apply disable etc.

And MMs 1.5mil Black Arrows were an issue :rofl:

This is like me saying “Yo I need to use concussion shot and it takes away from Hunter damage”…not every ability should be cracking people for 2mil+ damage.

They were but diff is I had to cast my shadow bolts and if I’m not careful getting kicked would just completely lock me out of everything feels bad.

Ya, it’s an extremely silly commentary. The only class that passively does that is frost mage, and I think EVERYONE agrees that that is very dumb.

Sure, but that’s also not happening for any class XD

No one had a problem with casted shadowbolt damage, they had issues with the instant cast bolts that would also volley.

Let’s talk about grounding totem eating 1000 spells before you can find it under 50 pets and other crap.
