Ele in PvP

This is the most fun I’ve had on shaman since MoP, really loving the gameplay. I feel like ele is fun when the focus is on elemental overload and constantly throwing out extra bolts/bursts/shocks/etc, and getting elemental blast without talenting it from icefury is really awesome, love the look of that spell but can’t give up earthshock, so still getting it in a way is great. Ascendance feels great to press still.

Post nerfs ele still feels really good imo. Does good damage, has moderate mobility, good utility, decent survivability. Its really well balanced now.

Just some feedback I’d like to give:

-Poison cleansing totem going to a 2 minute cd is really odd in pvp. I understand it was a little OP in pve, but I don’t think that nerf should have effected pvp. It was good vs certain specs namely rogues, and the tradeoff was spending a talent point on it when other specs don’t have to (shaman has to spend 2 points for curse and poison).

-Arc Discharge for Stormbringer going from 2 to 1 instant cast CLs/bolts feels bad gameplay wise. I would like to see that brought back to 2 and if the damage bonus needs to be tuned then that can happen instead, that way the gameplay isn’t affected.

I was doing some bg today and every time I ascendance I remembered laughing at what came after. So much fun indeed
