It seems worse imo. It’s the same stormbringer lightning build but you drop some flame shock talents for ascendance and maybe DRE. You now want to use surge of power for tempest, so super fun gameplay of holding maelstrom so you’re not caught getting tempest without a surge first. So same-ish rotations really, except LB/CL casts slower, but you’re major damage is tied to a 2-3 min ascendance cooldown. It also doubles down on the degenerate tab targeting, that everyone LOVES, to spread lightning conduit to be most effective since that is now a MAJOR source of damage.
I just really hate being tied to long cooldowns and pooling resources to account for a bad mechanic, so for me it’s definitely worse. I only dabble in ele so that’s my inexperienced take anyway.
Farseer also seems to be toast, so not a great revamp if you can call it that.
