Honestly I’m not sure, what we have now may be better than before lol. But can’t be sure about that yet.
Try this though: Get a proc of voltaic blaze to spread flame shocks>once you do, hit prim wave>hit crash lightning (to buff your first windstrike and gen maelstrom)>hit doom winds>hit ascend (should be at 10 wep stacks>hit prim storm>spam windstrike while using Tempest at 10 stacks in between. This is actually disgusting burst from my testing I’m still one shotting unaware people.
Edit: I do agree though that they didn’t really have to nerf totemic like they did, it needed some buffs to compensate for the nerfs too. But I definitely prefer stormbringer if this build works out, just have so much more ranged damage the mobility issue feels much better. And it’s better than last patch due to tier set making crash somewhat okay, Tempest doing more damage and having Pwave+Prim storm to use every 30 sec as a decent damage button which we didn’t have last patch as stormbringer.
