I mained Enh for all of DF and for the most part loved it even if it gives me carpal tunnel. Ive been thinking of trying out ele but I hated hard casting icefury and weaving things like only casting LB after EB or maintaining the frost shock debuff…
Is ele like that still? or is it just as complicated
You do still have to maintain the frost shock debuff but that’s only for LvB. They removed electrified shocks or whatever it was called.
Flameshock is still flameshock and the minimum ways to spread it.
I feel like we get a lot of benefits from playing a weaving build as much as if you want to focus on just one element.
I have a weave build but more lightning focused probably. Going haste and crit with vers and mastery. I play pvp so my approach is probably different from pve especially since I run the lava surge pvp talent.
Icefury is no longer something we hardcast. Lava Burst has a chance to replace Frost Shock with Icefury. When you hit with Icefury, your next two (not four anymore) Frost Shocks deal heavy damage and generate Maelstrom. I have not tested it yet, but it seems more rotational and not as clunky as it was previously. There are also talents to make Icefury/Frost Shock increase the damage of Lava Burst and cast an instant Elemental Blast.
So, take that complication with Icefury and multiply it by three. Elemental has A LOT of things going on with it now, I think they had to change Icefury because of it.
That being said mostly depends on how you prioritize talents for the spells.
Elemental Farseerer is powerful. Very powerful. Stormbringer is nearly considered te best ST spec.
Elemental is in a good place. I will be playing Enhancement, trying to be Totemic, but a few more things need to be done. The Stormbringer builds are solid in M+ with the latest changes in Beta.
???
It’s practically the same rotationally, in fact even less involved than it was with the actual IF button gone.
nerfs just dropped today for enhance stormbringer lol
Farseer buffs–nice
