Is Blizzard serious right now?

There’s a small but growing chorus on the pvp forums, particularly complaining about how few hardcasts we have (ironic, since any hardcasts we do try get kicked immediately) and “planets aligned” lava burst super-procs doing asinine damage in the space of 1-2 GCDs.

I honestly thought there was a nonzero chance we’d see a kneejerk response to that in the patch notes. I count us lucky we haven’t so far. Ele has major weaknesses and is a clear step down from Shadow and Demo as far as casters go, but their damage is strong and its hard to blame people for feeling bad when they get the 1% quintuple lava burst in the face.

The thing about lack of hard casts is we spec into it. I also purposefully chose the Lightning shield talent to generate maelstrom while stunned. I can come out of a stun and have enough for 2 earth shocks and freeze opponents after each one. Gives me the distance I need to GW to a pillar.
