In season 2 Blizz really did a number on Ele for PvP with the changes to PW and Overload damage. With PW going away in Midnight does anyone know if the other changes carry over to the expansion or does everything start fresh?
The main change I am referring to was the reduction in base damage for Overloads from 25% to 10%. This made talents like Echo Chamber and Mountains Will Fall basically useless talents. Echo Chamber is required for Ascendance which made it worse to take.
Quick math Echo Chamber increased Overload damage by 40%, so 40% of 25% is 10% making your Overloads hit for 35%, but 40% of 10% is a whopping 4% making your Overloads hit for 14%.
Mountains Will Fall allows for ES and EB to overload but for half the damage so half of 35% is 17.5% and half of 14% is 7%. Pretty big nerfs to overload damage. They did make buff the initial damage of LB Tempest and PW to make up for the nerf to overloads.
I guess my question is, do these PvP modifiers carry over into Midnight or do we start with a clean slate?
