Why was ele blast not including on the awakening storms and supercharge passives? Seems like an oversight?
As for why Elemental Blast/Lava Burst isn’t part of Stormbringer’s synergies, I have no clue but you’re not stopped from taking it either, it just seems like there’s no reason to ultimately besides raw single target damage + short secondary stat buff it provides. I think it complicates it when part of Stormbringer’s motto is to spam the everloving crap out of Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning as much as possible to create a feedback loop of eventually to keep gaining Tempest in matter of seconds. Plus, Unlimited Power becomes extremely nasty as you keep spending so much Maelstrom Weapon as you do so to bump up your haste without any limitation within its 15 second timeframe. Alongside other benefits of chances to be refunded for using Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning further discourages use of Elemental Blast.
Until there’s some changes, there’s just no point to add a complication of a single ability and be wasting two talent points for something that doesn’t benefit Stormbringer whatsoever.
I just don’t get why they wouldn’t include ele blast in the talent synergies in the first place? I thought they don’t like forcing people into certain builds?
Unfortunately that’s how it is here. Gotta be loud to get them to make these changes if we want it to be possible.
It doesn’t hurt me much since I never take Lava Burst/Elemental Blast as Enhancement normally, or even Tempest Strikes for that matter but Stormbringer, and every Hero Talent across all classes, unfortunately shoehorns us into certain playstyles.
