Wrong About the New Elementals?

[Illmental-kelthuzad]

I missed some of these changes with my first pass of the patch notes. Are the new Elementals going to create a nice burst window?

Elementals will be doing more damage

Mastery: Elemental Overload now also increases pet damage.

Storm Elemental now offers basically 16% haste

Wind Gust from Storm Elemental now grants 4% Haste instead of 3% cast time reduction and stacks up to 4 times (was 10).

Wind Gust wont reset with the Lesser Elemental so with talents you can have 34 seconds of 16% haste

Stacks of Wind Gust no longer reset when a Lesser Storm Elemental from Echo of the Elementals spawns.

The Lightning Elemental will now last 10 - 12 seconds depending on talents and do more damage from Mastery: Elemental Overload now also increases pet damage.

Fury of the Storms now summons a powerful Lightning Elemental for 10 seconds (was 8 seconds).

I feel like this could create an interesting burst window. Thoughts?

Pets already do nice dmg now before the mastery inclusion. Especially considering they last longer.

So in essence it’ll probably be the same amount of dmg just in a shorter window. Burst? Yes but the lack of CDR and shorter length reduces how long we have reduced cast time.

Plus the pets give DR now for longer which is clutch in pvp. In guess it just depends on situation but I’m not a fan of shorter window and harder CDR.
