Ember Nerfed, My LH ele is sad...
That’s an interesting question. Embers make my normal and elite fire elementals look rather useless. Then again, fire-field-dropping summons did strike me as stupidly OP.
what nerf?
Good thing they are going to buff the already superior D/F 30/30 spec right?

“Superior” D/F 30/30 spec? It’s certainly not “superior” in dmg and might stacking, which are the only things that matter for Ele in dungeons. LH is still higher dmg and greater might stacking. The Ember nerf does virtually nothing at all to organized groups; you can still use them at Lupi to increase his AoE, and for the other bosses, they either die before your initial pre-stacked might runs out, or you can get fire fields via PF/HG or a 2nd Ele during combat. Nothing has changed. Something might change if Anet follows through with Water 3 becoming a blast finisher, but even then, LH will still be better at might-stacking and still have higher dmg.
No no, it is superior in everything but might stacking Yes, even damage.
Then like you said: " [Bosses] die before your inital pre-stacked might runs out", therefore I can stack might then do higher damage.
And after the patch D/F will have increased might stacking and better surviving.
D/F, what else?

Non dedicated lh with d/f is superior in fractals.
they need to renew the elite, Summon pet base on attunement which is dropping combo fields
Fire- Fire Field
Water- Water Field
Air-Light
Earth-Ethereal
to Give love to LH builds, Also make them tankier because its useless if they die so fast lol and lower the cooldown. WTH is 120 sec cooldown but your pet last only like 30 sec. also ai is pretty bad
also 30 mins to comsumable is annoying, I don’t mind lag issue(they said its because of lag issue) but its obviously because of popularity of fire elemental powder make it 5 mins if you really want to nerf it
