Guys, I really wanna play this. This gives me a mage kitten like no other.

I know about Soldiers runes, but Radiance really offers so much more now. I dont play Ele much but this sort of build is tailored to how I play most mage archetypes and it appeals to me greatly.

I know most Ele pvpers are sitting here in the ruins of their legacy but any advice aside picking up Earth for Prot/Diamond?

Play another class. Staff dps is not a thing, and will never be a thing (in pvp) while eles lack proper defense. You are far to easy to neutralize (get 1-shot) by thieves, revs, and any other burst build, and every bunker/bruiser has so much hard mitigation they can easily ignore your “hard-hitting” skills. The dps just isn’t that high against moving targets, and you end up taking far more damage than you dish out.

The advice used to be to bunker up and just sustain through for the win…Now…you just lose regardless.

Sadly all other classes in this game are beyond boring. Well, off to other games it is.
