The buff certainly makes the difference
Anyway, just wanted to share with other ppl on this ele forum. I play Fresh Air tempets in ranked queues and I’ve gotta be honest. The buffs to Arcane Shield and Arc Lightning are actually pretty darn good.
Arcane Shield is a lifesaver against thieves, and I use it a lot to make sure my Air Overload lands in the middle of the point for maximum aoe damage. Arc Lightning is buff is a lot more noticeable than I thought it would be, as I can damage fleeing enemies a lot better and it also does wonders against scrappers from afar. (3.5k arc lightning + lightning strikes makes some decent damage)If either survivability on power tempest was increased or damage on core fresh air ele would be bumped a bit more, we’d be in the great section of the metabattle imo.
So, if Arc lightning uff made it to PVE..would you think people would have an option between fresh are S/wh and D/WH?

I’m not sure, but probably not. Remember, you can use Burning Speed every time you swap into fire, but you wouldn’t be able to cast Phoenix every time. Tho it would be fun to see if starting to cast Dragon’s Tooth, then immediately swap back to air would provide enough DPS to compare to dagger mainhand.
Until they add buff to PvE, it’s pretty much impossible to tell imo.
I don’t understand why they only buffed Arc Lightning in PvP when it’s just as needed in PvE. In fact, that’s true for most of the buffs from this patch.

My guess is that this was done in order to not mess up PvE (dh traps no longer daze in PvP, but should in PvE). Hopefully they extended most changes to PvE as well.

I see , I’m just clinging to the hope that Scepter will be considered meta alongside dagger. I really don’t like getting in close since dagger somewhat forces you to.

It was long time i did not playing freshair so i am not the best champion here. I tried freshair with marauder, air, earth , tempest and i was really impressed. Tempest and focus give you quite good survivability and the damage is really good . i did 3 matches and at first i was afraid to be destroyed and to make lose my team ( after 1 year or so i did not played fresh air) . Instead i found it really consistent , i could win 1 vs 1 ( not always , i am not a pro ) and i was usefull in teamfight . I think now it is really viable .
