Well, I’m happy with a lot of those changes, and then when I hit the bottom I hadn’t seen any class changes so I went back to praying that those aren’t the full patch notes.
EDIT I don’t have to do 8v8 hotjoin, can now do 5v5 hotjoin, pretty cool.
Power builds are completely viable, you just can’t really expect to build full glass. Build balanced – either valk’s or soldier’s amulet with zerker’s jewel.
You don’t lose very much damage and gain a respectable amount of survivability/sustain.
I just don’t think glass double dagger is ok, with my scepter build I feel totally fine running full glass cannon.
EDIT I do prefer running a double dagger build with soldiers amulet, knight’s jewel though. Double Dagger Build
60% boon uptime + 20% extra protection uptime, might on weapon swap and almost 100% fury uptime if you’re using the auras in fights, and it’s like running berserker’s except you don’t die instantly. ^^

I have played around 600 games in tpvp on my ele, and I cannot help but feel that this is far from the truth.
I will admit, running a double dagger build that’s glass cannon is infinitely more risky than other options, but scepter/dagger glass cannon (berserker’s amulet etc) is definitely fine to use. I think anyone on my team would agree that when I’m running the build we are performing adequately and not being hindered by it.
That being said, I also run staff ele (only on khylo, or in very specific situations other than that(condi heavy teams)) and a more tank double dagger build that i prefer using over my double dagger build, for the fact that it still does good damage, and doesn’t go squish.
All condition builds I’ve tried so far have felt very lackluster, and I’m admitting to it possibly being a learn to play issue, but I think if anything is not very viable atm it would be condition elementalist builds.
I’m willing to post any of the builds I use here, if you would like to try them.
TL;DR – I don’t think power ele is in a bad spot, and condition ele should probably be looked at if anything.
