I totally won’t talk about how every abilities the elementalist has is a downgrade version of other professions abilities. Because they believe having 20 weapons skills required all weapons skills to be only about 30% effective compared to other professions weapon skills.
Yes, thats how it works.
Having more tools at your disposal means that each of them has to be weaker. Its called balance.
I believe we are winning in this trade-off. For example I’d prefer having two 1s stuns on separate cooldowns, rather than having one 2s stun on a single, long cooldown. More flexibility, yada yada.
To come back on topic, has anyone actually ran some tests (Against dummies or something?) I mean, specced as full fire, it seems to me that switching to earth to apply a kitten-ton of bleeds, then water for vulnerability, then coming back to fire will outdps just staying in fire.
