The only reason Elem. is overused in PvE is because of Icebow.

Wrong 2 eles can give an entire party 25 stacks of might before a boss fight.

Pointless to use 2 eles for 25 stacks of might before a boss when you can do 24 stacks of might with 1 ele, 25 if you use arcane wave. So stacking might before a battle doesnt make Ele overused since like i said you can do that with 1 don’t need that second one.

Ice bow on the other hand gives High DPS/Control to 2 party members, having 2 will give 4. Now that’s something that makes a big difference if you go with 2 eles instead of 1 specially because some classes give more DPS with Ice bow than using their weapons.

Anyways iam no expert on PvE just saw this because it’s on the PvP Forum. Just a point of view here.

This can become a serious issue, it was the most ridiculous balance issue i saw in WvWvW small fights until now and the new changes may not change that. It seems there will be some nice improvements to PvP mode but if perplexity together with the other balance changes turn out to be a balance break it could destroy all those good improvements to PvP.

The most reasonable thing to do about this rune set is to let it be just in WvWvW/PvE and see how the new rune set plays with the new builds on this modes, only after that consider if it should be implemented to PvP or not.

Keep in mind that in small fights conditions are strong and pvp is all about small fights. This may give the condition builds the boost they don’t need.

I used 0/20/0/20/30 for Light Up the Darkness but i think 0/30/0/10/30 would do the job aswell. Utilities i used Arcane Blast/Signet of Air/Mist Form and S/D set. Omnomberry Pie gives a nice help too.
