Hi it’s a typical question and its just for pvp.elemental blast or primal elementalist?
And I’ll explain.(I’m not going to say something new)
As p.e i have 2 strong cds (fire-earth elemantal)and its obvious that earth elem is a life savvier.
With fire elemental i can dps by running away and heal or dps if I’m in los etc.
The bad thing is that they are at 5 min cds and are totems so it’s easy to bring them down.(although relocation it’s a solid answer to protect totems)
Elemental blast it’s for me like a mini cd that if it crits its awesome and you have the way in hidden burst with e.b+l.b+flumin
But..... its spell with long casting time and you may also have los problems
My favorite was p.e but i see more and more ele shammies using e.b...(if elemental mastery comes like it is in 5.2 i think e.b will be a must have)
If your answer has some maths also it would be most helpful..
If you're speaking from a PvE perspective, atm EB is the superior talent in almost all situations.
In a PvP situation, if you're interrupted while casting EB, you'll be locked out of all schools for the duration of the silence so that's generally considered no beuno.
