Not really needed, ele is already the best caster in arena.

It's been changed back to 15% on the ptr now. check the latest ptr notes :/
Elemental
Thunderstorm once again restores 15% mana, down from 60%.
Yea, the 15% sucks
I hope they give us another way to regain mana.
A nerf to the 60% I could understand, but complete revert I don't. They obviously had some intent with the original change, why not just drop it to 30% before scrapping the idea?
It was only a tooltip error, if you looked at the effect values (wowdb ptr tooltips showed them) they didn't change at all
i dont play elemental but i will agree they could use a little mana regain buff, but 60% is way to much.
The damage power of Elem is not really tied to their mana capabilities, having Elem's mana issues fixed should be done separately from balancing Elem's burst output.
can someone honestly explain to me where ele is having mana issues in PVP? I don't see it at all unless i'm using these 3 abilities like a douchebag: healing surge, purge, chain lightning
seriously, easiest mana management ever.

Only way Elem can regain lots of mana is through spamming Lightning Bolt for a prolonged time, and even that is based on a % chance to proc.
Spamming Healing Surge leads to mana depletion VERY quickly, and Elem is forced to either not heal - or heal a bit more and then have no mana for meaningful dps.
Unlike most other DPS casters who can on-demand gain huge amounts of mana very quickly (mage-evocate, moonkin-entering eclipse with astral communion, warlock-life tap, shadow priest-shadow fiend/hymn and some passives) - Elemental only has the defensive spell Thunderstorm to gain a measly amount of mana.
Either Thundestorm needs to grant a huge % of mana, or Elem needs to have a much better way to regain mana (either through a cooldown or passively).
