Thanks to a support team, elemental is really difficult to deal with especially next patch. I find myself often top on damage on a decent team.
I wouldn't play it in arena though. Do RBGs, I imagine every RBG team will be looking for a dedicated ele shaman next patch thanks to the chain lightning cleave and 25% pvp power on healing.
Four things I think will make arena viable for elemental for average players:
- Passive damage reduction in about 10-15%. Nuvoz has suggested 2% per lightning shield charge. You effectively switch between offense and defense.
- Totemic Projection actually working properly by projecting the active totem in the middle of the AoE marker or giving capacitor an 8-10yd stun range.
- Capacitor totem have a 1 second reduction on it's charge time, 2 seconds glyphed, 4 seconds not.
- Some ability that allows us to use totems while silenced for a short period of time.
