Don't worry i got enough 100/99 percentiles as elemental i know when to press every button, but when it got to WoD and min/maxing and planning movement didn't reward shit because a hunter rolling face would destroy you on dps every day of the week why try? HFC was the first & last tier i actually raided on another character it was so bad i had like 2 mannoroth kills as ele and 20+ as BDK being useful feelsgoodman and HFC to me was the 2nd worst tier ever created due to how badly elemental played.
but exactly my point was tighter rules never gets rewarded as elemental, blizzard loves to say MOVEMENT IS ELE'S WEAKNESS, but can't say it's strengths because it gets outclassed on survival, mobility, single target and AoE for 4 years wod-legion 4 fucking years?!!? how did that even happen, oh except it was kinda good at aoe in nighthold yay 1 moment in 4 years!
no idea about pvp post legion, elemental was horseshit to play in 8.0 i certainly wasn't going to pvp with it.
as for playing again sadly im done, i can't get into elemental, enjoy it again then watch the devs murder it again, it's happened every single expansion i just can't deal with their crap again it's like they have no plan they just destroy specs rebuild them with no goal in mind and then let the community tell them what needs to be fixed and fix it 6 months later, also EVERY FUCKING BETA they get feedback what elemental needs to have before xpac release and it's never ready it's always oh sorry here's a bandaid we'll fix it x.1 or x.1.5, i can't continue supporting a company like that(and elemental isn't the only spec they do that do it happens to a lot of classes and there's just no good excuse for that shit anymore.)
