Fact
Changes: • Capstone: Lava Burst, 20% stronger against targets affected by your Flame Shock (Icy Veins). • Lightning Overload (new): Nature spells occasionally duplicate their effects. • Elemental Reach: +15 yd range to more spells and to Flame Shock. • Earthbound (new): Earthbind Totem roots nearby targets for 5 sec when cast. • Convection/Concussion/Elemental Fury/Elemental Devastation form the mana-cost and damage/crit backbone, largely carried over from Classic with Forever-era rank scaling. Strengths: • Lava Burst + Flame Shock gives Elemental a real single-target rotation instead of pure Lightning Bolt spam • Lightning Overload is a free damage-duplication proc with no downside • Convection/Elemental Focus keep mana sustain manageable for 5-mans Weaknesses: • Elemental's own talent tree tops out at 46 of 51 documented points -- any Elemental-focused build has to spend the last 5 points in another tree, unlike Enhancement/Restoration which both total exactly 51 • No confirmed AoE-specific Elemental talent beyond Fire Nova baseline changes • Beta players (US and EU forums, Sept 20-21) call Elemental weak and near one-button: a 3% row-1 crit talent vs Enhancement's 5%, a late cast-time row and a limited Lightning Overload.
