well because you got overloads and it procs on end.
nevertheless the main reason ele is bad is because earthquake sucks and the other spender doesnt do nearly enough dmg in ST to compensate the low lava burst dmg spam
Ele needs a rework badly,in an expansions based about the elements, ele shaman is horrible
My 435 ilvl mage glacial spike crits 500k and my 460 ele shaman elemental blast crits 300k
Its ridiculous for single target and even more for aoe,where no tank ever stays in your earthquake
Make earthquake a dot dmg ,if it hits the targets,the rest of the damage is a dot
Come on now…i have 7 chars but i play ele for the class fantasy,why am I being forced to be a meta slave ,just to enjoy the top end game?!
