So I decided to make an ele just to see for myself what the power gap between them and other classes is really like.
Holy freaking hell, their damage output is nuts. Fireball one-shots everything but bosses.
That said, I'm having a tough time deciding whether I want to go Saleana/Pyromancer or Elestra/Ice Witch. I'm leaning towards Ice Witch at the moment since I think the ice skills are far more visually appealing, even if the overall damage output isn't as high as Pyromancer. I'm also having a tough time with builds. Everything just seems so useful, especially with the cooldowns being rather high.
What do I sacrifice from the fire tree in order to get more SP into the ice skills, if I should sacrifice anything at all? And which ice skills should I focus on? And then there are the 1st specialization skills... Does higher levels of Glacial Spike really make a difference? Should I rank Toxic Spray high enough to get that additional puddle, or is that something only Mystics get? So many questions.
