Couple things.

- You need to read the rules of our forums before you participate. Your post indicates you're unaware of these rules right now. They are located at the top of every forum.

- Use appropriate grammar and punctuation. Using 'u' and failing to capitalize will get your posts discarded.
- Post in a concise manner. You spent a lot of effort in that post telling us stuff we already know, which adds no value to the thread.
- Don't post with wishlist ideas. It's the very rare case where we permit people to wishlist changes in talents and abilities. We do this because most people have very silly ideas and it's easier to forbid this from happening. You will see some posters who make suggested changes, but this is only permitted (at moderator's discretion) where it's supported with facts/math and generally well thought out.

Based on your first effort, I believe you should stick to reading the forums for a while longer.

Original Post:

hi all, this is my first post so please dont be too cruel if i missed the topic.
considering elemental dps after upcoming changes prolly wont move from last place on dps meters, some ideas i read around here and mathematics a lot of people were doin, some as far as i see logical ideas came to my mind. we have Thunderstorm ability that is our "ultimate" if i may call it that way, its a talent that should at least be of medium consideration since it deepest in tree. still, as far as i see it, in pvp (which is not my primary consern) it delays death by maybe 2 seconds, and in pve does practicly nothing to our dps, here would be a good talent if we would have mana problems, but am really rearly in posiion that i have to use it, so as far as relevance goes, it could actually be in lower part of tree. i know this prologue might not be usefull since u all know this, but i still decided to write it just for a complete storyline. now, during those holidays i had couple of ideas, gave every one of them couple of days of braining, and got one that might actually be useful appliable. since ele's lack dps, mana gain wont help with that and our "ultimate" is kinda useles, what do you say about a change that every time when thunderstorm is used, it creates a warp rift (mechanics exists in nexus-forked lighting) that passivly damages all opponnets in range of 20? yds for x(10?) seconds for x damage, exact numbers should be figuared up by someone who can do it right, and also there could be a glyph added that creates an extra forked-lightning in 10yd range (for5 sec?) to give ele's in pvp some survivability / time to heal / damage. it would pick up poor relevance of Thunderstorm, close elemental to his true nature (master of lightning), fix poor visual from Thunderstor, help dps in pve and grant so much wanted AOE once every 45 sec and improve pvp in various ways.
thank you for reading. thoughts ?
happy new year
