I miss playing the old staff ele which seems to have been long made irrelevant. Some of the comments already made re: combo fields seems right to me, and plays into what made staff ele satisfying. Teamwork was needed to drop the correct fields and blast them. Casting meteor on a crowd felt great, and if you were willing to take a few chances you could cause havoc with a well placed static field or earth 4. There have been so many nerfs... I could go back further and wish for meteor/tornado to be a thing again but that might be asking for too much...
