What is says on the tin.
Nowadays, it seems that most long-term ele players out there are vets who continue to play the class out of some sense of loyalty to it and/or sheer spite and determination.
I never was an elementalist main myself, and my only ele character lasted a few months before being deleted. I leveled him manually and, to be honest, it was the most fun I had leveling any of my characters. But once I reached lvl80, I found myself not enjoying the class *precisely* because of how weak it felt no matter what builds I tried; if I went berserker/viper I'd get clapped, if I went marauder I would hit even less than a wet noodle and then get clapped anyway. It felt especially bad when I would log back into any of my other characters and survive just fine in glass gear while doing good dps. I still love the ele class fantasy and the feel of it, but at that point it felt like my ele was just taking up a char slot for no good reason.
Lately, I've decided to invest in a set of ascended trailblazer trinkets. Have a spare char slot too. It made me consider creating an ele again. I now have a guardian and a necro I do most instanced content with, so maybe creating a character just for some casual fun won't be too bad. I heard good things about ele trailblazer builds, but most of it is from a year or two ago. Can trailblazer weaver/tempest still perform well in open-world metas and solo? Seeing numbers rise in arc and feeling like I'm pulling my weight is one aspect of my fun in this game, so I would love to have a simplified rotation that is up to date, if there's any!
Thanks in advance.
