I feel like everyone is forgetting that a part of the Burn modifier was to increase the damage of a specific element by 25%. And Singes seen on different activities did the same. “Surge” has been in the game for a long time now. The frequency at which different elements are being featured is changing. That said, just like in the past when it was say Void Burn you can still use say Stasis to great effect; crowd control is very powerful. And certain powerful Arc builds are still going to be powerful. Just because it isn’t the most optimal thing to run doesn’t mean you can’t use it effectively anymore. Same as always. On the flip side, I think there are some other ways they have seriously opened up build crafting. It SEEMS like the changes to the Armor Mod system may allow you to keep abilities up just as often and take advantage of more mods. And then the addition of Subclass Verbs to the anti-champion pool really should open things up, too. Plus… an entirely new set of subclasses and elements to mess around with.
