Yes this is disappointing to say the least. The element only was useful to enemies with shields. Like in CE with the AR was useful for dealing with witches. Now we will have to use an alternate solar weapon to bring down their shields before we can blind them and kill them. It's complete BS IMO, elements only made the certain raid enemies and nightfall a little easier having primary weapons with burns as it was the only activities before HoW where they made a difference. The longer this game goes on the less I have put into it with each expansion, that's a sign of just how the fun has been drained from this game since year 1 ended. You can make all the kool gear you want but if the game isn't fun I'm not playing it.
