Useless elite skills...

Charged Chop is now our best spammable dps skill... 638.4% dps at lvl 72.
Contrast this with Wd/S elite Untamable which is 532% dps.
Also, Wd/M Wind Chop is even less... 478.8% dps.

So my question is this... with Charged Chop so much better, do our elite dps skills have any purpose at all?

Well at least your combo has elites still. Warden/Druid has two elites that were pet cast, Dispell Curse and Magic Control, completely unusable now. They still exist, they just can't be cast. Then take our lvl 50 elite which was taken away, a small AOE HOT, and replaced with a taunt I can no longer side heal, cure, DPS, or take a hit.. but I can taunt a mob to beat on me....

*cough* try spamming charged chop and look at your other skills.

You'll do 1.5x your dps at least if you notice this. Other elite skills aren't useless as you think still.

Ill give you a hint later on if you don't notice.

I'm ready for your hint... I don't see what I could be missing yet.

If it's about the 1 sec CD... that's the same as GCD... can't spam Wind Chop any faster, and Untamable already has a CD, so can't spam that at all.

i noticed changes to gcd as well, i posted it earlier but it seems to have been eaten by the forum mods. the gcd on some skills is different from others as in when some skills are in gcd, others are not in cooldown. its going to take you some time to get used to it and figure out how to use to your advantage, but not too shabby nonetheless.
