I agree with that, I used to be very reliant on the whole idea of PoM Pyroblast etc. for PvP. But I believe that this revision of our talents has brought a new style of PvP to our class, one that, in my opinion, will beat out the traditional Fire/Arc as well as the Frost/Arc spec'd mage.
The ability to spec half Fire/Frost while still being able to achieve Evocation and IAE is amazing for both PvP and PvE. The fact that you can achieve Ice Block to pick insane ammounts of damage, as well as having Blast Wave and other such talents from both trees is just awesome.
I have a few reasons why I am a little hesitant to try an elementalist build:
1) No PoM (As Mazzlefizz stated)
2) No ICS (This is the biggest loss IMO)
3) Difficulty level in using both fire and frost effectively.
So, if you are up for a new challenge, and ready to try and master the best of fire and frost, as well as have two of the best arcane talents at your disposal, I suggest trying an elementalist build next patch, it will be very powerful for both PvP and PvE.
If anyone has any other elementalist builds or non elementalist builds with the redone talents, please link them here so we can discuss!
