Can use FN and I dont have eles since using melee dev, eles just dont survive in lab

- are you investing into them at all? however, i did update the skill trees . took melee devotion over elementals. only time you use elementals is probably for doing Ubers for your charms. just makes it so much easier or in the near future for rifting.

Nah just basic 8pts and they instadied, maybe if you invest some they survive? but not sure if worth the cost

nah yea, you definitely didnt have the life pool for them. the more points you put into elementals they gain more damage and more life. not to mention I'm sure you had little to none minion resistances.

yeah thats the issue, cant run my 30ele sorc these days and trading off my own stats for 5eles doesnt seem worth it overall
but maybe I will test some stuff on the weekend if I finally get some luck farming these damn cycles.
