Yes, I know it can't be used in Arenas but from a BG & WG perspective having multiple fire ele's up every two minutes could be very handy...
Also could be situationally useful in PvE for a DPS increase...
Thoughts?

40% uptime elementals, when bosses tend not to exceed 2m anyway? Yes please. Now to get some good DPS numbers versus the alternatives...
btw did blizzard ever mention why they don't allow FE in arenas?
A wizard did it.Quote:

Yeah, 10m - 10m would get patched in a jiff even if it had been left in. Still pretty interesting.
I've switched from LB Glyph to Fire Elementals, will see how it goes.
4x Shaman, with an elemental every 5 mins will be fun.
Running ToW, LvB and for now Fire Elementals.
I dunno, doesn't seem worth a lot for me, even for BGs only. They are a fun gimmick but I like to change totems frequently and often just overwrite them before their duration ends. The fact that they just run around like crazy thhings and not necessarily target who I want (unlike magma for melee) kind of bugs me.
I think I'll have a pvp arena spec and a pvp BG/world pvp spec. 5 min. fire elementals are just too FUN to pass up!
They're huge, completely out of control, and I love them!
Me like
Ima glyph em on my other dualspec for honor grinding. They make a realy sweet mess of things that gives u the edge and makes it easyer to kill stuff. When they group up on sumone they can kill them aswell.

I find, I usually "save" them.. for when they'll be useful.
Quite frequently, I finish the BG, instance or daily route, and have not used them.
Fire Elementals, even on a 20 minute timer are a powerful tool.
That's a lot of AoE.
With a 5 min refresh, I'm going to have to get into the habit of using them more often.
It's only the first day and I'm loving it! Getting to drop fire eles like, two to three times in an AB or EoS or Isle is so much fun!
I've been defending a base so many times and like 6 people start running up on me and I plop them down. They either turn and run or charge in and get smoked. Thanks blizz for buffing fire elementals SO much! (i know they're not stronger, but I consider the huge decrease in cooldown a MAJOR buff )
I find elementals invaluable in AV, defending a bunker or a tower, 5 of those puppies running around either helps kill the enemies, or just keeps em busy and separated while timers count down. Having them on 5 minute timers means every bunker/tower cap i can drop 5 of em. Add in the new fire nova, and its gonna take a whole hell of a lot of people to get the drop on me!
