Let's look at a forgotten soul

So I've been around for a long time now, I've seen a lot of mage changes and improvement, but it seems like one of our soul didn't get any love at all, never, you know it too, Elementalist needs an entire rework.

Some of you might think it's useless, because the soul itself doesn't seem to have any purpose, others would prefer to have a discussion about Warlock and as it was mentionned, Warlock doesn't need a huge rework, maybe just a damage buff will be ok.

Anyway I come to you now with some ideas to change the Elementalist, to make it a playable soul, and I would like to know your opinion about these changes, maybe your ideas?

Here we go, First of all, mechanic changes:

Cycle of Earth/Air/Water/fire

-Remove the damage bonus to the next spell
-Reduce the cast time of the next spell by 2.5s

Why? Because the main problem elementalist has is that he can't move at all, by doing this we give it more mobility and the next changes are based on this to make it not OP don't worry.

Elemental Burst

-Now can't consume Elemental Cycles
-Increase the damage of your next ability by 7%
-Now 30s CD

Why? The aim of this change is to create a burst, it is supposed to work with the next change mentionned.

Prismatic Volley

-Can't consume Elemental Cycles

Why? Well, I've said it.

Intensify Elements

-Now has 1 minute CD

Why? Because making a burst ability with 2 minutes CD is so stormlegion (check out harbinger's EA)

Reclaim Elements

-Now restore 50% of mage's maximum health, Sacrifices 50% pet's maximum health
-Remove damage bonus

Why ? Because killing our pet is a weird way to burst, but, now it's an emergency heal ability to give us some survivability

Synergize

-Now restore X healthpoints to the mage when his pet's doing damage

Why ? To give some survivability, again, not too much, enough to do solo pve content with the fire or air elemental

Ice shield

-No more a shield
-Rename it Ice spike, froze and interrupt an enemy for X second, enemies who have been froze can't be frozen again for 45 second (stay cool). 10 Second CD
-Bring it up in the tree at 28 points

Why ? Because why would we need a small shield while we have small autohealing from the pet, now we have some utility

Rushing elements

-I seriously don't know what to do with this one, the fact that the prismatic armor gives a similar proc make it useless


Now that we changed the mechanic, we still have crappy damages, and this is where I need your fabulous brains to try to find a way to balance the damage scaling, the aim here is to make a good DPSing soul, but below Pyro, harbinger and (reworked in the futur) warlock.

That's all for now, I'll maybe add some more suggestion in this thread if I've got some, hope you won't kill me in the replies with "ERMAHGED IT'S TOO OP", have a nice day :)
