Witch Elf and post Torq era now

As many I'm a bit sad that Torq has to move on but that's life and I too wish him the best with his new projects.

I truly like where Torq was leading the Witch Elf to, at least the ongoing path as I've no idea what he had planned at the end of the road.

He was right about killing the old FM (Mythic only answer to resolve its own mess) and that aoe didn't feel right, borderline freaking OP for the aoe stuff.

Elixir of Shadows is amazing and does fit like a glove for the Witch Elf. I think that's the direction future changes need go to add to the berserk Witch Elf gameplay.

I could be wrong but it felt like Torq did saw what was wrong with the Witch Elf. The Witch Elf wasn't meant to have finishers but combos (see DaoC Savage) as opposed to the Witch Hunter's finishers. That was also the reason why I was told to roll a Witch Elf (I mained a kobold Savage in DaoC). But something changed pre alpha - beta and live and it left the Witch Elf in a in between two worlds that Mythic was never able to fix.

I'm not asking anything and I'm certainly not going to make any proposals as it would probably be too Witch Elf biased but I do hope that the person who's going to take over from Torq will continue to improve the Witch Elf the way Torq did.

I would honestly love a better finisher on WE. WH has a nice debuff in mid tree and a very nice dot right tree, while we have skip a gcd to do a bit more damage in the next 5 seconds in the middle tree, or "go respec to WB" in the right tree

There was nothing else on the cards for WE, and certainly not some imaginary warband spec.

If only WE could use aoe slice/Ra for pve, that would be a great deal.

Stabbing every single mob, whenever sorcer/choppa/mara and even dps-tanks/healers can spam aoe is just anoying

That's good news imo. WE is fine atm. I was never huge fan of making warband spec for every class anyway.
