I kind of think you have been playing WAR or something and your opinion might not be completely objective.
Yeah, that sentence makes no sense whatsoever, lol. The guy playing other mmo's isnt being objective, as opposed to the guy playing just 1 and having no point of reference or comparison? "You have to be a WoW zealot to be objective"? Hehe. Ok.
I still have some time on my account so I'll go take some screenshots of my combat log in a BG. Perhaps I was thumbsucking the exact number, but the ability felt insipidly weak and bugged. One more than one occasion it hit it in the middle of a pack of alliance and it would have no effect, or maybe knock 1 or 2 guys back rather than the whole zerg.
Beyond that LB coeff was nerfed, elemental lost 9% hit and you can feel it, clear as day. I'll go dig up the EJ charts.
