Reason for Buffs/Nerfs/Reverts: Ever since the introduction of Nightfall, Elementalists have been capable of dealing an extraordinary amount of AoE DPS and pressure. RI and SF are perfect examples of this. Mind Blast, is now the equivalent of infinite energy. Any utility is easily subsidized by it. This needs minor correction. Now that the conjures do not eat RoF, no one cares about them. A new solution needs to be found if they ever want to see use/play. Now Gale and Shell Shock could add a great deal of depth to the game, however two things must be taken into consideration before any buffs are performed:
 * Gale-lock was/is utterly gay. We need it to be usable, but not “spammable”.
 * Shell shock could be useful, if the functuality of Cracked Armor was changed significantly. Currently, it (Cracked Armor) is about as useful as blinding Casters. Until something is done, not much can be said about Shell Shock or the other (what, two?) skills that inflict CA.
