elemental seeker (blind sage) still bad?

From what I gather reading about this devotion, it’s pretty bad. I read that if you spawn a new bomb over the summon limit before the others time out, they don’t actually explode and merely get deleted.

Is this still true? They still bad?

This and because its hard to build around elemental as a whole. I think the only elemental skill i saw was PRM and it seriously lacked single target damage

If you do your build through a skill granted with this book (Tome of the Arcane Wastes) - there elemental seekers are not bad, a lot of them, and they very often appear. In all other cases, they are not very good.

I’d grow old before i get the hang of a laser build. It’s not the skill, i just never get the hang of it. Sometimes when i start paying attention to my hp bar i notice my target has moved away from my beam’s “line of sight”. Kiting seems almost impossible with this caster build. I’d really love to learn how to use the laser skills in the game because they’re really cool.

Alright thanks, I’ll try for whirlpool then instead

With my lazer guys, I just try to flash freeze then spray, then walk back and repeat. Mirror if you have to. So it’s not like stutter stepping with an auto attack guy, more like long bursts. More manageable to kite since ya just trying to walk back and shoot forward at the same time is really awkward with lazers
