It would be a MAJOR nerf to Paladins to remove their elemental prowess against elementally weak bosses. The problem is that a lot of later bosses, like Cygnus, are strong against just about everything, which makes Paladins beyond useless against those fights. They already have one of the lowest DPSes in the game, and then add on doing half that...it was like a really bad joke. So they removed this disadvantage so that they could actually do something at bosses where they made them strong against everything.
Honestly, they should just stop making everything strong to every element, and actually make use of elements again, but I guess that's wishful thinking.
Also, I hope they realize Blast needs an Animation + Range update and gives it to us. Seriously, that skill is completely out of place with the new CB.
you know what'd be cool, something like final fantasy's elemental shifts, cooldown of say 20 seconds on bosses, fast cast, changes their resistance/weakness/neutrality
so cygnus would be ice-weak, fire strong, and poison neutral, then it uses the skill and becomes fire weak, poison strong, ice-immune for example. would make paladins have to pay a lot of attention at bosses, and would reward them with extra damage for doing so.
