Ele wave does nothing to Flame burst, Wind blast, WC, or Sand burst. (I think also Rain cast too)
Flameburst easily outdamages water canon because it makes much more effective use of chain cylinder and hits with AOE. It's just a shame that we don't have the attack duration reforge.
Also doesn't affect Barrier spikes, which is a shame.
Which is a huge shame since they could have totally made it a playable version of an alchemy attack used in a cutscene and we all know out of all the alchemy skills (it and Sand Burst) it needed a buff the most seeing how absolutely unusable it is in end game missions at R1 even with R1 Alchemy Master and R1 Clay Mastery with a Barrier Spike upgraded S5 Earthquake Cylinder. :\
I demand we get an elemental wave version of Barrier Spikes that not only has increased hp and placement...
But it'll generate a viscous vortex that sucks enemies towards it and shreds them for 1,000 damage every second they are touching it until either the enemy or the barrier is gone. D<

Well don't forget that Sand burst got a MEGA buff, and both it and Spikes now are based off of stats for extra dmg and for the spikes, HP and MAYBE def/prot? I don't know about that last bit, I only just thought about it.
I doubt the boost from your stamina is enough to make it last for more than 5 seconds. Can any testers see how much stronger it makes it?

10% of your stamina is added to Sandburst's base damage.
15% of your health is added to Barrier spike's reflective damage.

Sand burst forces monsters to drop aggro after the sandburst duration, however when that happens, a new enemy will aggro you right away.
So in conclusion, you have 15+ seconds of only one aggro, This is very useful for single-target classes.
Sandburst also holds more usefulness, how?
• Your raincloud just ran out, and theres one monster left in the room, before the next spawn, you can blind it then pop out a raincloud then kill it.
• You can also use it like this: Chain cylinder WC > Sandburst > Manually charge up WC > Sandburst > charge it up again(this works very well on the boss round of NPC arena!)
• You can also do alot of other things like, Music buff yourself, set things up like Barriers/hydra/clouds ect.
• Only thing it has over lullaby is that you can blind a monster more then once.
• Mages get the best of it cause of Guard cylinders, too.
The only downside to sand burst is I've seen in a vid or two, that if you blind a mob with rank 1 rain up and the weak thunder hits, it WILL cancel the blind.
