The effect that is currently on the pure melee elemental bp's is now known to be avatar, 6 second cast time.

At first glance, that seems great, but as Lucy shows, the effect is actually the version of avatar that primal weapons proc. That means it's limited by the 250 cap on innate item +ATK effects.

At the level of the game where these BP's would be accessible, *many* melee class characters already have over 150 in +ATK, some few are even coming close to hitting the 250 cap. And as these people collect more and more high end PoP gear, more and more will actually be hitting the 250 +ATK cap.

For this reason, the effect on the melee BP's is quite disappointing. Given the other armor upgrades of my choice over the course of the next few months, the effect will be absolutely useless to me, even in xp groups.

The fix is quite simple. Rather than using the same version of avatar that is used for primal weapons, use the same version of avatar that is cast by shamans as the effect on these bps.
