Too expensive to be truly usefull for anything. It's not a valid AoE ult, because we have meteor, which costs 2,5 times less than elemental storm and let's not even talk about single target.
It's garbage.
So you imply, that this ultimate is at best a niche ability, while all other weapon ultimates are usefull at any given time.
Sounds balanced, considering the cost difference between them.

Can't meteor be blocked?
I'd rather an AOE ultimate that actually hits versus a waste of a meteor when the other player blocks it ...
(Not disputing the cost here ... the destro ultimate is expensive to cast ... )
I just hate fossilize + meteor combo ...
Meteor can be blocked, when used by a not so good player.
Sorcs while streak or rune cage
Dks will use petrify
Nightblade can use Mass hysteria
Templars would be stuck with essence drain (which is a great ability though)
So yea, there are ways to make your meteor hit unmitigated. Don't be lazy
Everyone has access to block breaking abilities.
Streak does not break block, but it's good to prevent people from doing so.

Why is that lazy?
There are a lot of proponents of meteor over the destro ultimate ... which I can get on board with in a controlled PvE vacuum.
However, no one seems to mention a PvP environment where semi-skilled to skilled players know when to block a meteor when they see it ...

What do you mean Streak doesn't break block?! I thought it did!

Do you mean 'Destro' as in Destruction Staff.
Yeah, it can do a lot of dmg, but it's not the Burst Dmg that Magicka builds needed for PvP.
