With the last update, this elite is harder to stript/ rupt now, even though its power remains the same. For PvE or for PvP, which uses can we have of EA? Which interesting combos can we have with multi-elemental spells?

It's still an enchant spell, so no harder to strip. As for uses - not a lot unless you have to go dual attune for energy return. Look at Master of Magic and the playtime it gets......

Ele Attunement is bad because unless you're running 25 energy spells or dual attunement, it's not much help (and if you're running one 25 energy spell glyph of energy is better):
50% = 12 /25 vs 8/25 from regular attunement ; 7/15 vs 6/15 ; 5/10 vs 4/10; 2/5 vs 2/5. You're better off with AoR+Attune unless you dual attune or run 2 attributes at high spec (which is unusual).

Another problem is nonelites in fire and earth are really hard to rationalize (except with AP).

So the best I guess would be a chain lightning + water AoE mix with chilling winds or something.

12+1+2=15 air
12+2=14 water
3+1=4 energy storage

Chain lightning (4e)
Rust (4e)
Blurred Vision (4e) / Blinding Flash (7e) /Frigid armor (2e)
Ice spikes (7e)/Deep Freeze (12e)
Chilling Winds (2e) / Lightning Orb (7e)
YMLAD (replaces Gust)
Ele attunement
AoR

don't know how else to use it. Rodgort spam + Water hexes or something...dual heats are on long recharge and firestorm is only 10 energy anyhow.

Ele attunement needs 0 energy storage due to the recharge change to 30s.

As for master of magic, the main problem is the lack of cross-attribute lines combos.

Chilling winds+water hexes, ele flame+ water hexes, gust+water/earth hexes, steam+burn,...and that's all. Everything else ins't enoughto be a real "combo", and anyways not is taking elite slot.

dual attune and rodgorts is about all i've ever used it for.

It's good on heroes so you don't have to worry about their energy at all. I've used it for air nuking (lightning hammer+orb spam is pretty decent on its own), earth warding (less so since they got destroyed) and occasionally water (maelstrom+snares+blurred vision is pretty good for control and provides more dps than a curses necro)
