This should have EVERYTHING you're looking for. It'll take quite a while to read all his research though.

There's more to his post but it's outdated information due to a nerf. I know know if DN NA has the nerf yet or not but if we don't, we'll have it pretty soon.

Seleana vs Elestra Wrote:Which is stronger Seleana or Elestra?
I think Seleana is better now.
-As you all know, EL's dps is greatly affected by Freeze debuff.
-Unfortunately EL's freeze debuff has been nerfed.
-Currently, -1% ice element resist extends freeze duration by ~0.05sec. (before the update this value was ~0.1sec.)
-I compared my hybrid FD seleana to my hybrid FD elestra w/Exact same stats.
-Skill crest on Seleana: FB, Freezing shield, broom, Fire ulti.
on Elestra: Freezing sword, Freezing shield, broom, Fire ulti.
Results:
-FD Seleana is faster clearing the New LM abyss in which the Bosses are immune to freeze.
-FD Elestra is faster in clearing Hell Bishop nest. (this will change if i replace the shield plate on my seleana w/burning hand)
-----
Seleana (stable build)
dps skills: GW+GS →FB, Fire bird, Flame road, Inferno. and GS+lava roll
Pros: high burst dmg is very effective due to shortened Freeze duration.
-Burning hand helps to boost your dmg.
Cons: 2x freeze stack for FB, Fire bird.
-last hit of fire ulti is unlikely to benefit from 2x dmg...unless by some miracle the 2xINT prefix effect+ FF + GS 18% freeze rate all stack at the right timing,, when you are able to cast your Ulti... the odds of this happening is very low.
Elestra (fire elestra build)
DPS skills: GW+Injection＋GS → Flame road/Fire ulti.
Pros: Able to support party w/2x dmg at will, w/o having to worry about -ice resists.
-Flame road+Fire ulti is still very strong.
Cons: Not nearly as effective now that Ice barrier is useless.
-lose a lot of DPS by not having Burning hand passive.
-In a party the diff between 1.5~2.0x(seleana GW+GS) and 2.0~3.0x dmg (elestra GW+GS+injection+blizzard) is still big, but not as large as 1.5~2x and 4.0x dmg as it used to be.
so seleana is prolly better now that Elestra lost its 4.0x dmg boost party support ability..
